I don't watch the NBA (prefer college)but know Steph Curry because he's from Charlotte. They're good people.

1. Nice!

Trump will probably tweet something nasty.

2. and he played at Davidson in Charlotte

He is still revered there. In a close race in NC, this could help.

3. Not A Surprise

Curry has been fairly vocal about his opinion on PINO! Remember zero Warriors went to the WH when they won their 3rd title, and Steph didn't go for any of the titles when PINO was in office.
And, unlike PINO, Steph is going to be an actual billionaire in a few years.
Before he's 40!

10. He's a scatch golfer too, could make it on the golf tour.

11. Needs Work On Putting

Which he obviously could do. We know his hand/eye coordination is off the charts.
He also could use distance, and he is aware.
But, the kind of training for those muscles could affect fast twitch muscles ideal for shooting.
While he's making $100 million/year for being the best shooter ever, I think he's making a wise choice.

12. Oh, yeah. He should keep his day job for sure. Maybe the senior tour later.

16. There is light years between scratch and the PGA Tour

I don't think the typical fan realizes how awesome the pros are. It is multiple deviations from scratch.

I've watched the amateur golf for 3 decades, mostly on television but also several times in person, including Lake Tahoe and recently the Orlando Diamond Resorts event in 2019 and 2020. It was in January so completed before coronavirus. The only guy out there who has ever struck me as close to PGA level is Mardy Fish. He has the tempo and the shot variance and the ball flight and the course management. Also the touch and the patience and even the mannerisms. None of this is surprising because Fish was a long time top tennis pro.

However, Mardy Fish is an absolutely dreadful putter. Beyond dreadful. That's why he rarely wins the celebrity events even though when you follow the group in person there is no comparison between his game and guys like John Smoltz or Mark Mulder, who are normally the chief competitors. Smoltz is the best at maximizing score.

17. My point is if Curry, with his hand-eye cooridination and athletic ability, took up golfing...

full time he could make it to the tour. He might not get to the Tiger Woods or Mcilroy level, but he could get there. Just being a scratch golf is an accomplishment as the leader boards show many tour players post scores over par.

4. Holey Moley!

7. I see what you did there

That show was entertaining for a few episodes but got old pretty quickly. It was similar to Wipeout but didn't hold my attention as well.

The Rob Riggle commentary was the best part.

14. I love that show!

Yeah, it's a little old, but it makes for good background entertainment.

5. I LOVE this... and I'm not even a big basketball fan, but I follow him.

6. Nice contrast

To Curt Schilling having just been arrested for Bannon issue!

Disgrace to baseball!

[octoberlib]

8. Curt Schilling was arrested too?! Can't think of anyone who deserved it more.

Besides Trump.
