The shot was iconic in itself, but it was Mike Breen\u2019s reaction that cemented it in NBA history:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThey do have a timeout, decide not to use it&#8230; Curry from way downtown&#8230; BANG! BANG!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This was Mike Breen\u2019s first \u2018double bang.\u2019 The phrase, which has been used by Breen only ten times in his announcing career, instantly became just as iconic as the shot that started it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For the anniversary of the first double bang, the Warriors recreated the call from memory. I think Gui Santos\u2019 impression is my favorite, especially because he was 13 years old with NBA dreams at the time of the shot, just like I was \u2014 except my NBA dreams never panned out, because I am 5\u20195\u201d with two busted knees. This shot did impact me, though, and it was one of the moments I remember from watching basketball as a teenager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"10 years ago this week, Steph Curry hit a game-winning three against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
