I still remember arguing with my friends in college that Curry was going to be a star in the league after watching this tourney run. 12 years later I still have the bragging rights on this prediction.

“Look at curry man so inspirational” 😂😂😂

Curry doing the same stuff in the league at a higher level

17:36 Bron sitting there not knowing he gonna lose to him three times in the finals lmao

This actually might be the greatest ncaa tournament run by an individual player in history. Steph owned this tournament and it looked so effortless.

13 years later he is the greatest shooter to ever live.

Imagine being Minnesota’s scouting department... watching curry do all of these amazing plays, especially while trailing.... then proceed to draft both Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn instead.

This guy might make the league one day

This Davidson team really worked together to get Steph the shot they wanted him to have within the offense. Nothing looks forced. This young steph led team was well coached.

As a Wisconsin fan, I'll never forget being so happy Davidson beat Georgetown thinking it made our trip to the final four much easier and possible... little did I know Curry was about to embarrass us lol

"Young fella'!" "Folks! WE GOT A STAR!" "BIG. TIME. PLAYER." Gus Johnson = March Madness.

I remember this March Madness. I knew of him and had seen his highlights but I never followed him. He averaged like 35-38 points in the tournament. I knew he would be good. I never thought he would be as good as he is. He's the best shooter I've ever seen in my life....

The greatest sound in sports is the snap of the net on a basketball shot that doesn't touch any rim. As a Warriors fan, I'd like to thank Steph for all the sound memories.

Still to this day. There has never been a better tournament. It gives me chills to see L.B.J in the stands and to know those competed in the finals three times in a row 😮.

18:05 is some young basketball genius. slow trots back to offense until he notices his defender take his eyes off him, then full out sprints to the hoop. this clip should be shown to every kid learning the game.

He probably would have went first overall if they could have found a uniform for him that wasn’t XXL at Davidson.

And now he’s a 4 time champion and best shooter to ever live

Timberwolves passed on him twice 🤦‍♂️

There's a perfect arch for his career. start from the bottom: 2008 vs gonzaga reached to the top: 2015 finals game 6 the same throw from same spot at the end of the games satisfying moment there. Chills

He was an "unconscious" shooter. They're still hoping and praying that he wakes from his "coma"..12 years later. Lol.

And the crazy thing about this run is, the teams that Steph and Davidson faced in this run, all of them had (or, in Gonzaga's case, have since) made Final Fours and the last three all won NCAA titles. That's an amazing fact that everybody doesn't seem to realize about this run.

crazy how he went on to one of the greatest of all time.

The announcers blaming curry at the end for giving the ball up😂😂 he’s got like 2 people twice his size double penetrating him

The best NCAA tournament ever by a player from a mid major hands down! Probably will never be done again like that. The range was crazy!!! NO FEAR!!!

Sorry for the bad quality of the second game, there was literally no other footage of that game online.

5:32 young Seth Curry🤣

When I first started watching Steph and haven't looked back since...

Thirteen Years after I first viewed this incredible, inspirational run, I stumbled on it again. I remember watching the Gonzaga game in 2008 and the initial Curry explosion and saying "Dell's son. Yup. NBA for Sure." and then "This guy's gonna go on a roll.". DAMN, BACK THEN I WAS SPOT ON. When they beat Georgetown I said to my boys "Stephen Curry's gonna scare the living crap out of Kansas in the Elite Eight." I knew they would beat Wisconsin easily (Big Ten. Always too slow defensively, I thought years ago.) and I had my heart in my chest watching the Kansas Highlights as I did that Sunday Afternoon when I was so hopeful for Curry and Davidson. You felt Bill Self's fear when he tried many defensive schemes. Nothing worked. Rush couldn't stop him, nor could Chalmers or the Amoeba Trick D/Box and One. As I watched Davidson go toe-to-toe with the perennial heavyweight I kept thinking years ago, "They need one more player." Sadly, the last shot proved me right. The broadcast team was ridiculous to think that the Jayhawks were gonna let Curry get that shot off; they threw the kitchen sink at the kid. Now I bet CHEF CURRY, the TWO-TIME MVP/THREE TIME CHAMPION WITH UNLIMITED RANGE WOULD HAVE BEATEN THE CRAZY D, but not that guy, that day. And in hindsight, I'm glad, because I bet any amount of money because of that moment, today we see the greatest shooter the game has ever known with a sick ball handle.

Those first 2 games were basically home games. Curry is from Charlotte and was playing in Raleigh. The whole state was rooting for him. See all the Carolina fans were hype! #StephCurryWitTheShot

You see, there’s NBA ready players in college which you can see it when you watch those players play. But watching Curry in college was something else entirely. You could already see that what he was doing was beyond anything basketball had ever seen. And you’d be right because he has changed the NBA

Steph can carry a team and put it to relevance like he did with Davidson. And GS on top as the most valued franchise right now.

Discovered him in accident while waiting for the next Derrick Rose game while he was on Memphis straight dominating.They were showing highlights of the Gonzaga game before the Georgetown game.... been a fan ever since 💯

Dude is so agile with a fast release. What a nightmare for defenses.

I am sure Curry was content with his decision to make the final pass. What a humbling moment to pass it to a team-mate when it's for the good of the team

Kid seems pretty good. I could see him being a solid nba player

All this time i thought mark jackson or Steve kerr created a system for steph but... They running the SAME exact sets from currys days at DAVIDSON . i love it

Damn. I watched the whole thing

A lot of people don’t remember this, but I remember my older brother told about this kid and watching this tourney run with him and my pop and we were all in awe..been my favorite player all time ever since

Look at Curry man such an inspiration

I remember telling my friends to look out for him in the previous year's NCAA tournament. He did well but lost in the opening round against Maryland. Then this year came and I was so happy he did so well

Watching this again after all these years and remembering how crazy his run was. You can see flashes of how he plays now. Thanks Steph for bring 4 chips to the Bay!!

