Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry took his trend of hitting 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 well-known for hitting jump shots from the entrance tunnels or the first few rows of the stands during warmups.
Before playing the Clippers, however, he launched the ball from the opposite tunnel, sending it towards the other end of the court and through the net.
The three-point marksman started off by casually making his way to the walkway between the tunnel and the court as if he was going to walk back to the locker room before stopping and turning around.
He then took aim at the far basket and needed only a short run-up before heaving the ball into the air.
After watching the shot curve through the air, Curry then held his arms to the sky before breaking out in a dance as the crowd went wild.

Curry is also set to put his shooting skills on display 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.
The 35-year-old Curry had previously accepted the challenge and it appears the battle will finally be taking place when NBA All-Star Weekend takes over Indianapolis.
So far this season Curry has been averaging 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 the Liberty.
