5 best NCAA Tournament performances by active NBA players

#3 Steph Curry (Davidson - 2008)

Steph Curry was an unknown until the run he led Davidson on in 2008...

It is also hard to believe that Steph Curry has been in the league almost 10 years now, but it was 2008 when he led the 10-seed Davidson Wildcats to the Elite Eight. This was the year the world knew who Curry was well before he led the Golden State Warriors to two NBA Championships.

During his tournament run, Curry would average an amazing 32.0 points per game with 40 against 7-seed Gonzaga, 30 against 2-seed Georgetown, and 33 against 3-seed Wisconsin in those victories. Davidson's magical run would end in the Elite Eight with a loss to Kansas by only two points, 59-57.

By now, everyone knows who Steph Curry is, even if they are not sports fans. Golden State won the NBA Championship in 2015 and 2017. Curry is a 5-time NBA All-Star and also a 2-time NBA Most Valuable Player, having won the award in 2015 and 2016.
