Here are some more comments from Davidson:
A chance meeting in 2011, when the NBA was on lockout, sure helped. Curry was in Durham to see Davidson play against Duke, and Curry’s younger brother Seth. Grady’s dad had a friend with Duke season tickets, so they flew down for the game.
“I did not know he was going to be there, but we all kind of assumed,” Grady said of hoping to meet his idol.
“The game ended – Duke won – and my father and me were just kind of roaming around. We saw Steph about 50 feet away. I told my dad I wanted a picture with Steph. My dad flagged him down, and one of my dad’s friends was shouting, ‘That’s Little Steph!’”
Grady is no longer “Little Steph.” A 6-foot-5 guard, he has potential to end up in the NBA. And he certainly believes he and his teammates belong in a win-or-go-home game Thursday night (7:10, CBS) against a program as storied as Kentucky’s.
“I certainly think we can give their coach some nerves,” Grady said of Kentucky’s John Calipari. “One could assume when an A-10 team gets in on an automatic bid and sees Kentucky as their opponent (it would) … be fearful.
“We’re excited. We really feel comfortable about this matchup. Three days to prepare for us? We think that works in our favor.”
Sounds familiar. Like something Curry might have said. Way back in 2008.
Curry isn’t walking through that door guys.
