NBA fans ‘live in fear’ of Steph Curry as Warriors star sinks ‘absolutely insane’ half-court buzzer-beater
Steph Curry has left NBA fans "living in fear" after knocking down an absurd half-court shot in a recent loss to the Boston Celtics.
The Golden State Warriors All-Star, 34, launched a long 3 after a hectic possession that turned into a stunning buzzer-beater, giving his team a 55-54 halftime lead on Thursday.
With about 10 seconds left in the first half, Curry made a pass to Thompson, who was cutting to the basket.
However, Thompson lost his handle and Marcus Smart stole the ball after diving onto the court.
Smart then hurled it to Jayson Tatum, launching Boston on the break.
But as Tatum charged at Golden State's basket, Curry stripped him of the ball.

The Warriors star had just 1.5 seconds to make a shot as he stood BEHIND the Celtics mid-court logo on the Warriors' half.
Curry then sent it flying from 51 feet away and somehow swished it as the halftime buzzer sounded.
The guard's incredible play shocked NBA fans.
One commented: "I grow weary of living in fear of this man."
