per Steph Curry

I had missed that Curry recently got contact lenses, which is mentioned in the story... so he was making long distance 3s all these years without being able to see the rim clearly?!

I always get popcorn at a Mavs game, and it is pretty damn good

It's called muscle memory. You don't always have to see the rim to make a shot. Your muscles remember all the mechanics necessary to put the ball in through the hoop.

Once you've practiced from every inch on the floor like Curry has; you don't always rely on your eyes in order to actually make the shot.

The conversations will be uncomfortable, but we all have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable for progress to be made.

His vision probably isn't THAT bad before adding contacts and his vision has degraded over the years. It finally got to the point where he needed to wear contacts.

He's being the ball.
