ESPN: Bobby Knight praises Stephen Curry

Coach Bobby Knight praises Stephen Curry on ESPN. 1/13/2009

[@jh3cris]

Boy oh boy was Coach Knight right on Curry

[@rangerRick9895]

minnesota should hire him as GM lol

[@fartkicker]

He was also right about Jordan!

[@MrMadamS69]

Curry is "as good a passer as has ever played college basketball" -Bob Knight And Knight doesn't just give out free compliments....

[@demetriousstephens1998]

Bob Knight and Popovich are alot alike, they don’t coddle the players they coach and compliments are rare from them

[@griemypooh1413]

Bob knight also said Michael Jordan was the best player he'd seen play ball and that Jordan had the potential to be the greatest to play the game. He said this about Jordan when Mike was still in college.

[@grapplerke]

Curry is already showing that he's going to be a great PG, way better than Monta Ellis. Tyreke Evans, Stephen Curry, James Harden and Brandon Jennings... What a monstrous draft! We'll have to see what Griffin will bring, but I think he will be an all-star as long as he doesn't get injured again. The Knicks, Grizzlies, and Timberwolves screwed up badly.

dude you are a fucking genius

[@cedricbarrey3537]

Curry reminds me Jason Kidd, Larry bird ( shooter) and Isaiah thomas( handles). He is a true basket ball genius.

[@MD-cy8uj]

Yes. He's a combination of the greats but better

[@philipcallado5693]

And coming out of the draft, people were wondering if Steph could play the point. LOL

[@armin38822]

why was that ?

[@philwilson609]

Whatever happened to Stephen Curry? I used to think he had a chance to play in the NBA.

[@demetriousstephens1998]

@@armin38822They thought he was too small, skinny and he wasn’t athletic.

[@rshrsh5420]

I would have LOVED to watch and learn from Coach Knight how to break down game film like this. He truly was the best at preparation!

[@jeannecitta]

Did Bobby Knight ever say things like that about Chris Paul coming out of college? If not, that tells you where Stephen Curry is headed, ALL-STAR baby.

This is from the man who coached Isaiah Thomas. For anyone who thought Knight was crazy, and are skeptics of Curry's ability at the point, than they don't know jack.

[@geronimojones]

Passing is passing. It doesn't matter if it's flashy or not, just so long as the ball gets to where it needs to be.

[@DaDeerGamer]

Respect

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

The same Bob Knight that called Air Jordan the best basketball player and Jordan was just drafted by Chicago in 1984 and just won the gold medal with the 84 Olympic team in Los Angeles

[@massacrene1]

for real. Thats whats so awesome about the NBA draft, you never know whose truly going to come out the winner despite all the "expert" opinions. Stephen Curry needs to take over that team and the warriors should trade monta ellis for a big with good offense and great defense. Monta Ellis reminds me of iverson. Hes just not a true PG.

[@user-dx3tp1gz9d]

dude

[@akashkumarsah1995]

and they said this man couldn't be a point guard.. been underrated since day one

[@wildforthecats661]

I saw Curry play in high school before going to Davidson. The first thing I noticed was his superb passing abilities.

[@itiswhatitis7921]

Look at number 30 so inspirational

[@bmmutlu]

I still can not explain why such potentially admired player was selected as number 7 pick in 2009 draft. I watched a lot of commentator from that year that they admit Curry was the best shooter in that draft, but YET he was number 7 pick. Somebody explains me how potentially they placed other lets say 3-4 players on top of him like Ricky Rubio etc.

[@MrMadamS69]

They thought he was too small. Wrong!

[@crudojoshuaricofort8795]

...Dell Curry's fault

[@EvanZamir]

I come from the future, and the future was good for Stephen Curry.

[@LilBoSkeetE85]

I’m from NC and followed Steph when he was at Davidson. Considering where the league was then I still would’ve drafted Steph @2 Blake was too much of a monster to pass up

[@supersaiyanjin2199]

the biggest what if: if davidson won against kansas in the regional finals, then (probably) won the ncaa title....would he be drafted number 1?

[@MrMadamS69]

I doubt it -- they're so focused on physical stuff: height, wingspan, benchpress, etc.

[@jogmesson]

if Curry drafted in today's NBA, he probably gonna drafted 1st even if he didn't win NCAA(assuming the game already evolved like today)

[@crudojoshuaricofort8795]

Carl Crave no... Dell Curry won't want his son to play in a bad team

[@dis_john]

​@@jogmesson the game today evolved because of Curry. So I don't see his draft position changing at all

[@bizil100]

For me, the PERFECT PG for that Mike DanToni system would have been Curry! He would have been getting Harden numbers on a Nash like 50-40-90 clip. Very skilled and underrated passer. Just is more of a score first player who is such a phenomenal shooter he plays to that in that GSW system.

[@VinnyMcFly]

i dont ever miss pheasants with this kind of lead

[@YushaR1993]

In the future I hope he compares Isiah Thomas to steph curry. Would like to hear his knowkedge on the comparison

[@dusttaker]

5 years ago I would take Isiah but today is it even a comparison?
