Curry gets last laugh on haters, reads critical 2009 scouting report
You might recall that Steph Curry's draft projections coming out of college were not exactly bullish, despite his outstanding shooting and Davidson's improbable run in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Well, Curry -- fresh off leading the Golden State Warriors to an NBA title -- would like to remind you that he hasn't forgotten.
In this video, Curry recites a particularly critical draft scouting report, which calls out several supposed characteristics that make Curry's pro prospects look dicey at best.
"Stephen's explosiveness and athleticism are below standard," it opens. Well, OK, maybe it's not totally wrong. But it only gets more wrong from there.
"He needs to considerably improve as a ball-handler," it continues. "He will have limited success at the next level. Do not rely on him to run your team," the report goes, as "2015 NBA CHAMPION" flashes across the screen.
Yep, now it has jumped the shark.
"Stephen must develop as a point guard in order to make it in the league."
Looks like he did just fine with that.
