SAN FRANCISCO — Before every game, Brandin Podziemski walks across the halfcourt line, forwards and backwards, juggling three tennis balls.
Podziemski got the trick from Steph Curry’s trainer, Brandon Payne, over the summer, to try to hone his hand-eye coordination and body motor function. He thinks it has helped him connect his mind and body.
He’s done it through a brutal shooting slump to start the year, through the injury that sidelined him for the longest time of his life, and now as he turns the corner.
