[sirens wailing]

4
00:00:44,545 --> 00:00:50,050
[Anderson] The Warriors, the Knicks,
from Madison Square Garden in New York.

5
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:53,011
Brian Anderson along with
the Hall of Famer Reggie Miller.

6
00:00:53,095 --> 00:00:55,472
An honor to be here tonight on this night

7
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:58,308
when Stephen Curry
is on the doorstep of history.

8
00:00:58,392 --> 00:01:00,519
And an honor to be next to you
on this night…

9
00:01:00,602 --> 00:01:05,566
Knick hats, guys.
Knick hats. Hats, guys. Knick hats.

10
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,569
[vendor] History--
History in the making right here.

11
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:12,114
Steph Curry is going to break
the record for the most three-pointers.

12
00:01:12,823 --> 00:01:14,575
This is the night he's gonna do it.

13
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:25,586
[Miller] Okay.

14
00:01:28,297 --> 00:01:29,631
Tell me when y'all are ready.

15
00:01:30,674 --> 00:01:32,676
[fans cheering]

16
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:39,766
[Miller] "Far below NBA standard in regard
to explosiveness and athleticism."

17
00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:47,107
"At 6'2", he's extremely small
for the NBA shooting guard position.

18
00:01:47,983 --> 00:01:50,986
Do not rely on him to run your team."

19
00:01:55,657 --> 00:01:58,702
"Can overshoot and rush into shots.

20
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:02,915
Doesn't like when defenses
are too physical with him.

21
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:09,713
Not a great finisher around the basket
due to his size and physical attributes.

22
00:02:10,756 --> 00:02:14,009
Needs to add some muscle
to his upper body,

23
00:02:14,718 --> 00:02:18,055
but appears as though
he'll always be skinny."

24
00:02:22,017 --> 00:02:26,396
That was the draft report
on Stephen Curry.

25
00:02:33,028 --> 00:02:35,030
[Miller] Look at the fans as they rise up

26
00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:38,158
as Curry
is bringing the basketball up here.

27
00:02:39,785 --> 00:02:42,079
Everyone here is standing
to witness history.

28
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:55,259
[Anderson] For the record!

29
00:02:56,677 --> 00:02:59,721
-[fans cheering, shouting]
-[Anderson] It's good! There it is!

30
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:06,061
Stephen Curry!
The all-time three-point king of the NBA!

31
00:03:09,982 --> 00:03:11,984
Stephen Curry stands alone

32
00:03:12,067 --> 00:03:15,696
as the most dominant distance shooter
the game has ever seen.

33
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:20,200
2,974 threes and counting.

34
00:03:20,284 --> 00:03:22,703
[cheering continues]

35
00:03:42,681 --> 00:03:44,725
[squeals, laughs]

36
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:48,270
Pointer three-god for real, son.

37
00:03:52,274 --> 00:03:53,859
[Stephen Curry] Silver fox.

38
00:03:54,985 --> 00:03:56,737
I had the green light tonight.

39
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:59,740
-The license to shoot.
-You have the license. [chuckles]

40
00:04:01,116 --> 00:04:03,535
-All right, get the fuck outta here, bro.
-[Durant laughs]

41
00:04:03,619 --> 00:04:06,955
Sorry for my lang--
Sorry for my language, Mama. I'm so sorry.

42
00:04:07,623 --> 00:04:09,333
[speaks indistinctly]
…came over here, bro. Like…

43
00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:11,168
I had to come over here and say what's up.

44
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:12,085
Love you, brother.

45
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:17,173
Love you too, dawg. Yo. [chuckles]
I keep on telling you, dawg.

46
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:18,759
Remember the time
you thought I was a little white kid?

47
00:04:18,841 --> 00:04:20,552
[both laughing]

48
00:04:20,636 --> 00:04:22,930
[Durant] I think about that shit
all the time, yo. [inhales sharply]

49
00:04:23,013 --> 00:04:26,183
I mean, who knew this shit ten years ago?
[chuckles] Now you that guy.

50
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,393
-It's-- It's crazy.
-Nothing about it makes any sense.

51
00:04:28,477 --> 00:04:29,937
Embrace that shit.

52
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:31,313
-All right?
-All right. Absolutely.

53
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:32,981
-Good luck, brother.
-Appreciate it, man.

54
00:04:34,983 --> 00:04:37,069
-I love that dude, man.
-Dude.

55
00:04:37,152 --> 00:04:39,571
Most misunderstood dude
in the fricking league right there.

56
00:04:48,872 --> 00:04:51,500
[Stephen] I couldn't imagine
a better way to celebrate

57
00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:55,629
something that means so much to me,
to my family.

58
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:59,675
I could not have ever imagined,
like, this would be a reality.

59
00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:04,972
Um, and to know that everybody
in this room has had a part in my life,

60
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:07,140
my journey, in some way, shape or form--

61
00:05:07,224 --> 00:05:09,434
Like, y'all know what this means to me.
This number right here?

62
00:05:09,518 --> 00:05:14,690
[friends, family cheering]
Yeah, baby! Whoo! Yeah!

63
00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:19,570
[Stephen] It's a number, but it has
so much context, so much history,

64
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:22,656
and we all get to own that together,
so thank y'all so much.

65
00:05:22,739 --> 00:05:25,033
[cheering continues] Whoo!

66
00:05:37,254 --> 00:05:40,382
[Stephen]
I'm constantly trying to find the space

67
00:05:41,717 --> 00:05:45,596
just to be able to survey my life,
survey what's going on.

68
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:52,436
To let my mind think about
"How did I get here?"

69
00:05:57,816 --> 00:05:59,860
My mind goes back to those places.

70
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:03,780
And I think about everything.

71
00:06:28,597 --> 00:06:30,516
When I was nine years old,

72
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:34,686
I played on the ten-and-under AAU team
the Charlotte Stars.

73
00:06:36,271 --> 00:06:37,439
I remember looking around like,

74
00:06:37,523 --> 00:06:39,858
"Oh, I'm not as tall as him,
not as strong as him."

75
00:06:41,527 --> 00:06:44,071
I was the undersized scrawny kid
that was just trying to figure out

76
00:06:44,154 --> 00:06:46,240
how to make it
at whatever level I was playing.

77
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:48,575
[spectators shout, applaud]

78
00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:55,582
That was when I first
really understood I'm different.

79
00:06:57,835 --> 00:07:02,005
And the temptation for me at that time
was to think about what I couldn't do.

80
00:07:03,882 --> 00:07:05,509
But I knew I could shoot.

81
00:07:05,592 --> 00:07:08,804
That was part
of what I brought to the team.

82
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:10,222
[players chattering]

83
00:07:11,223 --> 00:07:14,268
[Sonya] Stephen! Good job, good job.

84
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,688
Stephen!

85
00:07:21,024 --> 00:07:22,276
[person] How old is he?

86
00:07:22,901 --> 00:07:26,154
[Sonya]
Fifteen. But he hasn't hit puberty yet.

87
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:28,740
[Sonya] I asked the doctor,
I was starting to get worried.

88
00:07:31,827 --> 00:07:33,370
[Stephen]
In my freshman year in high school,

89
00:07:33,912 --> 00:07:37,416
it was the first time I started
to think about, "What if I don't grow?"

90
00:07:39,501 --> 00:07:41,503
But also, like, "I know I can play."

91
00:07:46,842 --> 00:07:49,094
It never killed my love for the game.

92
00:07:50,429 --> 00:07:52,556
But it was a very difficult time,

93
00:07:53,724 --> 00:07:56,768
'cause I had to learn
how to embrace the challenge of it.

94
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:06,737
[Dell] His sophomore year, he said,
"I wanna play in college."

95
00:08:08,614 --> 00:08:10,866
He's, you know, probably, at that time,

96
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:15,621
5'10", 5'11". Skinny.

97
00:08:15,704 --> 00:08:17,206
He's shooting from his waist.

98
00:08:17,956 --> 00:08:20,334
You know, younger co-- in high school,
you can get away with that,

99
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,586
but I'm like, "Okay, if you wanna pl--
go to the next level,

100
00:08:23,712 --> 00:08:27,049
y-you gotta change your shot
from your waist. You gotta get up here."

101
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,885
[players chattering]

102
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:36,475
You gotta develop a totally different
set of muscles to make a change like that.

