They say Madison Square is the place to showcase
your talents and Stephen Curry sure did that. This 24 year old young man stole
the show in Madison Square even with Carmelo Anthony scoring 35 points, J.R.
Smith hitting 6 3-pointers off the bench, and Tyson Chandler having 28 rebounds.
He scored 54 points, making an amazing 11 of 13 three pointers! Although he had
a career game, the Golden State Warriors still lost to the New York Knicks
109-105. He scored only 4 points in the
first quarter, then he turned into gear and caught on fire. Curry also had seven assists, six rebounds, and three steals.
Stephen was playing so well that he didn’t see the bench the entire game. This
game made him one of the now 14 players to score 50 or more points New York. This game has made everyone a Stephen Curry fan now, but I believe he deserved this credit a long time ago. He had an amazing college career for the Davidson Wildcats, averaging 28 points per game! Curry was named the Southern Conference “Player of the Year” twice. Also he set the all-time scoring record for Davidson and the Southern Conference. As if that wasn’t enough he also set school records for three-pointers, free throws, and the single season NCAA record for three-pointers.
Stephen has always had big shoes to fill
and now is starting to make his own. His father Dell Curry played in the NBA
from 1986-2002. Dell is the Hornets all-time leader in points (9,839) and
three-point field goals made (929). So it’s fair to say that he is used to the
hype, he is now showing that he can back it up time and time again with the
best. This performance is just the tip of the iceberg for this young emerging
superstar. Its only his second year in the league and he is making an uproar.
Its going to be great watching him. Now that his name is completely out, he will
have to keep up with the expectations he has put on himself and its going to be
amazing to watch.
