Stephen Curry: I still feel like I'm in the prime of my career

Stephen Curry: I was undersized, kind of a scrawny, skinny kid on every team I played, even going through the middle school and high school ranks and starting, like, recruiting, quickly found out that those big-time schools weren’t going to knock on my door and offer you scholarship offers. And I had to really try to find out what my identity was, proving people wrong, in a sense. I tried to channel that. -via PBS / July 26, 2023

Turns out it was a bit of a slow day. According to assistant coach Bruce Fraser, who’s been Curry’s shooting chaperone for several years, the after-practice session usually lasts 300 to 500 attempts. “That’s him. He’s a worker,” Fraser told Heavy Sports recently. “It used to even be more, but we’ve lessened it as the years have gone on, especially with the long playoff runs. It’s not crazy if you just watch the workout, because it’s pretty efficient. And he always finishes with 100 3s at the end of the 300-500.” -via Heavy.com / July 26, 2023

As for how many treys Curry will get up overall in the workout, “That’s dependent on what we decide to do that day. I would say he’s probably getting up a minimum of 200 3s each day,” Fraser said. “And then the rest could be whatever he wants — if it’s off a dribble or pick and roll or whatever.” -via Heavy.com / July 26, 2023