103
00:08:37,558 --> 00:08:39,645
[players chattering, shouting]

104
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:44,900
Stephen was all in for the idea of it,

105
00:08:44,983 --> 00:08:50,155
until Dell took him out in the back
and he had to start shooting.

106
00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:56,954
[Dell] It was a tough summer.
Me and Sonya, we both worked with him.

107
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:03,085
For probably the first week,
he's just shooting right under the basket.

108
00:09:03,961 --> 00:09:08,465
Shot after shot, for hours every day.

109
00:09:10,425 --> 00:09:12,386
[Stephen] I was lost for a while.

110
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:17,349
For three months, I literally
couldn't shoot outside of the paint.

111
00:09:19,601 --> 00:09:22,646
[Sonya] And he was just struggling.

112
00:09:23,272 --> 00:09:24,940
He was like, "I don't wanna do this.

113
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:28,902
Why do I have to do this?
I can't keep going."

114
00:09:30,445 --> 00:09:32,990
And I was like,
"So, you have a choice, Son.

115
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:34,575
You always have choices.

116
00:09:34,658 --> 00:09:38,954
If this is too frustrating for you
and you don't feel that it's valuable,

117
00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:42,916
stop now, go back to what you've--
how you've been shooting,

118
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,585
and let's move on with this thing.

119
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:49,923
But if you really are buying into
what your dad has prescribed for you,

120
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:52,092
keep going."

121
00:10:05,898 --> 00:10:08,108
[inhales deeply, exhaling sharply]

122
00:10:09,985 --> 00:10:12,279
Nice. Release there.

123
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:20,662
Three. Four. Four. Two.

124
00:10:23,415 --> 00:10:24,416
[Payne] Here we go.

125
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:29,713
[breathing heavily]

126
00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:33,967
[Payne] Add a tennis ball to that.

127
00:10:41,517 --> 00:10:42,559
That's it.

128
00:10:42,643 --> 00:10:45,312
[Stephen breathing deeply]

129
00:10:52,653 --> 00:10:53,654
[speaks indistinctly]

130
00:10:53,737 --> 00:10:54,821
SLDL.

131
00:10:56,573 --> 00:10:57,574
[Stephen exhales deeply]

132
00:11:04,373 --> 00:11:07,417
Forty-five. Forty-five. Here we go.

133
00:11:09,211 --> 00:11:10,587
Watch, watch, watch. Coming here.

134
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:12,464
[stammers] I got it.

135
00:11:12,548 --> 00:11:13,674
[speaks indistinctly]

136
00:11:17,219 --> 00:11:18,512
-[Stephen groans]
-[Payne] Minus one.

137
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:25,394
Even. Keep flowing. Just let it flow.

138
00:11:26,270 --> 00:11:27,896
-[assistant coach 1] Keep up. Keep going.
-[Payne] Lines.

139
00:11:29,147 --> 00:11:30,941
-Hustle.
-[assistant coach 2] Come on.

140
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:32,693
[assistant coach 1] Beat, one, two.

141
00:11:34,444 --> 00:11:37,698
-[Payne] Get in. Get in! Game.
-Come on! Hey!

142
00:11:38,448 --> 00:11:40,033
[Payne] Perfection to finish.

143
00:11:40,117 --> 00:11:41,118
[assistant coach 2] Yeah!

144
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:45,038
-Alternating range. Perfection to finish.
-[coaches cheering]

145
00:11:45,122 --> 00:11:48,375
Come on. Way to shoot it,
way to shoot it, way to shoot it.

146
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:49,835
Good job, man. Good job, man.

147
00:11:49,918 --> 00:11:50,961
[groans]

148
00:12:10,731 --> 00:12:11,899
[Harshaw] Hey, y'all.
Welcome to Rightnowish.

149
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:13,859
I'm your host, Pendarvis Harshaw.

150
00:12:13,942 --> 00:12:15,861
[newscaster 1] The Bay Bridge
still backed up to the overpasses,

151
00:12:15,944 --> 00:12:17,988
-and there's also a report of a cra--
-[radio frequency change]

152
00:12:18,071 --> 00:12:20,407
[announcer 1] 95.7 The Game.

153
00:12:21,617 --> 00:12:23,577
[sportscaster 1]
In an absolute clunker in the Big Easy,

154
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:28,123
the Warriors lose to the Pels 101-96.
They fall to 29-9.

155
00:12:28,707 --> 00:12:30,334
[sportscaster 2]
Should the Warriors be worried?

156
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:33,629
Since their first 20 games,
they have been significantly worse.

157
00:12:33,712 --> 00:12:36,215
-They're just not as dominant.
-[frequency change]

158
00:12:36,298 --> 00:12:38,467
[sportscaster 3] I just keep thinking back
to the young version of the Warriors

159
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:41,178
from a few years ago,
because they're not built the same way.

160
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:43,305
-It's just not the same team.
-[frequency change]

161
00:12:43,388 --> 00:12:46,350
[sportscaster 2]
And if Steph isn't gonna be MVP Steph,

162
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:49,728
I don't think that the Warriors
are legitimate contenders.

163
00:12:55,359 --> 00:12:56,693
[fans cheering]

164
00:13:11,917 --> 00:13:14,711
[announcer 1]
And starting at number 20 is a Junior.

165
00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:16,797
Steven Curry.

166
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:21,176
[person filming]
That's Stephen Curry, you bum.

167
00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:25,639
What?

168
00:13:27,558 --> 00:13:28,892
Man, that was nuts.

169
00:13:30,978 --> 00:13:32,896
Man, that is crazy. That is…

170
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:34,606
[buzzer sounds]

171
00:13:38,443 --> 00:13:41,947
[Brown] In my mind, I was thinking,
"Oh, that was interesting.

172
00:13:43,949 --> 00:13:45,492
He wasn't doing that last year.

173
00:13:46,076 --> 00:13:47,744
There's some improvement here.

174
00:13:49,246 --> 00:13:53,125
Look at his shot. Look at his pace.
Look at how he creates."

175
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:55,169
[fans cheering, applauding]

176
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:04,928
-[cheering continues]
-[announcer, on PA] Stephen Curry!

177
00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:11,185
[Brown] There is just an art to what
this kid is doing out on the floor,

178
00:14:11,810 --> 00:14:16,064
and there is a drive
to be the absolute best.

179
00:14:26,283 --> 00:14:28,619
[Stephen] I started to play
pretty well in my junior year.

180
00:14:30,329 --> 00:14:32,206
And it created a little bit of a buzz.

181
00:14:36,335 --> 00:14:38,629
I wanted nothing more
than to go to Virginia Tech.

182
00:14:41,298 --> 00:14:43,383
My mom and my dad both went there.

183
00:14:45,969 --> 00:14:48,430
My dad's jersey's hanging in the rafters.

184
00:14:50,057 --> 00:14:53,852
There was a lot of conversation around
"were they gonna recruit me?"

185
00:14:57,898 --> 00:15:00,234
[Dell] So, the Virginia Tech coach
came to the house.

186
00:15:02,277 --> 00:15:07,366
And he said, "You can definitely play.
No doubt. We see the skill.

187
00:15:10,118 --> 00:15:12,996
But we don't have a spot here.

188
00:15:14,623 --> 00:15:16,500
Well, he's too little.
He's gonna get pushed around.

189
00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:21,338
He's not big enough to play,
um, major D1 basketball."

190
00:15:25,259 --> 00:15:29,805
[Stephen] I think that speaks to
how much I didn't pass the height test.

191
00:15:33,976 --> 00:15:38,146
But I really felt like
I could play with all those guys,

192
00:15:39,106 --> 00:15:41,942
if I can just
get an opportunity somewhere.

193
00:15:45,028 --> 00:15:46,029
[whistle blows]

194
00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:50,242
-[Davidson coach] Hey, let's go!
-[whistle blows]

195
00:16:04,131 --> 00:16:06,258
[applause]

196
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:14,725
Well, today it was clear
you played as if it was not robotic,

197
00:16:14,808 --> 00:16:17,519
as if I'm not
trying to get through practice.

198
00:16:17,603 --> 00:16:21,190
It was as-- It was a gift. It was a gift
to have this opportunity to play,

199
00:16:21,273 --> 00:16:22,649
and that's the way you played today.

200
00:16:22,733 --> 00:16:26,278
So obviously you played well,
obviously you played with confidence,

201
00:16:26,361 --> 00:16:27,529
and obviously we got better.

