Serena Williams' ex-coach in awe of Steph Curry after $240M-worth Warriors superstar's electrifying 56-point performance vs Orlando Magic

Serena Williams’ former coach Rick Macci was in awe of Stephen Curry’s display on Thursday night, where he delivered a breathtaking 56-point performance against the Orlando Magic. In that points tally, Curry hit his signature 12 three-pointers, including a jaw-dropping half-court shot on the sound of the end buzzer.

His electrifying display not only secured a 121-115 victory for the Golden State Warriors but also left fans, analysts, and fellow athletes in complete disbelief of his unparalleled shooting prowess.

The $240 million-worth Steph Curry (as per Celebrity Networth) once again proved why he is regarded as a generational talent, courtesy of his ability to hit three-pointers at will. His skills were even on display in America’s gold medal triumph at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Curry single-handedly clutched the game against France in the finals, where he scored 24 points, all of which came through three-pointers.

Meanwhile, Curry’s latest magic performance against Orlando prompted renowned tennis coach Rick Macci to take his admiration for the basketball legend to X (formerly known as Twitter). He wrote couplets for his performance:

“Alcaraz has all the SHOTS that make you Hurry. But the best SHOT ever is a goat named Stephen Curry.”

Not able to sustain his emotions in one couplet, he posted another in the span of 14 minutes, writing:

“Many athletes with a great stroke. But last night was no joke. Eye-popping performance for the Folk. A hoops court for all to soak. The best Stroke in any sport just Spoke.”

The 70-year-old coach drew comparisons with Carlos Alcaraz, underscoring that Curry’s greatness transcends all sports. At the age of 36, he clocked his fourth-highest scoring game of his career and tied with the second-most successful three-pointers. The game also marked the Warriors’ fifth consecutive win, and the team is currently positioned seventh in the Western Conference points table.
