Stephen Curry's College Career: A Deep Dive
Stephen Curry's college career at Davidson College is the stuff of legend, marked by his meteoric rise from an overlooked recruit to a national sensation. Despite being lightly recruited out of high school, Curry chose Davidson, a small mid-major program, where he quickly made an impact. As a freshman in the 2006-2007 season, Curry averaged an impressive 21.5 points per game, setting the NCAA record for most three-pointers made by a freshman with 122. His scoring ability and sharpshooting immediately put him on the radar of basketball fans and analysts alike.
Curry's sophomore season in 2007-2008 was nothing short of magical. He led Davidson to an unforgettable run in the NCAA Tournament, where the Wildcats reached the Elite Eight for the first time since 1969. Curry averaged 32 points per game during the tournament, including a stunning 40-point performance against Gonzaga in the first round and a clutch 33-point game to upset second-seeded Georgetown. His ability to hit deep three-pointers and score in critical moments earned him national acclaim. By the end of his college career, Curry had become Davidson's all-time leading scorer with 2,635 points and was a two-time Southern Conference Player of the Year. His remarkable journey at Davidson not only elevated the program but also set the stage for his legendary NBA career.
