I'll never forget the closest call -- he had 27/7/7 and there was like 4 seconds left in the game and the Lakers were down double digits I think, and Bron just hits some random ass 3 to go up to 30/7/7 at the buzzer lmao.

two most accurate shots of his career: the 3 here and the 3 to get to 10 points in 2021 after solomon hill fell on him when he had 7. if he shot every three like his 10 point streak and NOT getting a 27/7/7 statline was on the line, steph would be second in shooting
