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.

It was only possible because Kawhi has so much spin on his shot, noticeably more than the average player (strong wrists ๐Ÿ’ช)
