Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry took his trend of hitting shots from the tunnel during pregame warmups to a new level before playing the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
Curry has become known for hitting jump shots from the entrance tunnels or the front rows of the stands during warm-ups.
However, before playing against the Clippers, he launched the ball from the opposite tunnel and sent it to the other side of the field and through the net.
The three-point shooter started by casually walking toward the walkway between the tunnel and the field, as if he wanted 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-up before throwing the ball into the air.
After watching the shot curve through the air, Curry held his arms skyward before breaking into a dance as the crowd went wild.

Curry will also showcase his shooting skills in a one-on-one three-point matchup 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 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 the Liberty.
