’08’s breakout star

Scott Fowler: Davidson guard Stephen Curry belonged to the Carolinas until the NCAA tournament, when he went national with a series of amazing performances. My favorite was his 25-point second half against Georgetown on Easter Sunday in Raleigh. Davidson came back from 17 down to win.

You could list a half-dozen Curry performances here. My second favorite was far more recent. Curry scored 44 to beat N.C. State on Dec. 6 in Charlotte, with LeBron James as his celebrity fan, watching from the front row.
