Stephen Curry



     So every once in a while, i will do a small biography on some of my favorite players in the NBA. Today i have chosen Stephen Curry, the 6"3 gaurd of the Golden State Warriors. He was Born in Akron, Ohio, and played college ball at Davidson. His Dad, Dell Curry, and his mom, Sonya Curry, were both professional athletes. His mom played volleyball, while his dad played basketball. He was a great athlete at Davidson, and he set many scoring records there. He also set the record for the most 3 pointers in 1 season of NCAA. He averaged over 20 points in each of the 3 years that he stayed at Davidson.

     In June of 2009, Stephen Curry was selected by the Warriors as the 7th draft pick into the NBA. He had a slow start in the NBA, but after Coach Don Nelson realized his talent, he finally started playing Steph more. Steph began to blow up in stats after the first stretch of the season, and average 17 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds a game. He ended his freshman season with a great finish and had 2 triple doubles. With the trades made this summer, Stephen Curry seems like he will have more opportunites to make great plays. Right now, he has made one of the twelve spots on Team USA. Although he doesn't get much playing time, he still contributes.I look forward to seeing him this season because he is a spectacular player, and he makes the game very exciting for fans like me. I expect a big season out of him, as i watch him begin to develop a very solid game.

  1. I think that Stephen Curry contributes a lot more now. He's a major player for the Warriors, along with Monte Ellis. In some ways, Stephen Curry is more important that Monte is to the Warriors. Monte may get more minutes and points, but Stephen Curry needs to there if Monte has an off night or gets injured. That's just what I think.

  2. I think Stephen Curry is a great addition to the Warriors and that after his huge game yesterday, despite the loss, he still plays a major role in the Warriors playoff hopes. Even though he isnt their number 1 option, he still plays a big role to the Warriors.