I would like to see a 30-30 type movie from the perspective of opponent players, coaches, scouts and trainers during this tournament run. What did they think of the team’s run, Curry’s ability before the tournament, during the tournament, and the game itself?

It was during this tournament that I found out that his dad was Del Curry of Virginia tech in that early 80's Era. I saw him go head to head, shot for shot, Mano to Mano against the famous Dr. dunkinstien, Darrell Griffin ofLouisville and never forgot how del was so ultra smooth. It made total sense that steph was a chip off the old block

stephen curry so inspiring and motivating

Watching Curry at Davidson gives me the same feeling when i watched Randy Moss at Marshall. Just generational talent.

Everybody thinking Curry wouldn’t be successful because of his size then he proves them all wrong and becomes one of the best shooters in NBA history. True inspiration for all the smaller guys

I REMEMBER THIS SEASON AND TOURNAMENT VIVIDLY BECAUSE I BET GAMES. I REMEMBER BEING SO AMAZED BY STEPH I KNEW HE WAS GONNA BE A GREAT PLAYER IN THE NBA. HE WAS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERY OTHER COLLEGE PLAYER

One day this guy gonna be a champ

This shit still give me chills !! I remember this whole run like it was yesterday. I was in like the 6th grade

Facts he’s the best shooter of all times

I remember watching this tournament and thinking man this kid is lights out everytime he shoots. It was hard to see he'd turn out to be the greatest shooter ever and a 4 time champ.

Lebron was enjoying this, ignoring that his turn will come...ignoring that because of this Curry, his title of GOAT will always be contested (as compared to MJ🏀🏆).

Steph has come a long way and has shown his worth with his hard work to get where he is today

This guy he changed the game on Nba! Stephen Curry is Great!!

I love watching Curry college highlights. Amazing

So happy to have found this video!!! He's so young..so amazing Already 👍

17:30 LeBron there, no idea yet how many NBA finals battle he will have with Curry (mostly losing)

Remember watching him live at ford field...damn what a performance

First time ive seen Steph's collegiate games. Even before his NBA career, he was already a deadly and terrorizing other teams with his extraordiray skills. His performance before compared to his present ones are almost the same. What has changed is his youthfulness. iF i have not seen the present, i can still say he is a shoe in to the NBA and most of all a great attraction to the league. Best shooter and a remarkable player in NBA history. One of my favorite to have donned the basketball jersey.

2x MVP and 3x NBA Champion for a reason!! underdog mentality 💯

I wonder if the Warriors scouting department was at these games??? Or if they watched the tapes before drafting Curry, weighing the pros and cons of drafting him....4 championships later I'm glad they did!!!

17:35 lebrons watchings his future rival.

What amazes me about this is the fact that he's still the same today. The comments from the commentators on his shots and assists are still the same. I just watched the clip of his jersey being retired at Davidson. He is still the same basketball player today as he was in high school. I never get tired of watching his highlights.

Huge game for him. Just amazing 🤘🙌🙏🤙

This was one of the longest sustained shooting zones I have ever seen!!!!

the way Curry played at that time is very similar to Klay thompson nowadays in Warriors

LOOK AT CURRY MAN WHAT A LEGEND SO INSPIRATIONAL WHAT A LEGEND - Flight

I think this guy might eventually be one of the greatest shootera ever. A stretch i know, but possible.

I think this kid can break the NBA 3 point record someday

Double throwback: Seth in the audience watching Steph in Dell's footsteps (5:58)- now in the footsteps of both of them. 🙂

I swear his mom hasn’t aged a day

Look at curry man, so inspirational

It kills me everytime I think about my beloved Memphis Grizzlies passing on Steph Curry in the draft....Wow.

He's NBA caliber. Hope he makes it.

I remember well, as I watched him destroy my Badgers team. He was so quick, like lightning. He seemed to never miss he was playing his own game at times. The only thing I questioned and told everyone that day at the tavern lol I said he will be an unbelievable superstar if he can stay healthy, we all questioned his size and durability. Well he proved he's stronger than I and allot of people thought. Best shooter I personally ever witnessed he reminds me of Larry Bird.

Crazy you can see the magic he had so early on

He was ridiculous I do not remember that

another NBA championship for curry 👌

Curry inspirational man.

i needed this in my life #thankyouchefcurry

been the best player at every level of the sport. All-time stuff.

The guy's amazing 👌he could be a high draft pick in the NBA 🙌

Little did we know he would be 10 all time and change the game forever.

Legend Curry!

Pretty good, hope he get into the draft, probably a third rounder

Remember when March Madness was a thing?

Thank you

Look at curry man so inspirational

Thanks Minnesota for picking two players and he wasn't one from a Oakland CA native appreciate that lol three chips later I'm 41 saw all the wrong moves we have made finally something good Klay too

LeBron just sitting there not knowing this kid is going to steal his chips is the best part

And now he is the 3 point king in the NBA and he is the best shooter that ever live.

He had no shot at the end with time expiring. He had no choice. What a great run. Great video.

This just goes to show that no matter where u go for college sports, as long as u put ur mind to it, u can become something great

Too bad for those first 6 teams that passed on Chef Curry. Obviously their scouts couldn't tell what was brewing in the pot nor did they know the type of ingredients needed for greatness!!

Look at curry man what an inspiration

Thanks for sharing

Had Curry recognized that #23 on Kansas fell he would have went right and had a deep 3 off that screen. Oh well he went on to win much bigger things.

Lebron watched him play cus he knew he would also be one of the greats

Look at Curry men so inspirational
