NBA Star Stephen Curry is one of the greatest shooters of all time, but he wasn’t always like that. In fact, every major D1 college rejected Curry. Why and how did he make the NBA?

At the end of his sophomore year, Curry was 5’ 6”, 125 pounds. In other terms, he was a pipsqueak for basketball. Curry had this goal of making the NBA and was willing to put in the work, but it just seemed like he was too small. On top of that, he couldn’t shoot normally. Basketball players are supposed to be shooting from their head up. Curry didn’t have enough strength to shoot it from there and so he would shoot it from his waist. That means Curry could easily get blocked and because he was so small, he could also easily get bodied. Dell Curry, Steph’s father and one of the great NBA 3 point shooters, told Steph that it was necessary for him to shoot from his head up so for the entire summer before junior year, Steph worked on his shot. Steph’s brother would say that Curry would work day and night on his shot. His shot was broken down to the point where he couldn’t shoot 2 feet in front of the rim. He would cry some nights, frustrated at his inability to correct his shot. But something was happening to Curry. He was growing. In his junior year of high school basketball, Curry showed off his new shot and new height. He was finally shooting above his head and stood at 5’ 9”. He averaged just under 20 points per game, but it wasn’t enough. No division 1 college was sending offers his way. Being in Charlotte. Steph would say that you want to play for the Tar Heels, Duke, Wake Forest but Curry would never get that chance. Still, Curry was pretty optimistic, but then he got hit with a big blow. The only college that recruited Curry was his father’s college, Virginia Tech, and they told him that he would have to play as a walk-on or basically they have an open roster spot for people who try out and if he does good, he might make that spot. There’s no guarantee. That hurt Steph. Curry worked harder in the next summer and grew to 6 foot. Finally, he got an offer his senior year, from Davidson College. Davidson coach Bob McKillop thought he had found a player that could change the whole program around and man was he right. Curry would have games here and there his freshmen year of college, but Steph became a household name, a college star, his sophomore year of college where he led Davidson on a Cinderella story to the final 8. He led a sort of no name division 1 school the final 8 of the NCAA tournament. His junior year of college basketball, Curry led the whole nation in scoring and eventually declared for the draft. If you want a video on the Cinderella Story of Davidson, let me know in the comments down below. Curry changed his whole life around with hard work and some great genetics that allowed him to grow. It’s funny how Curry couldn’t shoot normally in high school basketball and now is an NBA Star who is possibly the best basketball shooter that ever lived. But what do you think? Is Curry the best shooter ever? Let me know in the comments down below. Drop a like if you liked this video. Let’s aim for 153 likes.
