Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry took his tendency to take shots from the tunnel during pregame warmups to a new level before their 130-125 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
Curry has become known for taking jump shots from the entrance tunnels or the first rows of the stands during warmups.
Before playing against the Clippers, however, he threw the ball from the opposing tunnel, sending it to the other end of the court and through the net.
The three-point shooter began by walking casually toward the hallway between the tunnel and the court as if he were going to walk back to the locker room before stopping and turning around.
He then aimed for the far basket and only needed a short run before launching the ball into the air.
After watching the shot curve through the air, Curry raised his arms toward the sky before beginning to dance as the crowd went wild.
Curry is also set to show off his shooting skills during a one-on-one three-point contest against New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu.
Ionescu had originally challenged Curry six months ago after she won the WNBA 3-point competition.
Curry, 35, had previously accepted the challenge and it looks like the battle will finally take place when NBA All-Star Weekend takes over Indianapolis.
So far this season, Curry has averaged 28 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists for the Warriors, who entered the night with a 26-25 record.
Last season, Ionescu averaged 17 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists for Liberty.
