Interesting article about Steph:

Inside the secret skill that fuels Stephen Curry's record-breaking career

As the ball changes hands at the top of the key, Curry, in the right corner, does something counterintuitive, something he hasn't done the entire possession. He stands still. Curry's second wind comes from his ability to rapidly lower his heart rate during short breaks, even in the middle of games. It's something he trains his body to do. Once he's out of breath at the end of most workouts, Curry lies on his back, and Payne, his trainer, places sandbag weights below his rib cage in order to overload, and train, Curry's diaphragm.

Through conditioning and breathing techniques like this, Curry can often coax his heart rate below 80 during one 90-second timeout. But here, when he goes flat-footed, straightens his back and flops his hands at his side as if to signal, I'm done, I give up, it's mostly a decoy. And it works. Because at this point, after chasing Curry nonstop all over the court, most defenders are begging for even a hint at a break. Do you ever stop? They often whisper to Curry. It's the best compliment he can get from an opponent, Curry says, even better than praise for his shooting. You're wearing me out. Stand still for a f---ing second.

The Sixers are food with Tatum in the lineup. Not impressed with that team at all.

Austin Carr sounds like the creator of s song

 

[who_better_than_me]

nobody conspired against him. i remember when he was in charlotte. dude was unbearable

wood took it on himself to change his approach up dramatically

How was he unbearable? I be wondering about these so called red flags I keep hearing about him in the pass

 

[The G.O.D II]

this same organization put up with headcases of all kinds from hibbert to spencer hawes and the only people that got tossed in the bushes like that in charlotte were ben gordon (actually crazy), tyrus thomas (silas beat his ass), pj hairston (fighting kids at the ymca), jeff taylor (was the first guy to catch that new domestic violence rule in the nba), dwight (mitch sends his regards).

the thing with wood is that he was told what he had to do to stick around and he just didn't want to. and shyt, he knows the organization was right too because he wanted to come back here
