Stephen Curry was not always a great player
When you look at Steph today, it is hard to think he was ever a terrible player. The man has changed the game of basketball with his shooting prowess and continues to reach new heights. However, even Curry started with nothing and worked his to get to where he is. His Davidson coach, Bob McKillop, spoke about how Curry started off an awful player.
He explained saying: “He was awful. He threw the ball into the stands, he dropped passes, he dribbled off his foot, he missed shots. But never once during that game did he blame an official, or point a finger at a teammate. He was always cheering from the bench, he looked in his coaches eyes, and he never flinched. That stuck with me.”
