NBA News: Stephen Curry’s Dad Wows Crowd With A Deep 3-Pointer [VIDEO]
Stephen Curry's dad showed NBA fans where the Golden State Warriors point guard got his sharpshooting skill on Wednesday night. Dell Curry made a deep three-pointer as his son made a pass.
Before tip-off, Stephen Curry passes the ball to his 52 year old dad who is a former NBA player from 1986 until 2002. Dell Curry was selected by the Utah Jazz, and later played for Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors.
Like daddy, like son. Just as Stephen Curry bragged NBA's Most Valuable Player twice and NBA All-Star for four times, Dell Curry has prestigious awards attached to his name as well. He retired as Charlotte Hornet's all-time leader in points and three-point goals made.
After Dell Curry banked in the three-pointer, dad and son was seen grinning ear to ear. Stephen Curry's dad even yelled that it was "not that hard!" Dell Curry is now Hornet's broadcaster.
In a report by USA Today, Stephen Curry said that it is always cool to see his dad on the side lines, making comments at the end of the game. The 28 year old had spent much of his childhood watching Dell Curry play.
Stephen Curry went on to say that he does not take for granted that they, including Seth Curry who is with Dallas Mavericks, are still in the family business. He considers it an unbelievable opportunity to play in game his dad played for 16 years.
In the last game between Golden State Warriors and Charlotte Hornets, Stephen Curry scored 18 of his 39 points in the first quarter alone according to CBS Sports. He made six three-pointers and six assists.
Sam Amick describes Dell Curry's son as "one-of-a-kind, transcendent talent." Stephen Curry definitely deserves every vote to become NBA's first unanimous MVP winner.
