lol

That Curry vid is 2 years old, and I could care less what he's doing, he's not as good as Durant.

Also, he's been practicing with his whole team. He organized it in LA. Don't think Steph was doin that either.

Looks like he's just having some fun. He'll be ready to go when the season starts.

He's not working on the move itself. He's working on getting his shot off of the dribble quicker and being able to get in a shooting motion quickly off the bounce.

Yep, it's an actual drill to help with footwork and balance.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

This is a coaching technique i believe.
When i was in school and playing coach would spin us around a few times and have us take a shot or take a dribble and then shot. I guess the idea is to.... simulate confusion i guess. Muscle memory, positioning, etc.
If you can spin a few times and then make a shot, then someone defending you wont be as big of a deal... i dunno. It was not until i started coaching that i realized many of the things the coaches taught us and even to this day i still cant figure out half the **** one coach was trying to instill in us.

I see two other people said this though...so whatever.

My brother used to do that drill on his team. It's not to use in a game.
