On the mantel

Rick Maese:

It wasn’t Curry’s amazing tournament that remains with me, nor the precision he displayed at practice. It was a letter I received from a Davidson woman. She told me how Curry visited her son’s school, how her boy met his hero on the playground and was eager for an autograph. But he had no pen. So the boy grabbed a rock and asked Curry to touch it. He raced home and placed the rock on the mantel, where it sat during Davidson’s tournament run.
