Steph Curry will catch a pass midair while his back is towards the basket and still make the shot

Steph Curry left the game because of a calf injury, and came back later in the game? We wouldn’t believe you if you told us after seeing this shot that Curry catches in midair.

Seriously, not many in the league will attempt a shot like this, let alone while they’re concerned over their calf. But Steph isn’t any other player in the league. He’ll grab the basketball with his back facing the rim and still get a good shot in, even if he’s already up in the air.
