Stephen Curry frequently lets himself into Golden State's practice facility late at night to work on his shooting and new moves. He is typically there for an hour and a half and doesn't leave until he makes at least 500 baskets.

Against New Orleans this week, Curry was 3-for-11 from the field until the game's final minute, when he rained home back-to-back three-pointers.

"That tells you about his confidence," Anthony Morrow said after the game. "That's why he's so good. That's why he was good at Davidson. That's why he has been good his whole life.

"He doesn't care how many shots he misses. He thinks he is going to make the next one. That confidence rubs off on the other guys and makes you forget he is a rookie."
