4 times 1st Team All American Team.. National Player of the Year 2007-08, 4 times 1st Team All ACC.. and ACC Player of the Year.. 3 ACC championships 🏆 Regular Season and one ACC Tournament championship.. 2 Finals Fours and 2009 NCAA championship 🏆.. if that's not a top 5 Tar Heel then nobody is.
Sad to say this kind of thing may not ever see again. Seeing UNC develop over that four year period that resulted in their two runs to the final four in 08 and 09 was cool to watch. I remember Hansborough's first game at Duke like it was yesterday. And seeing Steph Curry play in that 08 tournament was a treat as well. Looking back on it, that ability to go supernova was pretty obvious. I said after the sweet sixteen game that he was the next Reggie Miller as his ceiling hahaha. We could've gotten a rematch had Davidson somehow upset that KU squad.
@@39AcesThis was the last time I truly enjoyed UNC. Even though they made those 2 finals winning another under Roy I was glad, but this is the last UNC team I think of with Tyler, Ty, Ellington and green. Followed these guys like I did with 05 team and the 90's team's. Watching these guys stay 3-4 years angry go through heartbreak to winning was the best of them all.

As I watch the first half of this game, what stands out to me is how Curry actively moves the ball and finds open teammates. He’s never been someone to force shots.
On defense, Curry was really "on the ball," and caused, indirectly, several turnovers just because he was in the right spot. Very aware of his position versus the man he was guarding and moved to prevent his man from "setting up." Helped out a lot. Very impressed with his hustle, poise and evident court sense.
26:03 so he was Always baby faced AND he was Always an assassin🤔😮… and I love how he’s still just “Dell’s kid” when the entire world will know Dell as ‘Curry’s dad’😂
Do you happen to have the UNC vs. Davidson game from 2006 in the Smith Center? That was the first game I ever attended live. Love your channel by the way!
it's amazing how much more authentic this basketball is compared to NBA basketball today. Look at the super tight defense and emphasis on ball movement
That is a moronic and ignorant comment, the type of nonsense that college basketball fans, who mostly ignore the NBA, spout way too often. This game was not about defense but about too many guys with bad hands and zero skills. The NBA game of today DESTROYS this travesty. The NBA of today has much better PURPOSEFUL ball-movement than what was on display in this contest. College basketball remains my favorite sport, but it hasn't been great since the 1990s and its peak was the 1980s. Authentic. Get a clue.
You gotta be kidding, right? He was born under a former NBA, had the best environment for basektball. It's not just hardwork vs. talent. It's hardwork, talent, AND environment. This hardwork vs. talent is a dumb cliche used by people who don't use their brains
Steph then and now: 1. His conditioning was terrible, often really out of gas. He never is now. 2. The scheme wasn't designed to get him the ball. Especially in the first half he barely touched it. Only brought it up for a couple of possessions in the second half. 3. He was obviously way skinnier and that affected his ability to shed defenders on the perimeter. He couldn't push off effectively. 4. He wasn't in constant motion then like he is now. When the ball didn't get to him he'd just hang around hoping. 5. His legs weren't as strong so his shot wasn't falling as consistently. He did a lot of leg and core conditioning after his NBA ankle injuries and that helped his late game shot from three a lot. In college he obviously looked like he was pushing it a lot.
among the players from both teams... only steps became one of top NBA player... that time if they only see the future maybe they keep it passing to Curry for the three
I happened to watch a game in the NBA with Hansbrough in it in Toronto and I was amazed how much of a drop off there was between his skill level and everyone else's on the court. He clearly did not belong.
He had the effort and drive which can still work in college. Saw him live in ACC tournament in 09 and love guys like him who give it everything while lacking so much. Took my uncle and he was confused why I thought he was so incredible, telling me man he's bad after the game. 😂 I reminded him he led the winning team with 26 points and something like 12 rebounds. Throw the ball at the hoop and out hustle everyone and put it back. I'd take 5 of these guy's in college but obviously not NBA. He was to undersized to be a true big and very limited athleticism to be a spread out big.
Wow, Curry actually isn't the PG here. Guess how I know? He doesn't have the ball! He sure as hell is for the GSW. People who say Curry is a SG in the NBA really don't understand how easy this is 🤦
Curry turned out to be a good NBA player granted the NBA changed the rules to promote perimeter shooting and less contact. College is different he actually had to play both ends nothing he could do with Lawson and Ellington.
The No#2 of davidson is so very selfish..steph curry has an open shot ,and many time he open shot ,but he didnt throw the ball to Steph to shoot the ball...😢
@@generalkayoss7347 One has won multiple NBA championships! And has a heck of a net worth because of NBA contracts and endorsements. The other one is not even close!
I got the 1st comment here. So, let me say that Curry has been a bad influence on basketball because everyone wants to jack up 30 footers . Nothing but the truth I just spoke .
He's not the bad influence, it's the coaches that are allowing their players to try to imitate him. He has simply been playing his game. And I'm not even a Curry fan
Kids don’t anything about analytics. College and above, yes. I play against middle school through adult age in pick up games. The younger the kid, the less they know how to play team basketball and set a screen, shot or pass fake, cut or move without the ball. So the only thing left is ‘iso’ basketball. Pull up a 3 or try to drive and shoot off the dribble. There’s one decision. I’m shooting. And they don’t even know when they shouldn’t be the guy shooting because they are mommy;s special snow flake. I watch these games with my 13 year old and he says ‘nobody could play’ back then except Jordan.
