I have keratoconus too and usually when you have that you cant get corrective surgery like lasik because the way your cornea will continue to degenerate is too unpredictable, plus the cornea is already too thin and shaving some of it off prolly wont help anything anyway

I had to just get a transplant, but my vision was waaaay worse than his

Maybe Lonzo and Markelle also need contacts?

I mean, the guy has played 610 less games than Allen and 709 less games than Miller, and yet he is only 500 3PT FG made behind Allen and 91 behind Miller?

Hands down the best shooter this league has ever seen.

this is such a story. all season the curry stories have been dumb.

halfway through the season, all these articles about how curry is ACTUALLy more important than KD lol. so they support it with all their stats and complicated logic. What's so wrong with KD being the most valuable player there? hmmm.....
there aint NO way a little shorty is going to be more valuable than a mobile, lanky 7-foot freak like KD...when they both are practically the same with shooting ability.

NOw... the news of Curry and the contacts. So amazing!! You mean all this time, he was doing it and he couldn't even see???!!! wth! he must be a wizard. He might be able to just shoot spotups from half court now. truly amazing.

Curry is an IDIOT if he needs a prescription and wasn't using it. You guys realize he has like 50 of the best doctors servicing him at all times. Well, most likely, he is not an idiot and this story is a bunch of hogwash. maybe his prescription is very slight or something. who knows.

this is like that video showing curry making like 70 threes in a row. What nobody mentions...like a lot of players, not even pros, can do that also. First, the video doesn't even show the whole thing, but even if it did big whoop. it's not unbelievable or that rare. Arenas just posted a video where he made 96/100 and you can watch every single one. Now that is probably the best anyone will be able to do.

The problem is quite obvious.

You discounted Curry. You highlighted the ability to see something on video to believe it. You discounted the importance of stats.

This is all certified Superboy. However, you did not call Lebron an average player or attribute a superstar's success entirely to bad refereeing.

Therefore, we don't believe you actually wrote the post.
