Stephen Curry on the Bay Area, His Curry 12s & Much More
From Antananarivo to Adelaide to Alexandria, they know the greatest shooter ever. They love him in China. They saw him go bonkers in France. They raised him in Charlotte, NC. And yet, only one place can claim to be the true witness to his Hall of Fame career: the Bay Area.
The sun was just setting over New York City when the late David Stern approached the microphone on June 25, 2009. Six players had already been selected in the NBA draft. Stern, the NBA commissioner at the time, had only said, “With the seventh pick…”
Curry rubbed both of his hands together as Stern spoke.
Then Stern said, “The Golden State Warriors…”
Curry’s nose, maybe involuntarily due to the mounting nerves, pointed down to meet his hands. His eyes stayed glued to the stage that Commissioner Stern stood on.
