5. it is not an accident in most cases, like with Stephen you need to work extra and set goals like being able to make 5 free throw swishes its a hard goal but eventually if you try everyday you could do it

1. His work ethic
2. He wanted everything he did in the drills to be perfect. And if he didn't do it perfectly, he would keep re-trying it until he got it perfect.
3. 5 free throws
4. He went to Davidson
5. Success definitely comes from hard work, not luck (maybe you get a little luck if you make some crazy type of shot sometimes like Steph usually does). But for the most part, you need to practice and practice whatever you want to succeed in whether it's a sport or a job. Luck won;t get you through a tryout for a team or an interview for a job, or even through your life. You need skills to do those things and the way you make those skills the best they can be is by practicing them through hard work
