Younger Bro…

Stephen Curry, Dell Curry, and Seth Curry

by Kesean Cooper

Seth Curry is the new point guard for the Sacramento Kings, with point guard Rajon Rondo and power forward DeMarcus Cousins as his teammates. Seth Curry is the son of former NBA player Dell Curry and the brother of Stephen Curry, who plays on Golden State Warriors.

Seth Curry once played on the Golden State Warriors with his brother, but unfortunately he wasn’t good enough yet so they sent him back to the D-league. Stephen Curry and the Warriors won the NBA Championship in 2015, and now it’s time for Seth to be just like his older brother. Some people wonder if Seth will come back strong during the 2015-16 season and show who is the better Curry brother.

Seth Curry was born on August 23, 1990 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended University Duke before going to the D-league and playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors. Seth has been in the NBA several times; he has been on the Memphis Grizzles, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Phoenix Suns. After he had been on all these teams, he was not good enough to play pro so they sent him back to the D-league. When he returned to the Santa Cruz Warriors, he along with his wingman Mychel Thompson (who is the brother of Steph Curry’s Splash Brother, Klay Thompson) won a D-League championship. Seth’s father Dell Curry played for many different NBA teams, and supported Seth & Steph while he was in the D-league. During college and his D-league career he averaged 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.

As I watched highlights of Seth Curry in the 2015-16 summer league with the New Orleans Pelicans, I noticed that he has a good reverse layup and floater. He can beat players off the dribble and go in for the score. Seth also has a good pull-up jumper, he is able to break down the defender and knock down the jumper. While I was watching his Duke highlights from 2012-13, he shot way more from downtown then he did in the summer league. If Seth Curry shows this talent in the NBA with the Kings, he could bring them far in the playoffs–maybe even an NBA title.

 

Why the Golden State Warriors are my favorite NBA team

These are four of the Warriors’ best players.

My favorite team is the Golden State Warriors.They are my favorite team because they have good players, like David Lee, Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, and Andrew Bogut.

My favorite player on the Golden State Warriors is Stephen Curry. His height is 6’3” and his weight is 185 pounds, and he is a point guard. He was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2009. In 2012-2013, Curry made 272 three pointers, which was an NBA single season record. His three-point percentage(.453),he was ranked in third place in the NBA. In one game against the New York Knicks, he scored 54 points in the Knicks’ home stadium. He made 11 three pointers in 13 attempts. They couldn’t handle him. It was a Warriors record,on just 13 three-pointers.In 2012-13, the Golden State Warriors were 47-35 and went to the playoffs. Stephen Curry helped them go to the second round, where they lost to the Spurs in that round. They lost, but at least they were able to win 2 games in the series.

This season, Stephen Curry is having his best year so far. All of his statistics have improved. He is averaging 23.5 points per game, 9.2 assists per game and 4.6 rebounds per game. He is getting more minutes, playing 37.9 minutes per game. Even Kevin Durant said he was “one of the best shooters” in the NBA. The Golden State Warriors are also doing well this season. Their record is 26-17, and they are in second place in the Pacific Division and sixth place in the Western Conference. This season they’re even better than in 2012-2013. They are really improving as a team.
