NBA fans are wildly reacting to the Hornets fan who recently made an incredible half-court shot in the matchup against the 76ers. The fan wowed everyone by making the rare shot, immediately becoming a winner of $1000.
Fans are not just having pure admiration for the fan but also had jokes since the guy seemed to be a major Dell Curry fan. Dell played for the Hornets, creating a legacy with the team before creating another legacy with his son, Steph Curry.
“This Hornets fan drilled the half-court shot…Then showed everyone he was repping Dell Curry’s #30 (fire emoji)” NBA official tweeted, sharing a video clip of the superb shot.

“This doesn’t happen often. We have too many questions! Regardless, Hornets got to entertain the fans and show respect to the legend!” one more fan said.
“Hornets fan nails the half-court shot, then flexes Dell Curry’s #30 jersey.” another fan remarked.
It looks like the fan emerged the hero of the night with replays of the video going viral on social media. The Hornets managed to win the matchup, with Brandon Miller leading the team with thirty on the board.
NBA Fans Continue To Be In Awe Of Fan Making Half-court Shot
NBA fans clearly can’t hold back with the talented fan making everyone’s night. It was not only that the Hornets succeeded against Philadelphia, but mainly the fan making the near-impossible dunk.
“Vibrant Spectrum Center vibes! Hornets ready to soar tonight. (basketball emoji) #CharlotteHornets” one fan said.
“Channeled his inner Dell (face with look of triumph)” one more fan added.
“Even the fans are shooting like 2017 warriors lmao,” another fan said.
Many other fans called out that many spectators have been making half-court shots pretty commonly for quite some time. Some felt that there has to be a trick to make the whole thing easy and simple.
Meanwhile, Dell Curry’s jersey number was retired recently by the Hornets for the incredible accomplishments he made with the team. For this, the Hornets received some trolling. Still, many fans called Dell the best sixth man of the team during his time. Nevertheless, to date, Dell’s biggest accomplishment is definitely with his son, Steph.
