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 never hated, but disliked the corners, something about depth perception or something, much prefer wing or at top

Plus the backboard will never bail you out on a corner 3 unless the ball takes a crazy bounce

Like kawhi’s shot. I’ve never seen a ball bounce so much before going in.

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