February 1st, 2019 update Stephen Curry was picked by the Golden State Warriors in 2009 and quickly became one of the top shooters in the NBA. Curry later led his club to the NBA title in 2015. He is now one of the best basketball players in the world.
Curry first came onto the national stage when he was selected #7 by the Warriors in the 2007 NBA draft. The shooting guard from Davidson College in North Carolina became the first player in NCAA history to score 2,000 points during his freshman season and followed that up by averaging 27.4 ppg the next season. He also set a new NBA record by making 90 3-pointers in a single game (vs. Chicago).
Curry's career high 300th triple was also one of his most memorable moments during the 2014-15 season when he scored 31 points against the Houston Rockets. That mark has since been broken three times: by James Harden, Chris Paul, and Damian Lillard.
He also has the fastest half-court shot recorded at the time of release with a 48-foot bomb in 2008. That still stands as the all-time leader today. Stephen Curry owns nearly every offensive statistical category except for rebounds and blocks per game. He is also one of only four players ever to average at least 30 points, five assists, and five rebounds per contest.
On August 4, 2008, he signed as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors. On July 13, 2010, the Golden State Warriors traded him to the New Jersey Nets in return for a second-round draft selection in 2011. Because it was protected in the top 55, Golden State did not earn the second round draft pick. However, due to the new collective bargaining agreement, the Nets were able to swap picks with another team that they had traded away (New York). The Golden State Warriors now have the right to choose between the Brooklyn Nets' and Miami Heat's second-round selections.
Morrow has been a starting guard for most of his career, but last season with the Nets, he started several games at point guard. He is expected to be one of the top guards off the bench for the Warriors this season.
Morrow finished third in voting for the 2008-09 NBA Rookie of the Year award, behind Derrick Rose and James Harden. He also made the All-Rookie First Team.
He has since become a fan favorite in Golden State for his energy on and off the court. In addition to playing basketball, Morrow has expressed an interest in becoming a coach one day. When asked about his future plans, he said "I want to be a coach when I grow up".
Morrow was born on January 4th, 1984 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
