You look at somebody like Steph Curry and you see this guy, you know, shoot the ball from almost half court and he turns, he doesn't even look, he turns around and just waves because he knows it's in already and there's swish and the crowd goes crazy. And people look at that and go, he's unbelievable. He is, he's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. He's the greatest 3-point shooter in history. There's no one like him. But what they don't pay attention to is that isn't like a little gift, right? He shoots 500 shots every single day. Never less than that, 7 days a week for more than 15 years. His 15-year professional career, he's been doing it since before he was in college. His dad really trained him. So think of that, 3,500 shots a week, 168,000 shots in a year, 2.52 million shots in his 15-year, you know, NBA career. So he can make 3,600 shots, not even 1/10 of 1%. I tell people, you get rewarded in public for what you practice in private.
