Curry is going through the 17th season of his NBA career with the Warriors. He continues to shine as one of the best guards in the league, standing tall as arguably the greatest shooter in history.
His connection with Green, who he's been teammates with since 2013, continues to be strong. That much was the case during their link-up in the first quarter. Green found Curry pulling off a backdoor cut as the former fired the pass to the latter. After getting the pass, Curry successfully converted the acrobatic shot at the rim.
