You feel like maybe at this point we would be used to this sort of thing?
Right?
[[stares blankly into the bathroom mirror searching for answers that will not come]]
How is it that after all these years, Stephen Curry still pulls off some crazy shit that makes you gape—slack-jawed and simple-minded—staring at the television like a buffoon? Screaming or dancing or jumping or however it is you individually choose to express pure amazement. I feel like at some point we should all have grown accustomed to this level of individual brilliance.
But if I ever get to point where I expect (or, worse, demand) performances like this—freewheeling, fun, full of the spark of life itself—please slap my stupid face right in its stupid face.
Goddamn Steph, what a night.

Yup.
Some reactions from around the league, especially as we moved towards and then through that magical fourth quarter:
Help me: Am I just a homer for really liking that Jamie Foxx-narrated Steph Curry ad? I'm really no longer rational when it comes to Curry..

Curry knew that one was dropping before his elbow even raised. He knew that one was good before he started dribbling.

It's usually illegal to do that in public RT @SherwoodStrauss Curry's just exploring his imagination out there

Curry is unfair

James Michael McAdoo had the #PostGameHotTake:
And Steph aint believe me when I told him we were gonna combine for 45 tonight... MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

It's stupid that a game like this will most likely seal Steph getting the MVP, but that is the nature of these awards. Each performance swings the votes, or at least shapes the narrative.
. @NBA Please name an MVP tomorrow. We need to end this constant pining and measuring after every single performance. LET THE VOTERS VOTE!
— Zach Harper (@talkhoops) April 10, 2015
But, anyways, enough of that.
Let's all stand back and admire the beauty of Steph's performance.
Hot damn, get some.
