Seth Curry All 113 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Three-ilation)
The Taco Bell drive-thru was empty at three in the morning. A hoodie-wearing man rode his bicycle down the empty lane until he got to the speaker. “Uhhhh,” Seth Curry said, starting his order very indecisively. All he knew was that he had stayed up too late grinding for VC for his NBA 2K MyPlayer…
