Stephen Curry's Mouthguard Routine Makes Special Appearance in 'NBA 2K16'
Stephen Curry's mouthguard routine has secured its place in history thanks to 2K Games.
The Golden State Warriors point guard shared the animation of his free-throw routine, featured in NBA 2K16, on Instagram on Friday—and the gaming studio nailed it.
The odd routine certainly earned the nod, as the 2014-15 MVP evidently shoots better when chewing on his mouthpiece. According to a review of Curry's 337 regular-season free-throw attempts last season by Ben Cohen of the Wall Street Journal, he shot 89.5 percent with his mouthguard "visibly in his mouth" but 92.5 percent when it was out.
At that point, it could be argued as apples and oranges. But you get the point.
