Stephen Curry: From Overlooked College Recruit to Two-Time MVP

A recent graduate from Texas Christian University (TCU), John Morgan most recently worked as an account services intern with OBI Creative in Omaha, Nebraska. Outside of his professional endeavors, John Morgan enjoys following the success of Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.

Recognized the world over as an NBA champion and two-time league MVP, Stephen Curry ranks among the most serially underrated players coming out of high school. Standing 6-foot-1 and weighing in at just 160 pounds, Curry was written off by college coaches across the nation as too small to make it in the college game. Recognized as a good shooter and ball handler, coaches felt that Curry simply could not handle the physicality of basketball at the next level.

Passed over by major programs such as Virginia Tech, Curry eventually landed at Davidson College, where head coach Bob McKillop saw an immense potential in the young recruit. Curry quickly became a star at Davidson, guiding the mid-major school to an NCAA tournament berth in his freshman year and leading a memorable charge to the Elite Eight in his sophomore year. The rest, as they say, is history.
