Stephen Curry destroyed Dell Curry in his high school days

Seth Curry, younger brother of Steph, appeared in a recent episode of ‘All the Smoke’. During the podcast, he was asked if his father Dell can still compete in a shooting contest. To this, Seth said that Dell can still shoot, but he’ll never play one-on-one with Steph and Seth.

“No question, he can shoot it. He don’t wanna move around a lot. He definitely ain’t playing us one-on-one,” Seth answered when asked if his dad can shoot in a shooting contest.

“I think in high school, Steph beat him one-on-one. That was the last time he played either of us one-on-one.”

Curry had immense potential from his college days. He is a Davidson college graduate and in his final season with them; he averaged 28.6 points. In fact, that season, he became the NCAA scoring leader. However, he decided to opt-out of his final year at Davidson and declared himself for the 2009 NBA draft.
