“Stephen Curry loves golf.
Just the last few months of his life have been evidence of that. The three-time NBA champion and Golden State Warriors star is fresh off an appearance at the Web.com Tour, where he pledged $25,000 to a pro golfer's wife's cancer battle. He made his annual trip to the celebrity golf tournament before that. And he even managed to play some quality holes during the Warriors' sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2018 NBA Finals.
Golf, however, is what might have prompted teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves to pass on him back in the 2009 draft.
Curry went seventh overall in that draft, behind back-to-back point-guard picks by the Wolves -- Ricky Rubio at No. 5 and Jonny Flynn at No. 6. And now, years later, the three-point specialist has revealed a story he once heard about why then-Minnesota executive David Kahn opted to steer clear of Curry despite two opportunities to take him."
