A labor of love: every angle I could find, plus audio commentary from that night by Klay, Dray, Andre, KD, Russ, Shaun, Coach Donovan, and of course Steph.
The right wording and grammar of the Spanish is as follows:
Golden State prefiere no pedir el tiempo. Tiro de Curry de tres. ¡Y lo metió! ¡Y lo metió! ¡Y lo metió! ¿Cómo puede ser? ¡Stephen Curry!
Meaning. Golden State prefers not to take a timeout. Curry's shooting a three. And he put it in! And he put it in! And he put it in! How could this be? Stephen Curry!
May the ¡Y lo metió! could have a better translation, but it refers to the fact that he put the ball through the hoop.
To people who don’t know basketball, to give them an idea, I usually say that “Curry won’t shoot and score from the parking lot, just because the stands are in the way.”
French is " Eh, Ils vont jouer, le shot de la victoire pour Curry, il est loin, et il est dedans ! Il est dedans !"
The B guy requiring to lock up Curry is Jacques Monclar, former French player and coach (I think he played in the LA '84 Olympics) turned announcer with his legendary rocky voice.
I remember another outburst with the wild Ginobili dunk on Bosh in the Finals, something like "he's going back at it, the animal" right before the poster :
Eric: one of my favorite lines is from Hunter S. Thompson, father of gonzo journalism - "When the going turns weird, the weird turn pro". You have turned pro and then some with everything that you have done to both entertain and keep people connected during these weird COVID days. Strong work...
Not a native speaker, but here's the Russian:
И теперь Стеф Карри будет решать… Три очка… Точно! Вот это да! Стеф Кари! Что сегодня сотворил, Стеф Кари, а?
And now Steph Curry's going to decide it. Three pointer... Bingo! Wow!!! Steph Curry!!! What have you created today, Steph Curry, eh?
(the verb in the last part is only used for the creation of miraculous things, like masterpieces, the Earth in 7 days, etc.)

in Cantonese
佢哋仲有個timeout，不過唔打算用。Curry喺外圍…砰！ 砰！哇Curry入咗球世界波！
That Russian announcer.....

I’m not exaggerating, am I?

Italian: “Golden State controlla il rimbalzo, Curry non chiede il timeout... NOOOOOO, COMEEEEEE, anche questo, no, no, no. Sei decimi!!
“Golden State gets the rebound, Curry doesn’t ask timeout... NOOOOOO, HOWWWWW, this one too, no, no, no. Six tenths!”
Plus in the follow up, that here is cut, one speaker says: “let’s shut up. We can’t but shut up.” and the other answers: “But we can laugh, can’t we?”
Thanks for this, you love to see it!

Sorry if I might seem irreverent, but the exquisite technical gesture, and the supporters going nuts, reminded me of this:

It was ‘99, and I was one of the 75000 going nuts.
