Steph Curry Reveals Major Reason for NBA Success

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry credits his College career for NBA success

During a recent episode of Hot Ones, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry revealed how his collegiate career at Davidson helped make him the NBA player he is today.

"The brand of basketball that I play now was predicated on a system that Davidson College, Bob McKillop, mastered," Curry said. "And the only reason I think I'm successful at it is I got to learn with reps. So having gone to [Virginia] Tech or Duke, or whatever, maybe I ride the bench my freshman year and I don’t get that experience, I don’t know if I’d be the same player."

Curry added, "It's kind of a message of go where the best fit is for you. As much as you might want to have the pedigree or the resume to say, 'I played in the ACC, I played in a power conference.' That's all cool, but myself, Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, guys who went to mid-major colleges, they'll find you wherever you’re at. I had faith at the time, I didn't know how it would pan out. I wouldn't change that experience for anything."

With his college experience helping turn him into the player he is now, Curry is an advocate for players attending the school that is best for them and their career, as opposed to choosing the school with the biggest name.
