Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry has wowed NBA fans across the world with his unbelievable three-point shooting. As the leader of the Dubs, Curry has single-handedly changed the way we play basketball and ushered in the small ball era. His rivalry with LeBron James is only comparable to the Larry Bird-Magic Johnson rivalry of the 1980s. Let’s take a look at the career of one of the greatest point guards of all time.
Steph Curry was born into a basketball family. His dad, Dell Curry, enjoyed a 16-year NBA career and won the 1994 Sixth Man of the Year award with the Charlotte Hornets. His younger brother, Seth Curry, has been in the league since 2013 and is a great player in his own right.
The Currys moved around a lot because of Dell’s NBA career. But Steph calls Charlotte, North Carolina home. Steph balled at Charlotte Christian School and was the team’s leader during a successful run in its basketball program’s history. Although he wasn’t heavily recruited because of his size and small frame, he committed to Davidson College to play basketball.
