The Golden State Warriors superstar guard’s ability to annoy basketball fans has given him the most undesirable of auras: that of a Duke player
Basketball fans were first introduced to Steph Curry 20 years ago the same way we learned of Riley Curry two years ago: he was the cute child a famous NBA father occasionally brought to work. A decade later we saw him again, knocking down jumpers for tiny Davidson College in the NCAA tournament and delivering hopelessly dorky rap verses about the campus dining hall. College Curry was the same kid we met in the 90s when Dell Curry was still in the league, just taller and with more range.
But today that kid has turned into, well, kind of an asshole. No longer the innocent, bright-eyed legacy marksman, Curry now gets into shoving matches with the likes of Semaj Christon.
