Before getting himself all set up, Curry told host <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/jimmy_kimmel\">Jimmy Kimmel<\/a><\/strong> that the video he shared of himself doing the same shot on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StephenCurry30\/status\/1241113944086872064\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>&nbsp;wasn&#8217;t as effortless as it appeared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was, I think, the 4th attempt,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;But as you know, with all these shows and in this content situation, I did it in the 4th attempt. I tried to redo it and it took like 100. So, I&#8217;ve got a big spectrum of attempts on that one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joking that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1058043\/score-relive-all-the-times-stephen-and-ayesha-curry-s-family-won-over-our-hearts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Golden State Warriors all-star<\/a> is at his best under pressure, Kimmel challenged Curry to do the shot again for Jimmy Kimmel Live viewers. Accepting his challenge, he said, &#8220;I&#8217;m actually dressed in my golf clothes, so I might as well.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"61.701030927835\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"15.670103092784\">\n<p>With his cup set up perfectly in the middle of his foyer, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1057842\/stephen-curry-s-hamilton-family-sing-along-will-make-your-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dad of three<\/a> positioned himself to hit his golf ball against his closed front door so it would land directly into the target. For his first shot, he swung the ball a little too far to the right. Trying again, the ball still missed the cup. &#8220;I&#8217;m getting my <strong>Tiger<\/strong> [<strong>Woods<\/strong>] on,&#8221; he said as he swung again. &#8220;Oh, that was it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Enthusiastically&nbsp;watching from home as Curry continued trying, Kimmel said, &#8220;I gotta tell you right now, I&#8217;m so excited because I haven&#8217;t seen sports in so long and I&#8217;m just enjoying watching this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"61.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"13\">\n<p>Finally on his 7th try, Curry sunk the cup. Jumping up and down and cheering, he turned to the camera and exclaimed, &#8220;That&#8217;s it! It&#8217;s in there! That&#8217;s it!&#8221; Then, he broke out into his victory dance.<\/p>\n<p>Before showing off his putting skills, the <em>Holy Moly<\/em> star admitted that he has been playing more golf than basketball these days while social distancing. In fact, he <em>just<\/em> got himself a proper basketball hoop.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"photo-txt-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"36\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-photo-text\" readability=\"12\">\n<p>&#8220;I have some pavers in my driveway and a makeshift basket that I assembled myself right when the quarantined happened, which is kind of crazy,&#8221; he told Kimmel. &#8220;I think, probably, most people assume that NBA players have a court or a hoop or something. I didn&#8217;t, but now I do. I can get shots up let&#8217;s put it that way. I can get shots up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Watch Curry nail his trick shot in the hilarious video above!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1152376\/stephen-curry-gives-fans-their-sports-fix-while-attempting-a-golf-trick-shot?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: E!
