in pictures and screenshots of an nba game that i capture when i pause the game on my computer, his eyes never seem to be pointing in the same direction
he also rarely looks up when he doesnt have to, and im sure he has complained about depth perception on more than one occasion
so does it affect him at all?

come on, he's dropped 60 point before, so i don't think it does affect him that much.

Pretty sure he can see fine. Just a lazy eye. A really lazy eye.

I'm pretty sure it's not a problem at all, if you've seen him play you'd know he has exceptional court vision.... so I doubt his vision is a problem.

It helps him see the entire court......obviously dude is a great baller WHEN he is healthy.

Not too bad.
Nash has the same kind of eye 'impairment' and he has one of the best court vision in the league.

i mean in those pics, his eyes arnt even pointing in the same direction, so while it may grant him a greater field of view
wouldnt it also lead him to see 2 of the rim at certain times
i mean, being in the nba doesnt automatically qualify you for perfect vision, Lebron had to get Lasik and Terrence Williams has pretty ****ty vision
also, what exactly do you mean he has a lazy eye, (an outward eye turn, droopy eyelids, bad vision in one eye, or what?)

It means that one eye is a bit slow when you look side to side, I don't think it affects the vision though, just the way your eyes appear.

so he might see fine from each individual eye but when he uses them together, its bound to cause him to struggle to compare the 2 images because they're so far apart

Probably, his brain can correct the information coming from his eyes. Just like our brain flips our vision.

huh?
The image we see is flipped because of the convex lense in our eyes. Upon hitting the retina, it goes to your brain throught the optic nerves.

do you mean you have amblyopia or you just have an eye drift to the outside (or inside?)

Tmac has also complained about depth perception at Key Arena, his favorite activity is sleeping (which it should be because it is hard for lazy eyed people like myself to stay alert all the time)
and he also stares downward at the floor because looking up when unneccesary might give him headaches

I don't think it really affects his play. I mean, if the guy gets in and does his thing night in and night out, then the eye mustn't really be a factor.

is it because he is so good that it doesnt affected him, but it will affect someone of lesser skill
or does it not affect performance regardless?
