The Golden State Warriors enjoyed a lot of success during the 2010s, thanks to the rise of Stephen Curry.
Curry changed the way that the game of basketball is played in the modern era with his insane shooting from the three-point line.
Curry’s rise to stardom led to many teams in the NBA trying to find that X-factor in terms of a player who can dominate the game with three-point shooting.
Well, the Sacramento Kings have seemingly found that player in Keegan Murray.
Upon seeing Murray’s impressive performance from downtown against the Utah Jazz, Curry couldn’t help but heap huge praise on the 23-year-old via the NBA’s official Twitter handle.
“12/13 [from 3] is nuts…he’s getting ’em up,” Curry said about Murray’s performance.

Murray finished the game with 47 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals against the Utah Jazz.
Murray’s scoring outburst included a 12-15 showing from the three-point line.
Although he finished the game with the above-mentioned stat line, at one point during the game, he was 12-13 from the three-point line.
Thanks to Murray’s explosion from the three-point line, the Kings were able to register a 125-104 win over the Jazz.
Following the impressive victory, the Kings are now the fifth seed in the Western Conference.
They flaunt a solid 15-9 record and are currently one of the favorites to make a deep playoff run in the 2023-24 NBA season.
If Murray can keep up his lights-out shooting from downtown, it will make things easier for the Kings, who are in search of an NBA Championship this season.
