[@philipcallado5693]

I'll be honest, I didn't think he'd be THIS good. I thought he'd be at best like a Mike Bibby: solid NBA PG for a long time, high teens scorer, get some dimes, so-so defender at best. But the guy has worked his ass off to be an elite player.

[@newkemba3578]

Fo sure

[@KinGAdil019]

I'd didn't think he'd be where he is now either. Now that his handle is crazy and he can play defense, he's unstoppable.

He is a so so defender at best so you got that right.

Flynn was actually good one year

[@childhoodtimemachine8795]

Charisma313 Too True LOL! Stephen Curry's been my favorite player to watch since he bursted out on the NCAA tournament scene back in 08. I remember thinking, "I'm seeing a lot of Steve Nash in this kid's game. I hope he has a chance to play in the league and get an opportunity." It's amazing to me that he's actually where I hoped he'd be. As for Johnny Flynn, he was never better than Curry. Too many people tend to get sidetracked by athleticism. If you're young and you have it, your flaws get overlooked. If you're young and you don't have it, you have "limited upside". LOL It's always fun coming back to these kinds of videos.

[@chrisma313]

I know right lol

[@greatnesspersonified3305]

Nobody not even curry predicted he’d be this good. MVP.

[@hgfxjnn]

J.T. Roberts same

[@fightnight14]

Because Curry hides behind his teammates AKA Draymond who plays the point more than 50% of the time, and other players like Iguodala (2015 finals mvp) who can carry a point guard's load as well. Curry is just a good scoring point guard in a very well built team that can distribute the workload as a team, unlike other teams that their stars have to carry them. Curry won't even be as good if he plays in a different team. Just look at the all-star games for example. Curry never excels playing with other teammates so far

[@CptMonstar]

I know the Timberwolves organization cries every time see or hear anything about Curry. That GM will probably never be hired again. Flynn over Curry, that has to hurt so bad!!!!!

[@Caligrown92511]

+Kevin Ehsani because no one thought the twolves with 2 picks In the top 6 would pick 2 point guards over Steph that GM better had been fired

[@vintagecoco9992]

Joshua Green Ronnie is right tho. The only reason the Warriors got him is because Minnesota chose 2 point guards before him. the Warriors needed a guard so they went with him

[@sergiozavaleta4521]

Ronnie Alston the GM was David Kahn,who is probably the worst GM in NBA history.

[@Ranger49]

GamingGamiest Actually Larry Riley the gm of the Warriors at the time, planned to draft Curry all along. Curry and his father were told weeks before the draft that the Warriors wanted him, but both he and his father were hesitant and wanted to go to Knicks.

[@claytron3000]

You're insane if you thought he would project to be this good. He was 160+ pounds soaking wet. He was a dynamic scorer, but so was Fredette, McDermott, Korver and others. Curry was nowhere near any of those guys, size-wise. Those careers are hard to project. Fredette could've been Korver, and vice-versa. Give credit to a guy working harder than everyone else in the room. His handle is infinitely better. His range goes out 4-5 feet further. A much better defender on and off the ball. Can fight through screens. His body is now built for punishment, where his college body was a question mark. He's changed the entire dynamic of how we analyze basketball and the value of the 3-pointer - who in their right mind in 2009 would've thought that Curry (along with others) would've broken the analytics scale? The experts projected him out as is. I can say (along with many others) that Michael Beasley would've been a top-20 player in the NBA if he projected out. That's just what we saw at the time.

+Young Trece I think he'd be about the same if the Wolves picked him up minus 1 MVP probably and those two championships. He might even play the PG role even better. I can see his assist numbers going up without Draymond and he'd be playing with Wiggins and Towns. The Wolves would've been scary around now.

[@oscarbrown9041]

I hope people appreciate the greatness of Curry now that his teams have become the standard of excellence.

[@P9rkour90]

Man take me back to 2009! The memories!

If the Knicks would have Drafted him his career would have been fucked.

[@FecalMatador]

Perpetually Contemplating Rap Name No. The Knicks would win a ring with Melo, Amare, and Curry.

