Why is the corner 3 considered as the easiest one? (alien.top)

I always struggled with the corner shots because I have less of a spacial reference with the side of the backboard facing me. Shooting from the top of the key should be much easier, no? I always had the most success with the 45 degree angle one, right between the key and the corner. Maybe that's just me though.

I had a deadly shot from the top of the key, but the corner is easiest in NBA because it’s literally closer and you only have to worry about one defender (usually) rotating out. It’s an easy shot to practice because you can create the game settings simply and there’s no thinking involved. Catch and shoot.
