5 Lesser known facts about the Golden State Warriors

#3 Steph Curry attended Davidson & received scholarships only from small schools.

Steph was 6’0″ and 160 pounds at the time(he is 6’3″ and 190 now).

Steph's parents both went to Virginia Tech, but when the time came for him to follow in their footsteps, he fell short. They offered him a walk-on position rather than a scholarship, which is no what he was looking for.

It took Davidson coach Bob McKillop about three weeks of practice in fall 2006 to realize what the rest of America failed to see, when Curry was at Charlotte Christian High School.

"He had all the technical talents," McKillop said, "but also all the emotional talents."

After leading his high school team to three conference titles and three state playoff appearances, the future 2-time MVP was only offered scholarships from small schools (Davidson, VCU, and Winthrop).

At Davidson, he finished second in scoring (behind Kevin Durant), and eventually, led Davidson to their first NCAA tournament match victory in the next season. As was expected, Curry caught fire at Davidson and took the Wildcats to the Elite 8.
