This kid is awesome.


I have no idea why we didn't recruit him, but neither did anyone else. Davidson got a gem with this guy. I hope Davidson goes far in the tournament.

seconded.

3/24/2008 10:01:27 AM

VT didn't even recruit him.

3/24/2008 10:01:36 AM

i thought he was undersized but he is listed at 6'3" 185

so maybe he's 6'1 175

3/24/2008 10:02:05 AM

He was a PG in High School though, probably not a "great" one so he was skipped over by many.

GG Greenberg!

3/24/2008 10:06:35 AM

best thing to happen to the ncaa tournament

prolly cause i was such a huge del curry fan though

3/24/2008 10:08:22 AM

^^^he grew 4 inches in college.

3/24/2008 10:09:08 AM

I can't believe we beat Davidson

3/24/2008 10:10:25 AM

we were the last team who did

they haven't lost since

3/24/2008 10:12:45 AM

we beat 2 teams that are in the sweet 16

God how our program could have used a Curry right about now...

I am telling you guys we should have shooed in Bob McKillop while they were playing here and had Curry transfer with him and have 2 years to light up all the ACC teams that didn't give him a chance.

3/24/2008 10:31:30 AM

is it inevitable that davidson will get down by a fairly large amount to wisconsin, and will again have to rely on curry to get hot in the second half

3/24/2008 10:37:44 AM

did someone say... sconnie?

"North Carolina, 1-0, Davidson"

It's amazing that Carolina has only one game against the other remaining 15 teams in the tournament all year.

3/24/2008 10:53:24 AM

next season in my dreams would have gone like this:

PG - Lorenzo Brown commits
SG - Curry transfers to ncsu
G/F Fells sniper 3 shot improves
F Costner becomes a major inside/outside threat
F/C McCauley continues to improve
C Hickson stays
G Degand shows up playing like it's his senior year

3/24/2008 10:56:53 AM

except Curry would have to sit out a year

3/24/2008 10:58:04 AM

^^^Look at WSU and Stanford, a combined 2-8 against sweet 16 teams.... With 5 combined losses to UCLA. Stanford accounts for the two wins they share, both over WSU haha

3/24/2008 11:02:17 AM

Well that's just retarted.

VVV And it's spelled statered but pronounced stat ered.

[Edited on March 24, 2008 at 11:48 AM. Reason : hand on head]

3/24/2008 11:42:28 AM

Its pronounced Stefan

but spelled Stephen

3/24/2008 11:45:38 AM

It's Stephen (pronounced Stef-en).

lol

3/24/2008 11:45:45 AM

LOL ATTN: users named statered

[Edited on March 24, 2008 at 11:47 AM. Reason : .]

3/24/2008 11:47:04 AM

I always hated when people named Steven spelled it like Stephen

There's clearly a V sound in there

although Stephen Jackson and Steven Jackson have done alright for themselves

3/24/2008 11:52:54 AM

Curry actually wanted to go to VT and all Greenberg would offer was the chance for him to walk-on. Many other coaches looked at the kid's small frame and assumed he would not be able to handle the talent at the major conference level.

[Edited on March 24, 2008 at 11:56 AM. Reason : .]

3/24/2008 11:55:52 AM

I would have walked on at VT if I were him

He easily would have been starting and gotten a full scholarship after one year

and its not like his family couldn't have afforded the year of tuition

[Edited on March 24, 2008 at 11:57 AM. Reason : but I'm sure if he could start from scratch, he wouldn't change shit]

3/24/2008 11:56:34 AM

It was a slap in the face though...

3/24/2008 11:59:05 AM

^ Yeah, well he deserved it for spelling his name Stephen and pronouncing it Stefan. LOL.

3/24/2008 12:02:23 PM

not as bad as Brandan Wright

3/24/2008 12:04:54 PM

He supposedly has a younger brother who is a sophomore in high school is a better shooter then Stephan was at the same age.

[Edited on March 24, 2008 at 12:06 PM. Reason : .]

3/24/2008 12:06:08 PM

This kid is awesome.

Best shooter as a sophomore I have ever seen.

[Edited on March 24, 2008 at 12:08 PM. Reason : Talking about Stephen, don't know anything about his brother]

3/24/2008 12:07:24 PM

The only text-to-pronounced name translation that I still struggle with is Deron Williams

Every time I read it I still think De-RON for a second

I'm not sure why

3/24/2008 12:12:41 PM

^^^Signed LOI with Liberty per Scout.

3/24/2008 12:13:16 PM

Falwell's school?

3/24/2008 12:20:43 PM

Was I wrong about his brother being a high school sophomore? I forgot he was slated to go to Liberty already.

[Edited on March 24, 2008 at 12:35 PM. Reason : ^ yeah it's Falwell's School in Lynchberg, VA]

3/24/2008 12:35:05 PM

YEP. He goes to Charlotte Christian, just like Stephen did. I don't know much about the school or it's program though.

3/24/2008 12:35:55 PM

we've had season tickets to davidson for 6 years now and watching this kid is sick. glad he's finally getting some publicity because him and Richards have been dirty all year.

I definitely think davidson is the right fit for him. I doubt he could of ever got time at VT until maybe his junior/senior yr.

Curry's bro is pretty sick too from what I've heard. He is just as small as Stephen was tho.

3/24/2008 12:36:31 PM

3/24/2008 12:43:00 PM

I think this is a pic of Seth Curry. He is a senior btw.

I saw Johnny Thomas's school (Greensboro Day) beat them for the state championship Curry's senior year. Either he had an off game or improved a ton since then. He only had 13 points, and the defense was focusing on their center (Omar Carter, now a freshman at Charleston Southern).

3/24/2008 12:57:59 PM

After the game yesterday, Lefty Driesell came up to Stephen and had their picture taken. That picture should be in the Davidson Hall of Fame some day.

3/24/2008 2:20:30 PM

Curry made Rome is Burning

3/24/2008 3:35:56 PM

many moons ago, i "worked" at q-zar, a laser tag place that briefly operated in charlotte. i use quotation marks cause i was under age, so they paid me in free games. my sister actually worked there, and i knew most of the staff, so i had a pretty sweet gig.

anyway, dell curry came in and reserved the place for stephen's birthday. this was 10-12 years ago, so i guess he was around 8. dell wouldnt play laser tag, so he spent his time hangin out in the lobby and playin the occasional video game. well, we had a 3 point shootout arcade game that we'd rigged up to play for free, so i had become quite the pro at it. i challenged dell curry to a shootout on it and he laughed and agreed. i ended up winning by a couple shots. he told me we could try it again on a real goal, and we laughed, he gave me a high five of sorts, and that was that.

nothing22 told me i should tell that story.

oh, i also played against dell and stephen at the siskey ymca in mint hill, nc. there's another former hornet that plays there sometimes, but i cant for the life of me remember his name. i've also played with steve smith there. good place to go if you ever want to play against football players or has been nba stars. dell would basically cross half court and launch a 3 every time down if he had the ball. if stephen had it, he'd tell him to score no matter what. i guess preparing him to be the star of the show.

I never thought I would see the day that Davidson and Stephen Curry would lead off Around the Horn. It's a GREAT Day to be a Wildcat.
