Recently, Dell Curry, father of superstar Stephen Curry, shared that he once prevented the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry from getting together.
Stephen Curry is still the star carrying the team for the Golden State Warriors during the 2019 NBA Playoffs when Keivn Durant was injured. Over the past 5 years, Stephen Curry is the person who has changed the entire NBA, making an important contribution to creating a new style of shooting with extremely accurate 3-point shots. However, few people know that Stephen Curry’s father, Dell Curry, previously opposed the Warriors selecting his son in the 2009 NBA Draft.
Recently, Dell Curry himself shared his feelings at that time. This former NBA player thinks his son’s skills will be suitable for another team, not the Golden State Warriors. In 2009, the Warriors were not really a well-known team in the NBA.
Even at that time, Sonya Curry, Stephen Curry’s mother, did not know which city the Golden State Warriors were and did not want her son to play too far from his hometown of Charlotte. Curry’s father also talked directly with Coach Don Nelson of the Warriors that year to convince him not to select Stephen Curry in the 2009 NBA Draft. Luckily, in the end, Stephen Curry still went home with the Golden State Warriors and achieved the position. mind like today.
After the first few years of experiencing ankle injuries, Stephen Curry quickly put his name and the Golden State Warriors on the NBA map. He became one of the greatest 3-point shooters in NBA history, winning 3 championships and 2 MVP titles over the past 4 years.
Certainly, the person who regrets the most will be the Minnesota Timberwolves. This team is in need of a PG and has a higher pick than the Warriors. But they chose Johnny Flynn, who only played 163 games in the NBA.
