Stephen Curry, eat your heart out. Cairns Taipans import Torrey Craig has made an unbelievable half-court shot that might even raise the eyebrows of the NBA's reigning MVP.

Craig lit up the Cairns Convention Centre with a crazy basket in the Taipans' NBL win over the New Zealand Breakers.

A late shot-clock violation by the Breakers gave the Taipans an inbounds pass under their own hoop with 0.8 of a second left in the first quarter.

Forward Mark Worthington heaved the ball down the floor to import Craig, who leapt in the air, caught the ball and banked in a 45-foot shot all in one motion.

The basket was a vital boost for the Taipans as it came after a very poor period for the hosts and cut the quarter-time deficit to eight points.

And it may have been the difference in the game as third-last Cairns won 90-87.
