It’s 11:15 a.m., and Sinet An is in her living room shooting an invisible basketball. She dips the ball down, into her stomach. Then her left arm pumps up — right hand cupping the ball — and at the top of her shot, her wrist snaps forward with a touch of Steph Curry grace.

 

Dip. Pump. Snap. Dip. Pump. Snap. Sinet’s spent the last year mastering her stroke, and it shows. “If you’re not sure, watch Sinet,” coach Joe Higgins tells the rest of the team. “It is perfect.” Sinet, 33, lives in Chuuok village, about an hour west of Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh.
