Arrr, me hearties! Methinks the brave Steph Curry of Golden State Warriors be claimin' that had he ventured into the realm of major college basketball, his success would've been naught. Aye, a humble pirate he be, doubting the bounty that awaits him in that treacherous sea.
In a recent interview on the show "Hot Ones," Stephen Curry, the famous NBA player, credited his success to his time at Davidson College. Despite being passed over by bigger basketball schools, Curry attended Davidson and led the Wildcats to an impressive Elite Eight berth in 2008. Curry claimed that his current style of play was developed under the coaching of Bob McKillop at Davidson. He believes that if he had attended a bigger school like Duke or Virginia Tech, he may have spent his freshman year riding the bench and not gaining the necessary experience to become the player he is today. Curry emphasized the importance of finding the best fit for oneself instead of chasing the prestige of playing in a power conference. He mentioned other successful NBA players who attended mid-major colleges and have found success. Curry was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2009, and he has since become a four-time NBA champion, a two-time MVP, and the NBA's all-time leading three-point shooter. The upcoming 2023-24 NBA season will mark his 15th season in the league. The Warriors had a difficult year in 2022-23, facing challenges such as teammate Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole during training camp. This incident disrupted the team's momentum, and they ended up losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Despite the challenges, Curry remains a highly regarded player in the league.
