The days passed, and Duncan grew increasingly concerned at his body’s strange response to his solitary practices. After much experimentation, he had precisely pinpointed the problem: if his two feet were planted behind the three-point line, his shooting arm would begin to spasm. Anywhere else on the court, he could shoot with no difficulty. If…
