Why did I get the feel of an animal expert explaining a cheetas unbelievable speed and leaping abilities the way he explained it😂😂😂

The difference: a cheetah is, when watched by other cheetahs, something completely normal...

[@mateenquwi3975]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kanyeeast7287]

Nice analogy

[@MrBubblecake]

Zett76 that’s because humans aren’t Spartans and don’t systematically weed out the weak from their bloodlines the way animals are forced to in the wild. In the wild the weak don’t survive so seeing an animal with incredible athleticism isn’t out of the ordinary for another animal. This spectrum is amplified even more when you consider we live in America, a country that glorifies obesity and laziness, making the people with insane athletic ability that much more unique.

[@DaCoachcancoach]

His off ball movement is definitely exceptional but to me What makes curry so great is that he’s a selfless player and still scores in abundance.

[@ezraprzytyk]

"*one of* the most prolific shooters in NBA history" That's disrespectful. He's the undisputed greatest shooter no competition.

[@erekwilliams7532]

To say Stephen Curry is a "prolific" shooter, just means he shoots a lot. A whole lot of great shooters shot a lot. They weren't talking about how well he shoots. "Present in large numbers or quantities; plentiful." That is the definition of prolific.

[@shotzbygriff]

Top ten greatest player of all time

[@ranabhaipersaud8886]

He isn’t the absolute best shooter of all time, more like of his generation for now, but he is the most accurate from any distance and definitely my favorite, but if he brings up his shot percentage by an average of 14%, we are taking greatest shooter in the history of the game!!!

Step curry is video game period!!!

[@TrulyExeceptionalSales]

I think another reason why he is so good at shooting 3 pointers. I could be wrong, but I think his forehead is slightly larger than most people's, with that being said, I think that having more frontal lobe capacity, that he is able to lock the rim in his mind prior to the shot and keep it lock in his mind all the way through the shot process until that ball goes in the hoop.

Thought you were gonna tell us about his shooting accuracy. We saw Steph shoot 105 threes in a row, that has nothing to do with movement because it was from the same corner.
