Stephen Curry was the subject of a Scott Cacciola New York Times profile over the weekend, in which various players from Division III Colby recall holding the Warriors star to 10-24 shooting when he was a freshman at Davidson. While Curry and his team started sluggishly, they finished strong. Buried in the piece was this relatively fun nugget (the quotes are from former Colby players):
As Curry warmed up, Davidson’s lead began to swell — from 10 to 20 to 30. Colby went to a 2-3 zone for long stretches, but nothing seemed to affect Curry. “I remember that his demeanor never changed,” Farrell said. “It didn’t matter how you were guarding him. Even if he was missing shots, he knew he was going to make some.”
Curry wound up setting program records for 3-pointers made (nine) and attempted (20). It was not his most efficient effort, but he made such an impression on the players from Colby that several of them sent him friend requests on Facebook after the game. Curry accepted them all and even wished the players luck for the rest of their season. “He’s got a verified account and all that now,” Choice said, “but I know I’m still friends with him on Facebook.”
If Curry’s personal Facebook profile is just filled with pictures of Riley, that’d qualify as a major win for his old friends from Colby.
