The answer is 3 seasons as Curry left Davidson after his Junior year. His final season saw Davidson not even make the NCAA Tournament and Curry subsequently decided to go pro.

2) Where is the furthest that Steph went in the NCAA Basketball tournament?

Davidson lost to the Kansas Jayhawks in the Elite Eight in the 2008 tournament. The Jayhawks would subsequently go on to win the championship that year.

The quiz answer was 6-10 as Curry was selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors. Blake Griffin, Hasheem Thabeet, James Harden, Tyreke Evans, Ricky Rubio, and Jonny Flynn are the only people who were drafted ahead of him. Other big names in that draft include DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, and Jeff Teague. You should also check out our James Harden quiz to test your knowledge of his NBA career so far.

Some Additional Steph Curry Facts

Here are some extra tidbits that we couldn’t find any room for on our Stephen Curry quiz. This includes some notes on his younger days, his family life and his career earnings.

Steph Curry’s Younger Days

Here are some additional tidbits about Steph as a youngster:

Curry attended the Queensway Christian College in Toronto while he was in grade 8. This was because his Dad, Dell Curry, was playing for the Toronto Raptors at the time. Steph led the team to an undefeated season.

While living in Toronto, Steph also played for the ‘Toronto 5-0’ team and traveled all the way across Canada.

Curry originally wanted to play for Virginia Tech because both of his parents went to the school. This didn’t end up happening as they only offered him a spot as a walk-on. As a result, Curry went to Davidson and had a solid career for the University.

Curry is one of only 6 NBA players to come out of Davidson. That shortlist includes Dick Snyder, Fred Hetzel, Mike Maloy, Brandon Williams, and Rod Knowles.

Curry finished his college career as Davidson’s all-time leading scorer with 2,635 total points. This is really impressive considering that he holds the record and didn’t even play his Senior season.

On Twitter, Curry revealed that his favorite childhood memory was the time he got on stage with the hip-hop group, Kriss Kross.

Steph Curry’s Family Life

In an interview, Sonya revealed that she fines her son $100 per turnover that he commits during a game. Since Steph is competitive, he takes this as a challenge to try and keep his turnovers per low.