202
00:16:27,613 --> 00:16:32,534
So we accomplished a lot today,
all because of your attitude. Tremendous.

203
00:16:32,618 --> 00:16:34,036
Okay, now we gotta keep this going.

204
00:16:34,119 --> 00:16:36,163
-One, two, three, TCC.
-[players, coaches] TCC!

205
00:16:36,246 --> 00:16:38,582
[all chatter indistinctly]

206
00:17:04,233 --> 00:17:08,694
[McKillop] In 2005, several stories
in The Charlotte Observer popped up

207
00:17:08,779 --> 00:17:12,574
about someone named Stephen Curry
playing for Charlotte Christian.

208
00:17:13,951 --> 00:17:15,536
We started to pay attention.

209
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:20,665
Not so much, uh,
as a high-profile focus of ours

210
00:17:20,749 --> 00:17:24,752
but someone
who we should just go and watch.

211
00:17:26,964 --> 00:17:29,424
[Matheny] Steph was mentioned as a player,

212
00:17:30,676 --> 00:17:31,844
but it wasn't like,

213
00:17:31,927 --> 00:17:34,972
"We have to go down to Charlotte Christian
and see Steph Curry play.

214
00:17:35,055 --> 00:17:38,141
You can't believe it when
you see him play." It was just a mention.

215
00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:43,814
[McKillop] I don't believe many schools
had walked in to watch Stephen play.

216
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:45,357
[fan 1] Yeah!

217
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:52,072
[McKillop]
But we watched. We saw. We liked.

218
00:17:59,288 --> 00:18:03,125
It was interesting,
because he missed shots,

219
00:18:04,168 --> 00:18:07,754
he made turnovers, he made bad plays.

220
00:18:09,715 --> 00:18:10,883
But he never stopped playing.

221
00:18:12,301 --> 00:18:16,346
The next opportunity he had,
he would make a spectacular play.

222
00:18:18,724 --> 00:18:23,020
He showed a real emotional toughness,
which is so rare.

223
00:18:25,063 --> 00:18:28,025
So, we decided that
we were gonna recruit him.

224
00:18:34,823 --> 00:18:38,368
[Matheny] In the beginning,
I remember having very good conversations

225
00:18:38,452 --> 00:18:43,081
with Steph about Davidson,
uh, about his game.

226
00:18:44,208 --> 00:18:45,959
So we were feeling really, really good.

227
00:18:49,171 --> 00:18:52,799
And then all of a sudden,
I couldn't get Steph on the phone.

228
00:18:56,261 --> 00:18:58,013
And I had the sense that, "Oh, no.

229
00:18:59,014 --> 00:19:02,142
That means all these colleges
are now getting involved,

230
00:19:02,226 --> 00:19:04,228
and it's starting to-- to blow up on us."

231
00:19:06,855 --> 00:19:08,273
So, I-I started to panic.

232
00:19:09,942 --> 00:19:11,985
I start reaching out
to his high school coach.

233
00:19:12,486 --> 00:19:15,239
I start reaching out to people around him.

234
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,407
And still nothing.

235
00:19:21,995 --> 00:19:26,667
And I-I finally, about ten days later,
get Steph on the phone.

236
00:19:27,793 --> 00:19:31,171
And he goes, "Yeah, Coach,
my mother took my phone away from me.

237
00:19:32,130 --> 00:19:36,134
A friend of mine text me a curse word.

238
00:19:37,469 --> 00:19:40,764
I-I didn't send the text.
A friend se-- sent a curse word to me,

239
00:19:40,848 --> 00:19:43,642
so my mother took my phone away
for two weeks."

240
00:19:44,393 --> 00:19:45,853
[chuckling]

241
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:49,231
-[referee] Let's go!
-[fans cheering, shouting]

242
00:19:51,775 --> 00:19:55,821
[Stephen] At that point, when I realized
that other offers weren't coming,

243
00:19:56,697 --> 00:20:00,158
it became very clear that
I was on a different journey.

244
00:20:00,242 --> 00:20:02,494
[announcer, on PA]
Three-point basket is good.

245
00:20:02,578 --> 00:20:06,331
But Coach McKillop painted a vision
of what Davidson could mean for me,

246
00:20:06,415 --> 00:20:09,626
what him coaching me could mean for me
reaching my full potential.

247
00:20:09,710 --> 00:20:12,129
[fans cheering, shouting]

248
00:20:12,212 --> 00:20:14,965
[McKillop]
That year, we were losing seven seniors.

249
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:20,304
And I think Stephen saw
an opportunity for himself

250
00:20:20,888 --> 00:20:23,182
and we told him about that opportunity.

251
00:20:23,891 --> 00:20:27,978
I think that excited him,
and that was even one more, um,

252
00:20:28,896 --> 00:20:31,940
piece of the puzzle for him
as he made his decision.

253
00:20:37,738 --> 00:20:39,823
So, Matt Matheny and I
drove into Charlotte,

254
00:20:40,824 --> 00:20:45,913
sat down with everyone together
to answer every question

255
00:20:45,996 --> 00:20:48,373
that they might have about Davidson.

256
00:20:50,167 --> 00:20:54,588
We were two or three minutes into,
uh, the conversation,

257
00:20:54,671 --> 00:20:56,590
and Steph said, "Stop.

258
00:20:57,883 --> 00:20:58,967
Coach, just stop a second."

259
00:21:01,011 --> 00:21:03,013
And he says, "I've made my decision.

260
00:21:04,139 --> 00:21:05,516
I wanna be a Wildcat."

261
00:21:06,016 --> 00:21:08,477
And we were like,
"Oh, my gosh, that's fantastic!"

262
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,604
We were dancing in the living room.

263
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:13,023
There was a shot of adrenaline.

264
00:21:13,607 --> 00:21:14,608
There was, um,

265
00:21:15,859 --> 00:21:18,695
the sense that
we just got a steal. [chuckles]

266
00:21:18,779 --> 00:21:20,948
No one knows how good this guy's gonna be.

267
00:21:21,448 --> 00:21:23,617
He is a perfect fit for what we do.

268
00:21:25,410 --> 00:21:29,540
[Stephen] So, before Coach left,
my mom thanked him for the opportunity.

269
00:21:30,374 --> 00:21:31,834
And the last thing she said was,

270
00:21:31,917 --> 00:21:33,961
"Don't worry, Coach,
we'll fatten him up for you."

271
00:21:34,795 --> 00:21:37,714
And Coach turned around
and looked at her and was like,

272
00:21:37,798 --> 00:21:41,009
"Don't-- Don't worry about that.
We'll take him just the way he is."

273
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:45,389
That gave me so much confidence
in terms of his appreciation for,

274
00:21:46,431 --> 00:21:47,808
uh, what I bring to the table.

275
00:21:48,392 --> 00:21:49,393
Like…

276
00:21:50,644 --> 00:21:53,480
I'm different,
but I have something to-- to offer.

277
00:21:58,986 --> 00:21:59,987
I felt great.

278
00:22:01,196 --> 00:22:03,824
I really felt like
I had made the right decision.

279
00:22:03,907 --> 00:22:05,909
[crowd chattering]

280
00:22:05,993 --> 00:22:09,496
So, I went to watch a school football game
two or three days later,

281
00:22:10,664 --> 00:22:12,499
and I told, like, all my friends, like,

282
00:22:12,583 --> 00:22:15,169
"Yo, I-- I know where
I'm going to school next year.

283
00:22:16,170 --> 00:22:17,337
I'm going to Davidson."

284
00:22:19,047 --> 00:22:21,675
And nobody knew where it was.
[chuckles] It was like--

285
00:22:22,509 --> 00:22:25,929
like, that hype in that moment
for me was so dope,

286
00:22:26,013 --> 00:22:28,932
and then nobody could really meet me
on that level emotionally,

287
00:22:29,016 --> 00:22:30,893
like, to celebrate it with me. [chuckles]

288
00:22:40,819 --> 00:22:42,070
[relative 1] Look at this one.

289
00:22:45,991 --> 00:22:50,954
[Sonya] I remember when Coach McKillop
came to recruit Stephen at the house…

290
00:22:51,038 --> 00:22:52,039
[relative 2] Mm-hmm.

291
00:22:52,122 --> 00:22:56,877
…one of the things that he said, um,
to Stephen was,

292
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,879
"I can get you on stage.

