Stephen in the Journal

As told to Meg Kimmel on page 20 of the Summer issue:

It’s interesting. Going in, I didn’t see Davidson as the best fit for me. You could say I was basketball motivated. I mean, I was excited, but a little hesitant. I could not imagine what it would be like. So I guess one of of the best lessons from Davidson is not to go into a situation judging what it will be like. Being open to things. Because you never know.

Also this:

When I was making this NBA decision, I wasn't worried about missing basketball -- I knew I would have basketball. But giving up being a student -- I just loved all of that, the social aspect. Giving that up before I had to, that was the hardest part. ... I loved being a Davidson student. I loved every bit of it.

In Toronto

Dell on Stephen and the NBA: “I think he’d do well. He can shoot the basketball. He’s proven he can play both guard positions. And he loves to play. This is not just a dad talking, this is just a guy talking: He has no range. It’s much like mine. He’s comfortable shooting pretty much everywhere on the floor.”

Watching from Charlotte

QC Sports Blog:

Speaking of the whole issue about Steph possibly going pro, I will write a letter to him on this blog once the season is over begging him to stay.

Dick’s gut feeling

Vitale in USA Today:

Recently, I had a chance to make my first visit to Davidson and call a game involving All-American, Stephen Curry. My gut feeling tells me that Curry is going to follow the actions of football superstar Tim Tebow at Florida and make the same decision as North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough and return for his senior season at Davidson. Do you think that would put a smile on the face of Davidson alums and certainly coach Bob McKillop?
