As a matter of fact, the NBA 3-point line is 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a distance between 30 and 35 feet, Curry shoots approximately 54 percent while the rest of the league shoots around 22 percent from that same distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview, Curry talked about the confidence that the Warriors and he, in particular, have even when faced with losing the 2019 NBA Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CURRY:<em> \u201cI don\u2019t listen much to any of what anybody says about what we [the Golden State Warriors] can or cannot do or what I can do personally. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s stubbornness or ultimate self-confidence but it\u2019s just the fact that I know who I\u2019m rolling with in that locker room, we just got believe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe, it\u2019s a little bit of both\u2026 Stubbornness meaning you do not get distracted by outside noise and confidence that you believe in your ability to perform to the best of your abilities across a wide range of competitive circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ultimate_confidence_is_a_combination_of\"><\/span>Ultimate confidence is a combination of:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stubbornness or focus<\/strong> &#8211; Focusing on the things you can control and not the opinions of others or the myriad of other uncontrollable distractions that can inundate your mind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Belief in your ability to perform<\/strong> \u2013 Having an unshakeable belief in your ability to produce in competition, even if those things have not been accomplished before.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimate <strong>confidence<\/strong> is the mental skill that has helped produce unmatched results for Curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the ways Curry developed confidence in his ability to make 3-point shots from well beyond the 3-point arc is that he practiced shooting thousands of shots from that distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bullet-Proof_Confidence\"><\/span>Bullet-Proof Confidence:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Confidence must come from within yourself and not from others.
