Bruh Curry was so famous during that time. He was Jimmermania before there was a Jimmermania. He was getting so much buzz that even Lebron, KD, and Westbrook attended his games. Not even Lonzo and Zion was like that when he were still in college.

I remember during Curry's rookie year, I made a bet with this "loud-mouthed" guy that I worked with. The bet was who would win MVP first... Rookie player Steph Curry, or (his pick) 2nd year player Russell Westbrook. Even though they both ended up winning MVP, I was eventually right. Not only was I right, but everyone surrounding us was laughing at the thought as Steph Curry as MVP. That's the part that really blows my mind. THE WHOLE ROOM (people who followed basketball) was making fun of me, for saying that.
