Transcript
Steph Curry played with an eye condition. May problema pa pala sa mata. Yung greatest shooter of all time. So yung eye condition na yun nakaka-apekto sa ano niya, sa paningin niya. 2018 pa daw pala yun. Nakakaramdam siya ng nakikita niya. Blurred and distorted images. Sobrang. Nag-compensate na lang daw siya doon. So yun nga, after game nila, pinacheck na lang yung mata. And yun nga, nalaman na meron siyang condition na keratoconus. Ewan ko kung correct yung spelling ko. Kaya yun, contact lens. Grabe. Imagine. Hindi pa siya nag-contact lens. So yun, after ni Steph Curry, every six months nagpapacheck na ng mata. Kaya niya yung contact lens. So yun, all-in, via ESPN. Shout out. O, kailangan ko muna ng materials. So yun, para sa mata. So yun, full screen. See you next time. Steph Curry, the greatest shooter of all time.
