I agree, those Facebook comments on the Warriors page are *$@+$*$ annoying. 3/4th of them don't even know what they're talking about.

MADRID — Of all the coaches who overlooked Stephen Curry as a young player, Mike Krzyzewski acknowledges that his missed evaluation may be the most glaring. Curry attended Duke’s basketball camp as a youngster, making Krzyzewski and his staff among the first who labeled Curry as too short, too thin and too one-dimensional.

After a stellar career at Davidson and an impressive rookie season with the Golden State Warriors last season, being an overlooked overachiever has become as intertwined with Curry’s image as the exaggerated follow-through on his jump shot.

Curry’s career of shaming modest expectations appears to apply internationally as well. His shooting touch and diverse game have earned him a prominent role for USA Basketball, which is traveling to Turkey to attempt to win its first world championship since 1994.

Fitting nicely into Curry’s career narrative, his play has hinted at a bigger role than anyone could have anticipated.

“He really has a cerebral game,

I was at the gym when these two guys in Warriors gear was talking about Jeremy Lin. Here was there convo as I remembered it:
A: Jeremy Lin doesn't look too bad.
B: Yea, he did pretty well against some good college teams. He dropped like 30 on some legit college teams.
A: No wayyyyyyyy.
B: Yea, his highlight videos are YouTube.
A: No wayyyyyyyy.
B: He's legit.
My complex: S T F U   NOOBS   G T F O.

Just nod your head and keep it moving. That's what I do, well at least try to. I tend to get in a lot of sports arguments when I'm drunk.

For those who frequent warriors.realgm.com, Chris Cohan is hilarious.

Saw you comment, the girl in the picture is my friend

...Small world indeed.

DOUBBBBBBBBBLE POSTTTT

What are your thoughts on Curry and Team USA? Do you want him to make the team? I've heard people say that they would rather have him get cut so that he doesn't get hurt and is well rested for the season. I understand that point, but I think it would be great to see a Warrior represent the country. I mean, we haven't even seen a Warrior represented in the All Star game since 1997. To me it's a no-brainer. Your guys' thoughts?

 

[acidicality]

I wanna see him play, there's always a fear he might get hurt but that's the same with everyone playing...

 

[bastitch]

People get hurt running trails in the off season.

I have no problem with Curry making the team. It would be the highest level of basketball he's ever played, IMHO.

 

[what up]

It's not about him getting hurt. Curry is putting a lot of miles on his legs. I don't want him fading down the stretch this upcoming season. But the experience he is getting is great for him.

 

[dland24]

He has my support. Id love to watch him play on this team.

 

[lazyj10]

Down the stretch while we'll have been eliminated from playoff contention for months already?

my FFBALL peeps::

how does THIS sunday, the 22th sound to you? If it works...what time of the day would work best?

 

[daprescription]

It's not like Curry is going to be getting a lot of minutes on the team anyways. It's really not a big deal.

 

[acidicality]

sunday morning would be alright.

 

[dland24]

Sunday morning would be fine. Im going to the game and probably leaving around 2.

 

[chr1scross]

lol speaking of FB i kno this one dude who thinks he is monta ellis one day then stephen curry the next day then jeremy lin the next and what not, always talking bout his basketball class for skyline college.. its comedy though, and hes a bit "slow" so I don't have no problem with it

 

[daprescription]

Ended up getting season tickets when I went for the mini plan

. When I put the deposit for the mini play they said 5 games. When I get there the Miami plan is 15 games and the Lakers plan is like 10

. So they started at like $600+ for the Lakers plan. I ended up getting 5th row on 205 for like $100 more than a mini plan. Eh, I can't go to school this semester so I have something to do now

.

These the ones I would have had for the miniplan, but I went up to the section right above it.

I've gotten mini-plans the last two years and I'm not sure if I'll end up getting one.

If I do then the Lakers or Miami Plans have the best games
