He is a supernova now, a shooter so skilled that players scramble to locate him before he crosses half court. We've learned these bombs are not one-time dalliances. Steph Curry has been practicing them since he was a small boy, expanding his range through the tedious exercise of repetition. "You don't just learn to shoot like that on a whim,'' he says.
Curry can't rely on an expansive wingspan like Anthony Davis', or comic book Avengers muscles like LeBron's. He's the everyman superstar, one who resembles the postal carrier who stuffs annoying flyers in your mailbox, the neighbor who grills burgers on his back deck, the guys you ran pickup with at the YMCA last Saturday.