293
00:22:58,962 --> 00:23:00,839
-It's up to you what you'll do."
-[Mercedes] Hmm.

294
00:23:01,673 --> 00:23:03,342
[Sonya] What I liked so much is that

295
00:23:03,425 --> 00:23:05,928
it's not even necessarily about
proving other people wrong.

296
00:23:06,011 --> 00:23:07,804
-It's about proving…
-[Mercedes] It's himself.

297
00:23:07,888 --> 00:23:09,806
-…himself right.
-[Lexus] Exactly. Yep.

298
00:23:09,890 --> 00:23:12,309
[relative 3]
It was just, like, a different time.

299
00:23:12,392 --> 00:23:13,810
-[Lexus] Yeah.
-You know?

300
00:23:13,894 --> 00:23:16,438
He was so itty-bitty

301
00:23:16,522 --> 00:23:18,607
-and everybody was picking on him…
-[Mercedes] Mm-hmm.

302
00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:21,235
-…talking about he was too small to play.
-[Mercedes] Mmm.

303
00:23:21,318 --> 00:23:23,695
[Candy] You remember when the man
was up in the stands,

304
00:23:23,779 --> 00:23:25,656
and he was calling them punks and stuff?

305
00:23:25,739 --> 00:23:27,950
-I said, "Say one more thing…
-[Mercedes giggles]

306
00:23:28,033 --> 00:23:30,035
-…I'ma bust you in your mouth."
-[Sonya laughs]

307
00:23:30,118 --> 00:23:32,412
-I was gonna climb over that seat.
-[Mercedes, Sonya laughs]

308
00:23:32,496 --> 00:23:34,665
-[Mercedes] Not climb over the seat.
-[Candy] I told him,

309
00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:37,584
-"Don't talk about my grandson."
-[Mercedes, Sonya, Lexus laughing]

310
00:23:37,668 --> 00:23:39,920
-I remember.
-"Don't talk about my grandson."

311
00:23:40,003 --> 00:23:42,005
[Mercedes, Lexus, Candy chuckling]

312
00:23:45,425 --> 00:23:48,387
[Sonya] Remember I used to say
he looked like the Cabbage Patch doll?

313
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:50,973
[Mercedes, Lexus giggle]

314
00:23:53,267 --> 00:23:56,228
[Sonya] He was definitely
an unplanned pregnancy.

315
00:23:56,895 --> 00:23:58,981
'Cause I wanted
to get through college first.

316
00:23:59,773 --> 00:24:01,984
And then I brought Stephen back with me,

317
00:24:02,067 --> 00:24:03,402
-Seth back.
-[Mercedes] Mm-hmm.

318
00:24:03,485 --> 00:24:08,740
Stephen was two and a half,
and he turned three when I graduated.

319
00:24:08,824 --> 00:24:10,784
[Lexus] How'd you have time
for homework? [giggles]

320
00:24:10,868 --> 00:24:12,160
-I know.
-[Lexus] You just did it.

321
00:24:12,244 --> 00:24:14,538
You just did it.
I really wanted to get my degree.

322
00:24:14,621 --> 00:24:17,374
-I get emotional thinking about it.
-[Lexus] Mm-hmm. Definitely.

323
00:24:17,457 --> 00:24:21,044
[Sonya] I was the first one in my family
to get my degree,

324
00:24:21,128 --> 00:24:25,090
and to me it was always like
something was unfinished.

325
00:24:29,761 --> 00:24:34,725
When Stephen decided to
declare for the NBA a year early,

326
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:36,977
I wanted him to really understand

327
00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:39,271
how important it was
for him to get his degree.

328
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:41,481
But then also,

329
00:24:41,565 --> 00:24:46,570
Stephen is the only player
who has not gotten their degree

330
00:24:46,653 --> 00:24:48,906
under the tutelage of Coach McKillop.

331
00:24:49,656 --> 00:24:53,410
So, it has been a--
a thorn in his side from me.

332
00:24:53,493 --> 00:24:57,497
Um, and then he'll be like,
"I just won three championships."

333
00:24:57,581 --> 00:24:58,957
-And I'm like…
-[Lexus chuckles]

334
00:24:59,041 --> 00:25:01,919
…"You're right.
Now get the diploma championship."

335
00:25:02,002 --> 00:25:04,421
[all laughing]

336
00:25:12,971 --> 00:25:13,972
[door shuts]

337
00:25:15,390 --> 00:25:16,767
-[child 1] Daddy?
-[Stephen] Yes?

338
00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:19,061
-Can I get a snack?
-A snack?

339
00:25:19,144 --> 00:25:20,687
-Yeah.
-Yes. You can get a snack.

340
00:25:20,771 --> 00:25:22,231
Like, a tomato or something.

341
00:25:22,314 --> 00:25:24,316
[Curry family chattering]

342
00:25:33,367 --> 00:25:35,369
[keyboard clacking]

343
00:25:35,911 --> 00:25:40,123
Oh, man, if y'all would've saw me
in summer school 2012.

344
00:25:40,207 --> 00:25:42,709
During a lockout,
my second year in the league,

345
00:25:44,044 --> 00:25:49,091
pulling up to Davidson's campus
in a G-Wagen at 8:00 a.m. [chuckles]

346
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:54,137
And then the lockout ended abruptly,
and that's why it's an incomplete now.

347
00:25:55,138 --> 00:25:57,140
Couldn't get through the first semester.

348
00:25:57,724 --> 00:25:59,351
[laptop chiming]

349
00:26:00,185 --> 00:26:01,311
[laptop chiming]

350
00:26:01,395 --> 00:26:03,063
[instructor] Hi. How are y'all doing?

351
00:26:03,146 --> 00:26:04,398
Hello. How are you?

352
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,650
[child 1] That's my doctor.

353
00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:09,486
-Yeah, I'm doing okay. [chuckles]
-[Stephen, relative 4 chuckles]

354
00:26:11,446 --> 00:26:14,032
-[Kaufman] No, not that kind of doctor.
-[Stephen laughs]

355
00:26:14,116 --> 00:26:15,659
-[Stephen] Can you say hi?
-[Kaufman] Hi.

356
00:26:15,742 --> 00:26:16,910
[Stephen] That's the crew.

357
00:26:16,994 --> 00:26:19,246
-Canon, Riley and Ryan.
-He's in third grade.

358
00:26:19,329 --> 00:26:21,957
-[stammers] No, he's--
-[Kaufman] Oh, they are adorable.

359
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,418
-Canon is not in third-- What's Canon in?
-Preschool.

360
00:26:24,501 --> 00:26:25,961
-[Kaufman chuckles]
-Yes.

361
00:26:26,753 --> 00:26:30,382
Um, I'm glad to catch up though.
I know we've got a lot to talk about.

362
00:26:30,465 --> 00:26:33,218
[Kaufman] Yes. So, is this the year?

363
00:26:33,302 --> 00:26:34,386
I-- I-- I hope so.

364
00:26:34,469 --> 00:26:36,471
[Kaufman]
You're going to finish your degree?

365
00:26:37,097 --> 00:26:39,683
Is there a particular reason
you wanna do it now?

366
00:26:40,767 --> 00:26:45,856
For one, for my kids to see the process,
um, now that they're a little older

367
00:26:45,939 --> 00:26:50,194
and know-- um, you know,
how-- how important this is.

368
00:26:50,277 --> 00:26:55,365
But also, I kinda got a gr-- a handle on
everything on the court and off the court

369
00:26:55,449 --> 00:26:59,661
more than I think I ever have and so,
trying to, uh, not let this drift on,

370
00:26:59,745 --> 00:27:00,829
you know, any longer.

371
00:27:01,788 --> 00:27:03,123
[Kaufman] Well, that's great.

372
00:27:03,207 --> 00:27:08,086
So, next up, you'll be sending me
some ideas for writing a thesis.

373
00:27:08,754 --> 00:27:10,380
Absolutely. Thanks, Dr. Kaufman.

374
00:27:11,006 --> 00:27:12,549
-Okay. See ya.
-See you later.

375
00:27:15,093 --> 00:27:16,220
-Daddy.
-[Stephen] Yes.

376
00:27:16,303 --> 00:27:18,263
Wha-- What are you gonna do at school?

377
00:27:18,347 --> 00:27:20,349
[Stephen, relative laugh]

378
00:27:20,432 --> 00:27:22,518
[relative] Oh, my God. [chuckles]

379
00:27:22,601 --> 00:27:23,810
You're not going to school?

