ON THIS DAY: October 28, 2009 Steph Curry Makes his NBA Debut

It was 12 years ago to the date that a skinny sharpshooter from Davidson made his NBA debut for the Warriors. You know what came next. The rest is history that Warriors fans never thought they'd witness. I was so wrong about Steph coming out of college. I thought Johnny Flynn out of the Syracuse was the best point guard of that draft class that included: Ricky Rubio Tyreke Evans Jrue Holiday Ty Lawson Jeff Teague Eric Maynor Steph Curry Darren Collison Toney Douglas Patrick Beverly James Harden Patty Mills I have watched the NBA since 1978 and without any question, Steph is the best shooter I have ever seen in my life! Steph Curry stepped on the floor for a NBA regular-season game for the first time on Oct. 28, 2009, and quickly flashed his greatness. Months after Golden State made him the No. 7 pick in the draft, Curry played just under 36 minutes for coach Don Nelson. He finished with 14 points, seven assists, two rebounds and four steals in a 108-107 loss to the Houston Rockets. Curry was the Warriors' third-leading scorer behind Monta Ellis (26) and Stephen Jackson (17). His impact went well beyond his scoring, though. The 21-year-old led the Warriors in assists, his four steals were a game-high between both teams and his plus-7 in plus-minus was tied for the team lead with Kelenna Azubuike, who scored 13 points off the bench. There was one thing missing from his box score, though. Curry missed his only 3-point attempt of the night. Curry averaged 17.5 points per game as a rookie and shot 43.7 percent from deep. 12 years later he was named the NBA 75th Anniversary team as one of the NBA's best 75 players of all-time! #StephCurry #NBA #MoeDeesBasketball MoeDee's Basketball Social Media website: www.moedeesbasketball.org Facebook:   / moedeesbasketball   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moedeesbask...
