- The Turnaround Three
It goes overlooked but the Steph Curry turnaround three might be the most insane move in all of sports. I can’t think of anything that is more mind-boggling than that! He had another one last night with under a minute to go in a tie game! We’ll talk about that, some Jim Harbaugh news, some REO Speedwagon, and an all-time GLUE GUY! Let’s have a day!

Today’s Trivia🧠
After Wilt Chamberlain (118), who has the most 50-point games in NBA History (with 31) ? |
On This Day…
🏀 On this day in 2019…
James Harden (HOU) became the first player since Wilt Chamberlain (1962) to score 55+ points in two straight games! He put up 58 in an OT loss to the Brooklyn Nets. This was also his 18th straight 30-point game!
Sometimes we forget how much of a heater Harden was on in 2019!
Today’s Stump Story…
🏀 The History of the Turnaround 3!
Gonna keep it fun and light with today’s story, this occurrence that Steph Curry has turned into something normal is absolutely insane!
The Steph Curry turnaround three is one of the wildest things in all of sports. Yesterday we got the latest edition of this move with under a minute to go. in a Primetime matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
It was a tie-ball game at 108 a piece and Steph got the ball in the corner. He took the three, and as he does so many times, he did a quick look away to a fan because he was so confident in the shot. Recently we’ve seen some turnaround TD throws in the NFL, and the inspiration all comes from Curry.
Here is the link from yesterday: LINK
If you want the wildest 1:44 you will see today, watch this compilation of how sick this guy is. How do you even think to look away once you take the three? When you’re watching this don’t watch the ball, watch Steph take the shot, and just keep watching him. The fact that he has a compilation of this is absolutely silly!

Quick Hitters
🏀 Are the LA Clippers all the way back?! They set a franchise record with a 59-point victory over the Brooklyn Nets! They won by 59, and the game was a tie-ball game after the first quarter! Kawhi Leonard dropped 23 points and James Harden added on 21 points of his own! The Clippers are the 5th seed in the West and they seem to be in the same spot they are every year. In the mix but not a contender. But maybe that’s exactly where they want to be. Right in the thick of things!
🏈 More news out of LA, but we’re heading to the gridiron. LA Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh is set to undergo heart and hip surgery this offseason. If you saw any Chargers games down the stretch, you saw Harbaugh limping across the sideline. He was able to turn the Chargers into a playoff team in his first year with the team. The league is a more energetic league with him in it, hoping for the best.
🏀 Jalen Brunson drops 38 and Josh Hart has a triple-double in a 125-119, OT Win over the Philadelphia 76ers! They probably shouldn’t have been brought to OT, but the Knicks got the win and remain the 3-seed in the East! Things are coming together in NY!