[@Enzo575]

Al Phuckya mike d'antoni is a great offensive mind who's been with Steve Nash... Curry would've been great there

[@ianchristian3870]

Al Phuckya melo is ball hog

[@a.yhprumnadia5646]

He would have been dropped by the Knicks cuz his ankles

[@drewbreezy5854]

Youre exactly right. The knicks would have blew it 4sho.

When you want to see the comments from 2009, but cannot find them

[@rickyqueen2621]

4:30 brings a tear to my eyes as a Lakers fan. We're so far from what we used to be. 65-17! We WERE the NBA! But we will taste basketball glory again. It won't be like this for us for much longer. Our turn is almost here again 😎

we're here for each other bro. we'll be back. Lonzo Kuzma and Ingram aint no busts thats a fact

[@dahlia1381]

shut up you ruled the nba for 50 years give someone else a chance. 4 years of ineptitude aint shit

201 million later

[@aznnp77]

The 2009 NBA draft actually was one of the the better ones. Blake Griffin and James Harden in the top 3, along with Thabeet who was a 7 footer back when big men were highly valued. Tyreke Evans who won Rookie of the Year. Then the hyped Euro Prospect Ricky Rubio who quietly has had a productive 11 year career and counting. So you can't exactly fault people for passing on Curry who was a scrawny looking good that wasn't a traditional point guard that played against easier competition.

[@geraldreyes2714]

the problem is twolves passing on him twice and getting another guard. which is actually weird.

[@lungelongwenya112]

2021 and my goat just became the All-time 3 point leader. Here is to 2974 more 🐐

[@kxngmuzikig2417]

I like looking at these archives b/c ppl forget how Curry was looked at and it wasn't a bad take to say he'll just be a solid player. also his career took a bad start with all of those ankle problems

[@fiaskodollari7116]

I can't believe I'm saying this but curry changed my life completely i have the utmost respect for this man honestly

[@ORYB1137]

And here we are 4 Chips 🏆 later 🥶

Ty Dix sweet summer child

[@rushdi34]

I can't believe how good he's gotten...so many guys in college are knockdown shooters (Reddick and Fredette come to mind) but really don't do much in the NBA. Curry's a top 3 guy in the NBA now....

[@janrodriguez3200]

They spoke pretty glowingly about him and were pretty accurate honestly

[@zachslav1844]

It’s funny to watch these old videos knowing what happened

This guy looks like he may be the greatest shooter of all time if he's lucky he might even be the 1st unanimous MVP and even win 3 titles and change the game, let's hope for the best

That My Time in Steph Curry Promo was best foresight you can get.

So all y'all doubt is out the window now lol I love it..go Dubbs

[@jcanthony16]

Gotta respect the work he has put in to become one of the greatest in the league and arguably the greatest shooter of all time

[@Klocks420]

Arguable? Bro at this point it isn't lol

[@anikethingnekar3546]

In 2022, he's arguably the second best pg in NBA History... Crazy

[@maxwellhammond1078]

And the Timberwolves passed on Curry TWICE

[@Christian-gj4uw]

Maxwell Hammond his dad didn't want curry to play on Min

[@TimmyTacoOfficial]

Christian they couldve drafted curry and trade him to golden state for something in return

His dad didn't want Curry on golden state either.

To be honest I think the Golden State warriors is a good fit for Stephen Curry

The fact Minnesota drafted 2 pg and neither was steph curry is why Minnesota is the king of the lottery

I hate you 😂

But no finals MVP haha

[@lrdmcd914]

They didn't say ntn wrong

[@mygaffer]

+Leon Müßle So what? He's got plenty of time to do that and league MVP, back to back, is better than a finals MVP.

[@ReoBandss]

User lmao no it's not. Finals MVP means you won the championship. That's way better than two mvp's.

[@jamirimaj6880]

i remember this guy on the Warriors like in 2013 when they dubbed him and his teammate the Splash Brothers... are they playing overseas now or something?

[@malleratty]

the very first time I watched his highlights I had a feeling he was the future of basketball

[@rabarberellum1017]

2022: 4 x Champion, 2 x MVP (1x unanimous), 1 x Finals MVP, 2 x Scoring title, All NBA most 3-points, changed the game basketball is played today, 50-40-90 club member, Steals title, near every 3-point record, and the best part: he isn't finished yet.
