If you don't follow Morris Almond on Twitter, you're missing the novel/essay he's writing about Steph Curry:

you guys do realize there's a raging sociopath underneath the cuddly adolescent exterior of Stephen Curry basking in all this praise lmaooo

Steph Curry's game is literally witnessing bipolar impulsivity in flight, unchecked. pull up 30 footers on a whim. a thing to behold.

— Morris Almond (@FreeMoAlmond) May 18, 2015

every time Steph Curry flings some whimsical left-handed behind-the-back pass, the raging sociopath hiding in him winks at me lmaooo

— Morris Almond (@FreeMoAlmond) May 20, 2015

sociopathy in its most adorable form. Riley illustrating precisely what's going on behind dad's dreamy green eyes. https://t.co/jgihgeiLCt

even Dell knows his boy didn't inherit MVP ability from his spot-up shooter extraordinaire DNA lol. Steph's virtuosity is all 100% Sonya.

— Morris Almond (@FreeMoAlmond) May 20, 2015

the forces in Sonya-level beauty have left civilizations in ruins. Dell tamed it, mated with it, then taught it proper jump shot mechanics.

had Sonya Curry been seeded up and abandoned by a local VA hustler instead of Dell, she would've given us Chris Brown instead of Steph.

how do you game plan against a beige sociopath who flings pre-game hail mary's from the entry tunnel like it's perfectly normal lmao.

— Morris Almond (@FreeMoAlmond) May 22, 2015

because his transcendent performance is being discredited by a sociopath with disarming green eyes and charm lmao https://t.co/SrKlWa4OUN

He previously posted a picture of the welcome basket he got at the Marriott, but deleted it soon after along with several videos including the one in which he talked about this being his first trip out of the U.S.

Christapher Johnson, meanwhile, has graduated at some point in the recent or distant past. (H/T @5kl)
