This is an unexpected moment, but there are even more unexpected moments in the NBA, like the longest buzzer beater, or shooting with a dislocated finger. Everything in this video is extremely unexpected, and first, we got the time Steph Curry did something even he didn't know was possible.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:14)
With the dollar push ahead, Curry down the line, and he'll ram it home!

**SPEAKER_3** (0:19)
A right hand spike!

**SPEAKER_1** (0:21)
Dang, BD Lowry didn't stand a chance, and neither does Drew Holliday at number 23

**SPEAKER_2** (0:26)
Incredible to believe. He gets on the net, high.
Drew Holliday caught it back! There, puts it in! What a play! He knew he was gonna get called for a travel. Drew it off the back of the defender, and then knocked down the three.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:40)
Sheesh, Ro's a genius and a bucket, but LeBron's IQ is on a whole nother level. Only his foot game might be even better.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:48)
It's his shoe that came off.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:50)
It's, I think he might have got it back on here.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:53)
No, it's still off, he's still.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:54)
He's got one shoe on, right?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:56)
Now, you need your shoes to play bad. As great as he is, still need two shoes.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:02)
And here he is, with the throw down.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:04)
How this man gonna lose a shoe and then put the Clippers to sleep? But the Lakers also got a bedtime story, and OKC has never been happy.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:11)
In this game, the defender, Russ Brooks, held by a center.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:17)
Joey put it down!

**SPEAKER_1** (1:22)
This dude made one flip shot, and the fans are acting like he won the NBA Finals. Josh Giddey does Russ one better. He hit a shot without even standing.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:36)
Oh, Giddy, from the back side, he was on his back.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:40)
Still gets the shot up to beat the shot clock, and it drops in. Wait, did he do that?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:46)
I just thought he did.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:47)
I'm not sure which one he loves more, circus shots or teenagers. But you don't have to ask Steph twice, because this man is so good, he started taking tips from the Harlem Globetrotters.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:57)
We've talked about it many times on broadcast that turnovers and fouls have been their proxies. They've come in both. Only five turnovers tonight.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:06)
Oh my god.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:07)
Oh, sensational.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:09)
Now that's how you turn lemons into lemonade right there. Here's Steph and Curry.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:13)
Dang, Steph, you just embarrassed the defending champs on your knees. But Luka Dachas has the nets on the knees, asking for mercy.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:21)
Late in the shot clock, four seconds.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:23)
Got it from Kleba.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:24)
Again, late in the clock.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:25)
In desperation, he strikes it up. And that is Luka Magic right there.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:32)
How the Nets gonna play lockdown defense just to get rewarded with that BS? But that's far from the only question I got. Because when you're 7'4 with an almost 8-foot wingspan, there are certain things you shouldn't be able to do, like how my man gonna enter the game and immediately turn into Steph Curry.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:49)
He fires, he scores!

**SPEAKER_2** (2:52)
That's a good tie.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:54)
Seriously, bro, Wimpy needs to be nerfed. Yet, he's not the only one. See, the 1980s were run exclusively by two teams, the Lakers and the Celtics. And in the 1987 playoffs, the Pistons had a chance to put an end to the dominance. They were squaring up against Larry Bird's Celtics. But in game five, Dennis Johnson showed the entire world why Boston's chemistry was unmatched.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:18)
That's a set play off the backboard.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:20)
What a beauty. Johnson bounces it to Bird.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:23)
That was a set play.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:25)
Bird was fronted and they bounced.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:26)
This team was the real deal. But if you really want to watch a man on the mission, then look no further than 2006 See, you had two of the game's youngest stars, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. And fans didn't realize it at the time, but they were in store for something truly special. Because once CP3 touched the ball, it turned into David vs. Goliath 2.0.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:46)
With that ability to snipe from the perimeter.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:50)
Oh man, some athleticism.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:52)
Chris Paul taking it right at Dwight Howard.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:54)
You can only grin at that play. And a little taunting.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:58)
Dang, no wonder Kim Kardashian couldn't resist this man. Only Kanye isn't alone in his suffering, because the Grizzlies thought they had Pat Bev's number, just to let this happen.