380
00:27:23,894 --> 00:27:26,980
[Stephen] I am going to school now.
I'm going to school like you now.

381
00:27:28,148 --> 00:27:31,151
All righty… [sighs] …let the work begin.

382
00:27:41,662 --> 00:27:45,290
-[applause]
-[crowd cheering, whistling]

383
00:27:46,708 --> 00:27:49,419
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome to the floor

384
00:27:49,503 --> 00:27:56,343
your 2006-2007 Davidson Wildcats!

385
00:27:59,638 --> 00:28:03,851
[announcer] A 6'8" sophomore forward
from Benin City, Nigeria,

386
00:28:03,934 --> 00:28:07,646
number 41, Andrew Lovedale!

387
00:28:10,983 --> 00:28:14,361
A 6'2'' junior guard
from Barrington, Illinois,

388
00:28:14,444 --> 00:28:18,532
number two, Jason Richards!

389
00:28:21,410 --> 00:28:25,706
A 6-foot freshman guard
from Charlotte, North Carolina,

390
00:28:25,789 --> 00:28:29,376
number 30, Steph Curry!

391
00:28:42,639 --> 00:28:49,146
Introducing your 2006-2007
Davidson College basketball team!

392
00:28:49,229 --> 00:28:51,231
[crowd cheering, whistling]

393
00:28:56,653 --> 00:29:00,991
[coach] We had just lost a bunch of
seniors that were an NCAA tournament team.

394
00:29:02,367 --> 00:29:06,371
And, you know,
we had so many new faces on campus

395
00:29:06,455 --> 00:29:07,956
and there was a lot of doubt.

396
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,834
It's gonna take a couple of years
for these guys to get going.

397
00:29:10,918 --> 00:29:12,252
[crowd chattering]

398
00:29:12,336 --> 00:29:15,881
Our team is young. They wanna be great.

399
00:29:17,132 --> 00:29:19,009
And our team needs you!

400
00:29:19,593 --> 00:29:21,595
[crowd cheering]

401
00:29:22,763 --> 00:29:25,390
They wanna be great! Thank you!

402
00:29:27,309 --> 00:29:30,229
[McKillop] We had no idea how good
we were gonna be

403
00:29:30,312 --> 00:29:33,607
or how bad we were gonna be.
We-- We just didn't have a feel for it.

404
00:29:35,025 --> 00:29:39,363
So, it meant that Stephen Curry
would have to be a home run for us

405
00:29:39,446 --> 00:29:41,532
in order for us to be successful.

406
00:29:41,615 --> 00:29:43,408
[chuckles] A home run.

407
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,705
[teammate 1] We needed him,

408
00:29:48,789 --> 00:29:52,626
but a lot of questions around
what type of player

409
00:29:52,709 --> 00:29:55,003
Steph would be early on.

410
00:29:55,087 --> 00:29:57,214
'Cause he was ti-- He was small.

411
00:29:57,297 --> 00:30:01,218
Um, you know, probably, like,
150 pounds soaking wet with his shoes on.

412
00:30:01,301 --> 00:30:05,097
My first impression was that,
this guy is so skinny,

413
00:30:05,180 --> 00:30:07,224
how is he going to, uh, hold up?

414
00:30:07,307 --> 00:30:09,893
I didn't think that he could, you know,
hang with us.

415
00:30:09,977 --> 00:30:14,022
And I thought I would probably crush him,
but… [laughs]

416
00:30:14,106 --> 00:30:16,108
[players, coaches chattering]

417
00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:21,196
[Stephen] It was my first day
of practice at Davidson,

418
00:30:22,155 --> 00:30:26,243
and Coach McKillop put me with
Jason Richards, our captain point guard.

419
00:30:27,578 --> 00:30:31,540
And Jay Rich is killing me, like,
every time he touched the ball, he scores.

420
00:30:31,623 --> 00:30:32,791
And I can't get to stop him.

421
00:30:32,875 --> 00:30:35,919
I'm getting tired, I'm getting flustered,
I'm getting overwhelmed.

422
00:30:36,003 --> 00:30:38,130
Coach is old-school. Coach is New York.

423
00:30:39,923 --> 00:30:42,593
He finds out how far he can push you

424
00:30:43,135 --> 00:30:45,304
and kind of pushes you to that limit.

425
00:30:45,929 --> 00:30:47,514
He had prepared this whole scenario.

426
00:30:47,598 --> 00:30:50,100
He had a, uh,
white handkerchief in his pocket.

427
00:30:50,184 --> 00:30:53,520
And I took out the handkerchief
that I always carry in my back pocket.

428
00:30:54,104 --> 00:30:56,356
And I waved it, and I said, "You…"

429
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:57,900
"You wanna surrender, don't you?

430
00:30:57,983 --> 00:31:00,444
You wanna surrender, don't you?"
He kept saying over and over.

431
00:31:00,527 --> 00:31:02,404
"Here, take it. You wanna surrender,
go ahead, take it."

432
00:31:03,947 --> 00:31:05,949
The message was, you're on your own…

433
00:31:06,575 --> 00:31:08,285
[players, coaches chattering]

434
00:31:08,368 --> 00:31:09,786
…and you gotta figure it out.

435
00:31:10,662 --> 00:31:11,663
[player] Shot!

436
00:31:12,581 --> 00:31:13,498
I got that.

437
00:31:41,151 --> 00:31:46,406
[McKillop] Our first game of the season,
we had to travel to Ann Arbor, Michigan.

438
00:31:51,787 --> 00:31:55,499
It was a preseason tournament
hosted by the University of Michigan.

439
00:31:57,751 --> 00:31:59,419
We played Eastern Michigan…

440
00:32:02,005 --> 00:32:05,175
and it was Steph's first ever game
at Davidson.

441
00:32:05,884 --> 00:32:08,220
-[crowd cheering, clamoring]
-[whistle blowing]

442
00:32:16,937 --> 00:32:17,938
[whistle blows]

443
00:32:22,901 --> 00:32:23,902
[whistle blows]

444
00:32:30,117 --> 00:32:32,953
[whistle blowing]

445
00:32:51,221 --> 00:32:53,807
[Stephen] I turned the ball over
13 times in the game.

446
00:32:56,226 --> 00:32:59,730
And I was peptalking myself, like,
you know, "Figure this out, man."

447
00:32:59,813 --> 00:33:01,815
Like, "What the hell
are you doing out there?"

448
00:33:03,609 --> 00:33:06,403
But I was just overwhelmed by everything.

449
00:33:11,575 --> 00:33:13,785
[Richards]
I remember walking out of the gym.

450
00:33:14,411 --> 00:33:17,080
I remember being in the locker room
and thinking to myself,

451
00:33:17,164 --> 00:33:19,291
"This is gonna be a long year." [chuckles]

452
00:33:21,043 --> 00:33:24,588
[McKillop] The thought was,
"We just can't keep playing him."

453
00:33:26,423 --> 00:33:30,677
So, as a coaching staff, we had to decide,

454
00:33:32,596 --> 00:33:33,680
what are we gonna do?

455
00:33:51,490 --> 00:33:52,491
[crowd cheering]

456
00:33:54,701 --> 00:33:56,870
[sportscaster]
Step-back three on the way.

457
00:33:56,954 --> 00:33:58,830
But he can't find the three ball yet.

458
00:34:00,457 --> 00:34:02,209
Curry is one of six from beyond the arc.

459
00:34:04,628 --> 00:34:06,296
One of nine on threes.

460
00:34:07,631 --> 00:34:08,715
One of 12.

461
00:34:11,051 --> 00:34:13,469
[stammers]
It's just not there for Steph tonight.

462
00:34:13,554 --> 00:34:14,638
[player yelps]

463
00:34:14,721 --> 00:34:17,224
[sportscaster 2]
The shooting has just been horrific.

464
00:34:17,891 --> 00:34:19,560
The struggle is real right now.

465
00:34:22,603 --> 00:34:23,938
[Bonta Hill] And the Warriors,

466
00:34:24,022 --> 00:34:27,900
despite scoring only 11 points
in the fourth quarter,

467
00:34:27,985 --> 00:34:30,779
they figure out a way to beat
the Utah Jazz,

468
00:34:30,862 --> 00:34:33,072
as we welcome everybody to
Warriors Postgame Live,

469
00:34:33,156 --> 00:34:34,491
presented by Toyota.

