Some highlights really are too good to be true.
This ridiculous Steph Curry assist from Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves falls into that category.

Props to Curry for duping both the Wolves and the officials with a sleight-of-hand double-dribble so quick and well-disguised that its illegality wasn't plain in real time.
Upon review, the referees recognized their negligence, though they still tipped their caps to Curry.
An incredible pass, but we missed that one – it’s a double dribble. https://t.co/oKM9KGW5nB
