“He played against Saint Mary’s, and I went to the game. I fell in love with the kid,” the Warriors ex-head coach said about college kid Curry’s game.
Three months later from that day, Warriors drafted Steph Curry in the 2009 NBA draft. Since that, Curry has become a key man to the Warriors team.
“I was able to draft Steph and he’s been as good or better than anybody believed he would be,” added Nelson.
“We all thought he was going to be terrific. But wow. He is one of the best to ever to do it.”
