Check out this statistical breakdown of Stephen Curry's warmup routine
Stephen Curry's warmup routine is a spectacle unto itself. The Golden State Warriors superstar is the best shooter on the planet, and his ability to improvise with his pre-game shooting has fans on the edge of their seats before tip-off.
ESPN recently tracked Curry's pre-game shooting numbers before the Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics 105-103 in double-overtime on Friday night.
The breakdown, via ESPN Stats & Information:

One would expect the best shooter in NBA history to make more than 61.1 percent of his uncontested shots, and definitely more than 70.6 percent of his freebies from the charity stripe, but rest assured, Curry was simply having fun:

"The important disclaimer when looking at this shot chart is that he didn't shoot every shot like he would in a game as some shots were tricks he's working on. He went 4-for-14 on right-handed layups, but those misses were largely wild, high-arching shots put up so high not even Hassan Whiteside would have a chance to block it. It's no wonder he often hits similar shots in games against defenders like Whiteside."
