As a parent of a Davidson College grad, I was appalled and angered by Stephen Curry’s decision to leave in search of riches with the NBA.
Where were his parents in this decision?
Is the lure of riches and “a dream” so great that he could not take a year to finish his education? A Davidson education is a privilege; a Davidson diploma is the key to unlock many doors.
Finish your education, Stephen, then go out in the real world and play.
Which prompted the following in the comments section:
Why is Stephen Curry getting grief for jumping to the NBA a year early?!? If he signs a contract with an NBA team, he will, in all probability, get a multi-million dollar signing bonus and multi-million dollar contract … set for life … if he is smart about it. He can always go back to Davidson or anywhere else to get his diploma during the off-season or after his NBA career is over. Yes, he could come back for his senior year, have a career ending injury, and be like the rest of us working schmucks!!!!!
Way to go Stephen!!!!
(My take? The excessive use of exclamation points always makes me wary.)