470
00:34:34,574 --> 00:34:37,703
I am Bonta Hill,
that is Festus Ezeli, NBA champ.

471
00:34:37,786 --> 00:34:39,746
Dorell Wright will join us
a little bit later.

472
00:34:39,830 --> 00:34:42,875
Look, Steph Curry was struggling tonight.
Five of 20 from the floor.

473
00:34:42,958 --> 00:34:45,043
-He only finished with 13 points…
-[crowd cheering]

474
00:34:45,127 --> 00:34:47,795
…and he was one of 13
from the three-point line.

475
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,925
The month of January continues to be
a rough one for Stephen Curry, Karen.

476
00:34:52,009 --> 00:34:54,261
What are you seeing
from opposing defenses,

477
00:34:54,344 --> 00:34:58,307
which is stifling Steph Curry and forcing
him into this poor shooting level?

478
00:35:02,853 --> 00:35:04,855
[car horn blares]

479
00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:09,151
[director] Action.

480
00:35:09,735 --> 00:35:15,240
So we're taking this to Italy because
Subway now has Italian-style capicola.

481
00:35:16,241 --> 00:35:19,369
[director] Cut. That's pretty good.
Can we get some stuff on the bottom?

482
00:35:19,453 --> 00:35:21,163
[crew chattering]

483
00:35:24,708 --> 00:35:29,046
I'm a little self-conscious 'cause I feel
like my eyes are half closed every take,

484
00:35:29,713 --> 00:35:31,632
but apparently they like it so far, so…

485
00:35:32,466 --> 00:35:33,675
It's kind of fun actually.

486
00:35:34,885 --> 00:35:39,139
Even when you're running
on two hours of sleep. [laughs]

487
00:35:39,932 --> 00:35:41,266
[man 2 whistles]

488
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,480
[man 2] There he is! [laughs]

489
00:35:47,064 --> 00:35:49,358
-[Stephen] Hold on.
-[crew laughing]

490
00:35:49,441 --> 00:35:50,901
[Stephen] You are unbelievable.

491
00:35:50,984 --> 00:35:53,695
Hey, I got the stat sheet
when Kobe scored 62 in the Garden.

492
00:35:54,196 --> 00:35:56,990
-[Stephen exclaims]

-[Stephen] Absolutely.

a newfound appreciation for.

-Love, man. Nothing but love.
-Hey. Thank you, man.

-Absolutely. We're on the way.
-I'm pulling for you.

501
00:36:12,589 --> 00:36:13,590
I appreciate it.

00:36:22,683 --> 00:36:24,309
[Canon] I would like some more food.

You're putting it in your mouth.

520
00:37:03,849 --> 00:37:05,350
-I can't do it.
-Why?

521
00:37:05,434 --> 00:37:06,643

522
00:37:06,727 --> 00:37:08,729
Oh, your neck is hurting? All right, bye.

523
00:37:08,812 --> 00:37:10,105

[Stephen]
Everything that could go wrong went wrong

528
00:38:06,453 --> 00:38:08,330
in my first game against Eastern Michigan.

529
00:38:11,834 --> 00:38:16,046
So, it was just a shock
when Coach McKillop said,

530
00:38:16,129 --> 00:38:17,673
"You're gonna start the next game."

532
00:38:21,969 --> 00:38:23,720
[Stephen] I got a second chance,

533
00:38:24,638 --> 00:38:28,600
but there were extreme stakes
for my future as a basketball player.

534
00:38:30,143 --> 00:38:33,480
How would I respond to failure?
How would I respond in that moment?

535
00:38:35,315 --> 00:38:37,234
I felt such an urgency to that.

Basket by Stephen Curry.

544
00:40:02,069 --> 00:40:04,988
[Stephen] I had 32, I think,
in the second game of my career.

545
00:40:07,491 --> 00:40:11,161
We lost to Michigan,
but it was a moment of energy for me.

546
00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:17,251
Had he benched me and kind of
dimmed the light a little bit,

547
00:40:17,334 --> 00:40:19,127
who knows how it would've played out.

548
00:40:20,754 --> 00:40:25,884
But it was one of the more memorable
nights, just because, you know,

549
00:40:26,844 --> 00:40:31,014
reminding myself or convincing myself
that, you know,

550
00:40:31,098 --> 00:40:32,975
I was who I thought I was at that level.

551
00:40:45,070 --> 00:40:50,325
[Matheny] For a freshman to have
32 points in any game was very unique.

552
00:40:52,369 --> 00:40:54,705
So, when we came back to Davidson,

553
00:40:55,455 --> 00:40:58,041
people around town were talking.

554
00:40:59,209 --> 00:41:02,379
It was the first time
people started to take notice.

555
00:41:03,714 --> 00:41:06,717
But when I say people,
I mean really just people at Davidson.

I remember sitting there thinking,

564
00:41:54,848 --> 00:41:58,852
"That's unusual, that this tiny freshman

565
00:41:58,936 --> 00:42:04,316
has the level of green light
to take a three so quickly,

566
00:42:04,399 --> 00:42:07,611

and make it

567
00:42:07,694 --> 00:42:12,115
in, like, the first handful of seconds
of the game."

Felt like this was the start of a story
I needed to watch.

572
00:42:42,479 --> 00:42:48,485
And it also felt like at Davidson,
Stephen Curry was sort of our secret.

[Stephen] Going to Davidson,
basketball was important,

597
00:43:54,051 --> 00:43:58,347
but it-- it wasn't necessarily, like,
the thing that dominated every single day.

[students chattering]

599
00:44:00,474 --> 00:44:01,975
I was going to class.

00:44:02,976 --> 00:44:04,436
I was doing homework.

601
00:44:05,646 --> 00:44:07,314
It was also a time to have fun

602
00:44:07,397 --> 00:44:09,525
and kind of exploring
and finding yourself.

603
00:44:14,404 --> 00:44:16,073
My freshman year,

604
00:44:16,156 --> 00:44:19,451
I had an opportunity to kind of
have a normal college experience.

605
00:44:21,328 --> 00:44:23,747
And it just kept me enjoying the moment.

606
00:44:24,623 --> 00:44:26,625
[crowd clamoring, cheering]

607
00:44:30,087 --> 00:44:31,088
[mouthing] Go.

608
00:44:38,470 --> 00:44:40,848
[Stephen]
On the court, our team was playing well.

609
00:44:42,266 --> 00:44:45,269
It surprised people
that we were winning games.

610
00:44:46,687 --> 00:44:49,398
And slowly the hype started to build
at Davidson.

611
00:44:56,530 --> 00:44:58,365
[Biggers] Everything was really exciting.

612
00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:01,785
But it was such an interesting time

613
00:45:03,036 --> 00:45:06,248
because very few people actually saw it.

614
00:45:07,833 --> 00:45:10,043
Social media was very new.

615
00:45:10,127 --> 00:45:12,337
And Davidson was in
the Southern Conference at the time,

616
00:45:12,421 --> 00:45:15,257
which is a real wrinkle in the story.

617

[crowd clamoring, cheering]

618
00:45:17,092 --> 00:45:18,260
It's a small conference.

622
00:45:30,063 --> 00:45:32,191

[laptop chiming]

635
00:47:09,162 --> 00:47:13,125
[Stephen] So, I would love to, kind of,
just start with--

636
00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:17,504
I sent you that document last night
with just an update of where I'm at,

637
00:47:17,588 --> 00:47:21,717
looking at gender and… [stammers]
…inequality in the realm of sports.

638
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,553
And hopefully, there's enough
meat on the bone to kinda--

639
00:47:24,636 --> 00:47:28,182
you know, get some feedback from you on
if I'm in the right direction.

640
00:47:29,057 --> 00:47:30,267
[Kaufman] Yeah. Yeah, sure.

641
00:47:30,350 --> 00:47:35,689
So, I think that you have
a lot of strong material.

642
00:47:36,607 --> 00:47:39,193
We're in a unusual situation here

643
00:47:39,276 --> 00:47:44,198
because you already are involved
in all of this and doing a lot.

644
00:47:44,281 --> 00:47:46,491
And so, it has great potential.

645
00:47:47,659 --> 00:47:53,040
So maybe it could be more of a living work
of… [stammers] …impact, I guess,

646
00:47:53,123 --> 00:47:55,209
in terms of what it--
what it could be used for,

647
00:47:55,292 --> 00:47:56,919
after this whole process.

