VINE: Stephen Curry performs the most amazing basketball assist we’ve ever seen

You're gong to need to slo-mo this down

Kevin McGillicuddy

A simple lay-up is for mere mortals

This is probably the best assist you’re going to see in the NBA this season but there is no way you’re going to be able to recreate it no matter how many times you watch it.

Stephen Curry was in fine form for the Golden State Warriors against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night when he threw one of the most amazing passes we’ve ever seen.

Chicago’s Joakim Noah thought he the had the guard covered to the basket when Curry faked a pass, switched the ball to his other hand, and then flicked the ball behind his back to David Lee for an easy score.

Don’t worry Joakim, he would have fooled us too.

Seriously, you will need to see this at least five times to even begin to realise the skill involved.

The ‘Bulls still managed to win by 113 to 111 in overtime but Curry’s skill should have been worth more than just the two points.
