Curry the Warrior

Steph Curry is quickly becoming, one of the best shooters in the NBA, if not THE best shooter.  Curry is not just a pure shooter, passer, or point guard. But someone who can do all of the above, and really excel at doing it.

Curry is basketball’s new 6-foot-3, 190-pound unstoppable force. “He’s lethal,” says Curry’s coach, Steve Kerr. “He’s mesmerizing,” says his teammate Klay Thompson. He’s the “best shooter I’ve ever seen,” says his president, Barack Obama.

Curry played college ball for Davidson. There, he was twice named Southern Conference Player of the Year and set the all-time scoring record for both Davidson and the Southern Conference. During his sophomore year, Curry also set the single-season NCAA record for three-pointers made.

He was quite the college player, as you can see.  But did anyone see the huge impact he has made on the NBA coming? i sure didn’t.

He was picked as the 7th overall pick, in the 2009 NBA Draft.  Curry holds the record for most 3’s made in a single season.  He actually beat his own previous record this year.

I actually had the privilege of meeting Steph and getting my picture made with him.  Although it was before his time in the NBA, it is still a cool thing to have, and something that i will keep for the rest of my life.
