NBA 熱話!球迷揭開 Stephen Curry 小動作之謎
準確答案充滿熱誠,得到 Curry 肯定(原來連 Curry 媽媽都看不過眼!)


2015 年 8 月,Curry 在《Jimmy Kimmel Live!》節目上經已解釋了,自從中學打球被其他球員手肘打爆嘴唇後,便一直戴護齒套作賽,隨後 Jimmy Kimmel 只以 “Smoking A Banana” 輕輕帶過 Curry 狂咬護齒套的習慣,Curry 亦只補充小動作可以排解緊張情緒。然而,不論 Haters 或死忠都繼續表示討厭這小動作,當中甚至包括 Curry 媽媽。

I’ve given up, I’ve made my peace with it. It’s never going to change. He still bites his fingernails. He flicks his nose, from all his allergies. And the mouth guard.
直到最近,一位 Curry 死忠從 Curry 每場賽事收集數據,推斷他把護齒套咬在嘴角而非乖乖套著牙齒,可提高罰球準繩 2%,達可怕的 90.88%!Curry 事後訪問回應,指自己相信該死忠的判斷,此個數據並未反映心神穩定的 Curry 的整體表現,證明這小動作的影響力之大,亦可預期 Curry 不會順應民意,等如 Michael Jordan 伸舌頭、LeBron James 灑鎂粉。

Some fan studied it. He said I shoot 2% better on free throws with it out. And I think he’s right. Because when I shoot a free throw with it in, I always go, Whoa, that’s weird. It’s where it’s supposed to be.
