Stephen Curry - 2008 March Madness Full NCAA Tournament Highlights

[@TruthfullySpeaking2001]

I still remember arguing with my friends in college that Curry was going to be a star in the league after watching this tourney run. 12 years later I still have the bragging rights on this prediction.

[@MrPeacockman]

I would of been one of those guys arguing with you... Loved his game, but didn't think it would translate to the NBA because of his size... Boy was I wrong, wrong, wrong... and I have watched him torch my Spurs ever since.

[@Youngdanny45]

Same I said watch this kid be a Knicks and spark something in New York I even thought Minnesota. Told my boys Ricky Rubio was going to be an all star too tho lolol

[@thomasdemay9805]

@@Youngdanny45 I always thought Rubio was hype but I like your comment about Knicks. I was a Knicks fan that was a big believer in Curry and was dying for Knicks to draft him but he didnt make it I was devastated. I was going to UNC Charlotte at the time and our school is rivals with Davidson. Saw Curry torch us and knew he was going to be a good NBA player before the March Madness run so that just was complete confirmation to me that he was going to be a star in NBA. They mention his game against Charlotte in the video he had 34 or 36 points. Man when the Knicks missed out on him that was the most devastated I've been in reaction to a Knicks draft which also says something.

Never noticed that/never occurred to me. That’s awesome! Great observation

[@BarsAnderson]

How is being a 10 seed that was under ranked starting st the bottom. It's weird to me as a big basketball fan people didn't know anything about him til tourney time. I watched plenty of his regular season games and they were using football defenses on him with a 2nd man always near him even without the ball. It wasnt a mystery he'd been a goos player in the NBA because of his shooting and creativity. Didn't necessarily think he'd be MVP, but I already assumed he'd be a 20 ppg guy

[@williamcooper6274]

Thirteen Years after I first viewed this incredible, inspirational run, I stumbled on it again. I remember watching the Gonzaga game in 2008 and the initial Curry explosion and saying "Dell's son. Yup. NBA for Sure." and then "This guy's gonna go on a roll.". DAMN, BACK THEN I WAS SPOT ON. When they beat Georgetown I said to my boys "Stephen Curry's gonna scare the living crap out of Kansas in the Elite Eight." I knew they would beat Wisconsin easily (Big Ten. Always too slow defensively, I thought years ago.) and I had my heart in my chest watching the Kansas Highlights as I did that Sunday Afternoon when I was so hopeful for Curry and Davidson. You felt Bill Self's fear when he tried many defensive schemes. Nothing worked. Rush couldn't stop him, nor could Chalmers or the Amoeba Trick D/Box and One. As I watched Davidson go toe-to-toe with the perennial heavyweight I kept thinking years ago, "They need one more player." Sadly, the last shot proved me right. The broadcast team was ridiculous to think that the Jayhawks were gonna let Curry get that shot off; they threw the kitchen sink at the kid. Now I bet CHEF CURRY, the TWO-TIME MVP/THREE TIME CHAMPION WITH UNLIMITED RANGE WOULD HAVE BEATEN THE CRAZY D, but not that guy, that day. And in hindsight, I'm glad, because I bet any amount of money because of that moment, today we see the greatest shooter the game has ever known with a sick ball handle.

[@05dal]

Exactly my thoughts! I think that last shot he didn't take became one of his biggest motivations to be the best player he is right now. One of his "chip on the shoulder." 😎😎😎

You see, there’s NBA ready players in college which you can see it when you watch those players play. But watching Curry in college was something else entirely.

Reality of the nba at the time Curry was drafted: LeBron was big time and the blueprint type player teams wanted to build around. Also Curry was playing shooting guard in college and teams didn't know if he could play PG and was too small for SG. But mainly because teams weren't heavily invested into actually developing players but wanted instant stars.

@@marz4021 all this shows is that you should never choose aesthetics over skill. Steph is 6’3. Bigger than some if not most pgs even today. Muscle mass and core strength can be achieved.
