Watch: Stephen Curry drains ridiculous three-quarter court buzzer-beater

Nobody in the NBA has more range than Stephen Curry. He can make buckets from anywhere on the floor with ease, and he proved that again on Thursday night against the Orlando Magic.

That was when he effortlessly drained a three-quarter court buzzer-beater just before the end of the first half. 

Curry took the inbounds pass with just over one second remaining on the clock, took one step past the opposite three-point line, and drained a shot that was nothing but net.

Just look at this shot and marvel at the beauty of it.

It is not supposed to look that easy from that far away. 

Curry is one of the best three-point shooters in NBA history, but has started to show some signs of slowing down this season as he gets into his mid-late 30s. 

He entered Thursday's game averaging 23.3 points per game, which is one of his lowest marks in a decade. The only season in the past 10 years where he averaged fewer points was the 2019-20 season when he appeared in just five games.

He is also shooting under 40% from three-point range for just the third time in his career (and one of the other seasons was, again, the 2019-20 season when he played in five games).

Even with that he is still capable of putting on a show on any give night. He is also still capable of making shots from anywhere on the floor.
