Night in and night out, Stephen Curry makes so many utterly insane and seemingly impossible shots, it's as if he has been attempting those types of jumpers when no one is watching. As the Mercury News' Tim Kawakami found out, this is absolutely true. In his piece on Talking Points, Kawakami reveals the 17-minute warm-up session that Curry went through with assistant Bruce Fraser 90 minutes before Monday night's game against the Washington Wizards.
Curry started off by dribbling with two basketballs, which he sums up as "just get warm, get your hands kind of used to the ball.” The next part of the warm-up involves "flip shots and runners, just to work on your touch." Eventually, Steph finds himself taking jumpers from beyond the arc from five different spots.
On this night, when the 15-minute session came to an end, Curry missed only 62 of 182 total shots from the field and way, way, waaaaay back. Now, what do we mean by "way, way, waaaay back"?
