On Tuesday night, Luka Dončić and Stephen Curry played a crucial game that might have a significant impact on the Western Conference playoff standings.

However, the two superstars engaged in a friendly competition from the half-court line before to the thrilling action between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks on the court. Curry and Dončić exchanged half-court shots while warming up toward their respective baskets, displaying smiles for the cameras. Each player missed a shot before Curry seemed to swoosh out the opposition.

Looks like Dončić tried to playfully contest the shot despite the made basket, pointing to an area on the floor as if to suggest that Curry had his toe beyond the line.

Curry and Dončić Both Have Experience Putting on a Show Before Games

Both stars have some wild trick shots in their arsenals

In addition to being great athletes, Curry and Dončić are two of the best showmen in the NBA today, and that is true of their performance both in games and before them. Both players have made a habit of delighting fans with impressive pregame displays of shooting ability.

On Sunday, before a game against the Houston Rockets, Dončić stole the show by nailing a shot off the scoreboard at the Toyota Center. Even on the road, fans were left in awe.
