THE TUNNEL — NBA superstar Steph Curry has long had the tradition of finishing his pre-game warm-ups with a trick shot from the players' tunnel, but this week he took it to an entirely different level.

Before Wednesday's game in San Francisco against the Los Angeles Clippers, Curry finished his famous warm-up routine by attempting another tunnel shot, but this time into the opposite basket more than 74 feet away. And naturally, because he's Steph Curry and the greatest shooter to ever live, he made it.

No backboard, no rim, just a swish.

A shot that would probably take trick-shot experts Dude Perfect several dozen tries to make, Curry made it on his first attempt, in front of thousands of fans.

Maybe he was inspired by San Antonio Spurs player Sandro Mamukelashvili, who swished a backward full-court shot over his head earlier in the day during a shootaround. No fans were around to see this one, but the team's cameraman caught him making the wild shot twice during practices this week.

Usually, these kinds of awesome displays are saved for All-Star Weekend — starting Friday in Indianapolis — when stars like Curry participate in basketball challenges including the 3-Point Shootout and Dunk Contest, but fans got a special sneak peek this year.
