Career path
Who is Curry
Drafted seventh overall by the Golden State Warriors in 2009, Stephen Curry arrived from Davidson with the scoring instincts that made him the NCAA's leading scorer in his final college season. The Wildcats retired his jersey, but the Warriors handed him the point guard role and watched him become the engine of a team that would win four NBA championships. Curry's individual shelf includes league MVP honours and a Finals MVP, along with multiple All-Star selections, yet the defining image remains his quick release from beyond the arc. Years after that draft night, he is still in the Bay Area with the same club, still running the offence for Golden State, and still the player opposing coaches game-plan for first throughout a career tied to the Warriors franchise.