648
00:47:57,503 --> 00:47:58,587

00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,849
we had exceeded expectations.

00:48:54,226 --> 00:48:56,353
We made it to the NCAA tournament,

653
00:48:58,313 --> 00:49:00,357

to grab the golden ring

Curry. Knocked away. Sloppy pass.

664
00:49:41,398 --> 00:49:43,525
-[whistle blowing]
-They're falling apart.

665
00:49:44,568 --> 00:49:47,112
And the Maryland Terrapins will advance.

666
00:49:47,738 --> 00:49:49,698
They beat Davidson this afternoon,

667
00:49:49,781 --> 00:49:53,660
and it was a very competitive game
between thirteenth-seeded Davidson

668
00:49:53,744 --> 00:49:56,538
and the fourth seed Maryland Terrapins.

669
00:50:00,876 --> 00:50:04,755
[McKillop] When you are an underdog,
you have to take what is yours.

670
00:50:07,174 --> 00:50:08,842
And that became a theme for us.

671
00:50:11,261 --> 00:50:13,013
So, after that game,

672
00:50:14,014 --> 00:50:17,768
we immediately thrust ourselves
into a mindset of,

673
00:50:18,936 --> 00:50:21,897
we can't let this
slip through our hands again.

674
00:50:37,955 --> 00:50:44,253
The next season, most of our players,
Steph included, were actually returning.

675
00:50:45,629 --> 00:50:50,300
So we really felt like,
"Let's go for all the marbles."

676
00:50:52,052 --> 00:50:53,303
We decided

677
00:50:53,387 --> 00:50:56,390
that we were gonna try to play
one of the most difficult schedules

678
00:50:56,473 --> 00:50:57,683
in the country that year.

679
00:50:59,601 --> 00:51:02,145
We thought
if we could win these tough games,

680
00:51:02,813 --> 00:51:06,942
maybe we can get a better seed
in the NCAA tournament.

681
00:51:08,402 --> 00:51:11,238
And we could finally advance.

682
00:51:11,738 --> 00:51:13,323
[crowd cheering, clamoring]

683
00:51:16,577 --> 00:51:20,539
[commentator] Davidson trying to upset
the number one team in the country.

684
00:51:21,373 --> 00:51:24,585
Bob McKillop said
his team will run with North Carolina.

685
00:51:25,377 --> 00:51:27,379
[crowd cheering]

686
00:51:33,385 --> 00:51:35,512
[commentator] Ellington. Oh!

687
00:51:35,596 --> 00:51:36,763
[cheering continues]

688
00:51:36,847 --> 00:51:40,726
[commentator] And Carolina
is going to survive Davidson College.

689
00:51:47,608 --> 00:51:49,860
[commentator 1] You can feel the tension.

690
00:51:49,943 --> 00:51:52,863
Davidson, looks like they've got
an opportunity against the Blue Devils.

691
00:51:55,908 --> 00:51:57,951
[commentator 2] And it was a close game.

692
00:52:02,789 --> 00:52:05,334
[commentator 3]
The Davidson Wildcats once again

693
00:52:05,417 --> 00:52:07,252
are facing a top-ten team coming in here.

694
00:52:07,961 --> 00:52:10,839
Westbrook right back, drives in, scores.

695
00:52:10,923 --> 00:52:13,717
Russell Westbrook making it look so easy.

696
00:52:17,471 --> 00:52:19,306
[commentator 1] 3.9 seconds…

697
00:52:20,641 --> 00:52:22,434
for Davidson to try to win it.

698
00:52:22,518 --> 00:52:24,019
[commentator 2] It's a one-point game.

699
00:52:26,146 --> 00:52:27,606
[crowd cheering]

700
00:52:29,608 --> 00:52:31,485
[commentator 3] It's gonna be Curry.

701
00:52:31,568 --> 00:52:33,695
Fells all over him, at the buzzer!

702
00:52:33,779 --> 00:52:35,405
[cheering continues]

703
00:53:03,267 --> 00:53:07,145
[McKillop] We were going home
for Christmas with a 4-6 record.

704
00:53:10,190 --> 00:53:14,528
Everyone felt
like we had failed the mission.

705
00:53:16,989 --> 00:53:21,618
And it just looked
like our season could go south.

706
00:53:26,081 --> 00:53:27,499
It could cause you to doubt.

707
00:53:29,877 --> 00:53:31,545
It could shatter your confidence.

708
00:53:33,672 --> 00:53:36,466
How were we gonna be able to
take that next step?

709
00:53:38,635 --> 00:53:43,348
Because I still felt
that we were right there.

710
00:53:44,766 --> 00:53:48,770
One possession here, one difference there,

711
00:53:48,854 --> 00:53:51,356
and… [stammers] …we could have won
those four games.

712
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,483
We were talented enough. We belonged.

713
00:53:53,984 --> 00:53:57,738
And I wanted them to be certain
that they understood that we belonged.

714
00:54:03,035 --> 00:54:05,537
[Rossiter]
Coach McKillop believed in us so much,

715
00:54:05,621 --> 00:54:07,372
and he thought
we had such a special group.

716
00:54:09,499 --> 00:54:11,919
But we kinda had, like,
that come-to-Jesus moment.

717
00:54:13,420 --> 00:54:15,839
He sat us all down for a film session.

718
00:54:16,673 --> 00:54:19,885
And he went around to every person
and, like, kinda called out,

719
00:54:20,427 --> 00:54:23,555
like, you know, what they needed
to do better or differently.

720
00:54:26,975 --> 00:54:27,976
Then he gets to Steph.

721
00:54:29,978 --> 00:54:30,896
And he just goes off

722
00:54:30,979 --> 00:54:33,774
and just tears into Steph
for a couple minutes.

723
00:54:34,650 --> 00:54:37,069
How Steph wasn't living up
to his responsibilities

724
00:54:37,152 --> 00:54:38,529
and how he wasn't getting it done.

725
00:54:41,990 --> 00:54:43,617
[Stephen] You can call it reprimanding.

726
00:54:43,700 --> 00:54:46,411
You can call it being direct.
You can call it motivating.

727
00:54:48,413 --> 00:54:51,416
At the end of the day, the message was,

728
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:55,879
every piece has to work for us
to be competitive at the highest level.

729
00:54:58,048 --> 00:55:00,175
We know we're not the most athletic.

730
00:55:00,259 --> 00:55:03,095
We're not the most talented, the tallest,
the fastest.

731
00:55:05,472 --> 00:55:08,851
But if we can play like a team in unison,

732
00:55:10,269 --> 00:55:12,271
we can compete
with anybody in the country.

733
00:55:12,354 --> 00:55:13,939
[crowd cheering, whistling]

734
00:55:14,022 --> 00:55:16,149
[Stephen]
And we gotta show that we can do it.

735
00:55:22,823 --> 00:55:24,825
[crowd cheering, whistling]

736
00:55:31,540 --> 00:55:32,833
[commentator 1] Now to Curry.

737
00:55:34,168 --> 00:55:35,752
Curry's turned that one over.

738
00:55:36,628 --> 00:55:38,172
The Warriors turn it over again.

739
00:55:39,464 --> 00:55:41,383
-[whistle blows]
-[commentator 2] It's a little alarming.

740
00:55:42,759 --> 00:55:44,928
[commentator 3] Into Jokic.

741
00:55:45,012 --> 00:55:47,806
-Out to Morris. A three to win!
-[buzzer sounds]

742
00:55:47,890 --> 00:55:49,266
-[whistles blows]
-[crowd cheering]

743
00:55:49,349 --> 00:55:51,143
[commentator 3]
Denver wins it at the buzzer.

744
00:55:55,731 --> 00:56:00,027
[Mike Breen] James tries another three.
That's good! James from downtown.

745
00:56:00,110 --> 00:56:03,488
James sees an opening.
Drives inside and the flush.

746
00:56:03,572 --> 00:56:05,741
-Monk, alley-oop to James!
-[crowd cheering]

747
00:56:08,452 --> 00:56:09,912
[buzzer sounds]

748
00:56:09,995 --> 00:56:11,663
[commentator 3] This will be just another

749
00:56:11,747 --> 00:56:14,374
in a series of disappointing losses
for the Warriors.

