In an interview that'll run in Sports Illustrated next week, Steph Curry reflects on a 63-point spanking he gave an opposing team as an eighth grader. As the MVP himself succinctly stated:
"I shot everywhere and I couldn’t miss."
That should surprise no one. He's the freakin' MVP after all. But his dad Dell doesn't view it as positively. We told you Stephen scored 63, but Dell missed the final 20 of those because he was so red-faced at how head and shoulders his son was over everyone else's inferior son(s). As the elder Curry remembers:
"All these people were coming in to see what was going on, and there was so much commotion, it seemed like he was never going to stop. I had to get out of there. I felt bad for the other team. I couldn't watch what he was doing to those kids."
This stands in stark contrast to many of our dads, who did in fact have to leave the field and/or court out of sheer embarrassment of their own kids.
But not because any of us were playing well.
