Stephen Curry’s pregame preparation is a spectacle unto himself. What, you didn’t think the reigning MVP was just lazily good, did you? Curry makes world domination look easy, but it’s actually really hard, and he puts in a lot of work so that he can destroy galaxies for 30-plus minutes every game. Here is some [...]
