Before Damian Lillard was hitting shots with his feet on the half-court logo, there was Steph Curry showing off unreal range for the Golden State Warriors for years.
Remember that shot against the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2016? That thing was from — as Mike Breen said at the time — waaaaaay downtown.
It feels like Kenny Smith did. On Monday night’s NBA on TNT broadcast, while watching Lillard’s highlights in the Portland Trail Blazers Game 1 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Smith said something aimed right at Curry: “I don’t think you could shoot as deep as him, Steph. I got to see it when you come back!”
Kenny Smith says he doesn’t think Steph Curry can shoot as deep as Damian Lillard.

Apparently, Curry was watching:

Smith responded:
Man it’s been a long time I forgot 😂 https://t.co/93vQYTd8iF

So here’s a reminder for everyone: Curry’s range is similarly unreal.