750
00:56:15,125 --> 00:56:18,128
[sportscaster] Golden State has lost
eight out of ten games.

751
00:56:18,754 --> 00:56:20,923
Golden State is reeling.

752
00:56:21,006 --> 00:56:25,177
Golden State is cratering
right before your very eyes.

753
00:56:27,471 --> 00:56:31,850
[reporter] What is the concern level
overall about this stretch?

754
00:56:35,354 --> 00:56:38,815
Giving in to, you know,
a losing mentality,

755
00:56:38,899 --> 00:56:42,444
like, we're not that team.

756
00:56:42,528 --> 00:56:44,112
I'm not gonna let us be that team.

757
00:56:45,739 --> 00:56:48,575
We cannot give in to this losing spirit

758
00:56:48,659 --> 00:56:51,745
of just finding different ways
to lose basketball games.

759
00:56:54,748 --> 00:56:56,166
[crowd cheering, whistling]

760
00:56:56,750 --> 00:56:59,211
[commentator]
Golden State has seven turnovers

761
00:57:00,254 --> 00:57:05,551
for a very seemingly disjointed
and disconcerted offense right now.

762
00:57:07,386 --> 00:57:09,263
[crowd cheering]

763
00:57:09,346 --> 00:57:10,848
[commentator 1]
Klay, good defense on Tatum.

764
00:57:10,931 --> 00:57:11,932
Knocked it away.

765
00:57:12,015 --> 00:57:15,310
It's Smart that got on the deck though.
Tatum forgot the ball.

766
00:57:15,394 --> 00:57:16,687
It's a three on one.

767
00:57:17,771 --> 00:57:20,732
And Steph was involved
in that initial collision,

768
00:57:21,233 --> 00:57:23,026
and he's trying to work out a few things.

769
00:57:24,778 --> 00:57:26,738
[commentator 2]
Steph Curry's actually hobbling.

770
00:57:27,447 --> 00:57:28,574
[commentator 1] Oh, wow. Yep.

771
00:57:31,243 --> 00:57:33,871
Uh, Steph is gonna
get that left ankle looked at.

772
00:57:41,044 --> 00:57:46,341
[Sander] In that moment, it felt like,
"Did we just squander the season?"

773
00:57:49,928 --> 00:57:51,805
[crowd cheering, whistling]

774
00:57:55,184 --> 00:57:56,602
We felt like we were good.

775
00:57:58,562 --> 00:58:00,981
But the question was, in our minds,

776
00:58:02,107 --> 00:58:04,276
when are we gonna finally push through?

777
00:58:06,570 --> 00:58:11,700
And-- And… [stammers] …once we do it,
like, what is it gonna look like?

778
00:58:14,703 --> 00:58:15,704
[McKillop] At that point,

779
00:58:16,747 --> 00:58:19,625
we were playing
in a lower-level conference.

780
00:58:22,252 --> 00:58:23,879
And it meant that…

781
00:58:25,380 --> 00:58:30,302
the only chance that we had to qualify
for the NCAA tournament

782
00:58:31,595 --> 00:58:34,264
was winning
the Southern Conference Championship.

783
00:58:36,975 --> 00:58:38,435
[Stephen] We knew we were right there.

784
00:58:40,521 --> 00:58:44,983
But we also knew,
we have to be damn near perfect.

785
00:58:45,067 --> 00:58:46,109
[chuckles]

786
00:58:46,193 --> 00:58:48,195
[cheering, clamoring]

787
00:58:49,196 --> 00:58:50,197
[whistle blows]

788
00:59:20,727 --> 00:59:21,895
[crowd cheering]

789
00:59:27,818 --> 00:59:31,697
[announcer] Three pointer, Jason Richards.
Richards.

790
00:59:39,580 --> 00:59:43,250
[announcer] Three pointer, Stephen Curry.

791
00:59:50,841 --> 00:59:51,842
[commentator] Jason Richards.

792
00:59:52,342 --> 00:59:55,220
Good pass inside,
and the bucket and a foul.

793
01:00:02,394 --> 01:00:04,188
[crowd cheering]

794
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,407
[crowd cheering]

795
01:00:26,502 --> 01:00:30,506
[commentator] The Davidson Wildcats,
they've won 22 straight.

796
01:00:31,131 --> 01:00:34,593
They're heading to the NCAA tournament.

797
01:00:34,676 --> 01:00:35,844
[buzzer sounds]

798
01:00:42,643 --> 01:00:47,272
[commentator] Congratulations,
Bob McKillop, Stephen Curry.

799
01:00:47,356 --> 01:00:49,066
Davidson getting it done.

800
01:00:52,736 --> 01:00:54,446
[Lovedale]
We were just feeling this excitement

801
01:00:54,530 --> 01:00:56,448
that we're going back to the dance,

802
01:00:57,407 --> 01:01:01,370
because we did what we were supposed to do
to get that opportunity.

803
01:01:02,829 --> 01:01:04,873
And Coach would always remind us,

804
01:01:04,957 --> 01:01:09,086
we just need to be
playing our best basketball in March.

805
01:01:17,344 --> 01:01:21,014
[Kruse] That team, after starting 4-6,

806
01:01:22,266 --> 01:01:24,643
just ran the table
in the Southern Conference.

807
01:01:26,436 --> 01:01:27,437
20-0.

808
01:01:28,981 --> 01:01:34,862
And we started to feel
that something special was happening.

809
01:01:39,491 --> 01:01:45,455
Davidson had not experienced
an NCAA tournament win since 1969.

810
01:01:47,165 --> 01:01:49,668
And in the many years since then,

811
01:01:50,919 --> 01:01:52,129
they have come close.

812
01:01:53,505 --> 01:01:54,923
But only close.

813
01:01:58,343 --> 01:02:02,222
So, I think we felt, watching this team,

814
01:02:02,723 --> 01:02:05,184
that this was the best chance

815
01:02:05,267 --> 01:02:09,271
that Davidson had had
in many of our lifetimes.

816
01:02:14,151 --> 01:02:15,736
[Gumbel] Good evening, everyone.
I'm Greg Gumbel.

817
01:02:15,819 --> 01:02:17,362
Welcome to our New York studios

818
01:02:17,446 --> 01:02:20,407
and the NCAA
Basketball Championship Selection Show.

819
01:02:20,490 --> 01:02:24,036
Just a short while ago,
Division I Men's Basketball Committee

820
01:02:24,119 --> 01:02:27,539
adjourned after finishing up
this year's tournament bracket.

821
01:02:27,623 --> 01:02:31,084
It is now time
to reveal the Midwest Region.

822
01:02:31,752 --> 01:02:36,757
The number seven seed in the Midwest,
the Bulldogs of Gonzaga, out of the WCC.

823
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,801
-And they'll take on the Davidson--
-[crowd cheering]

824
01:02:55,359 --> 01:02:56,693
[cheering, whistling]

825
01:03:00,405 --> 01:03:02,824
[cheering, whistling]

826
01:03:16,755 --> 01:03:19,174
[Stephen] When we got on the bus
and drove up to Raleigh,

827
01:03:20,133 --> 01:03:22,219
all my senses went through the roof.

828
01:03:24,847 --> 01:03:27,015
I can still picture the arena.

829
01:03:30,769 --> 01:03:32,479
Just the sights and the sounds.

830
01:03:34,857 --> 01:03:36,608
[McKillop] Go, go, go!

831
01:03:36,692 --> 01:03:37,693
[no audible dialogue]

832
01:03:39,403 --> 01:03:40,779
[Stephen] I was nervous for sure.

833
01:03:43,198 --> 01:03:47,661
When you go to an NCAA practice,
there's more cameras.

834
01:03:49,538 --> 01:03:51,582
It's a different energy
and a different vibe.

835
01:03:53,750 --> 01:03:57,588
Even just seeing your same jerseys
with the NCAA patch on it,

836
01:03:58,839 --> 01:04:00,340
you know this is different.

837
01:04:02,176 --> 01:04:05,554
And for us,
we definitely felt the pressure,

838
01:04:06,138 --> 01:04:10,684
knowing that this was our best chance
to make some noise in the tournament.

839
01:04:17,524 --> 01:04:19,067
[crowd cheering, whistling]

840
01:04:19,151 --> 01:04:24,114
[Jim Nantz] Davidson and Gonzaga.
The Wildcats and the Bulldogs.

841
01:04:27,826 --> 01:04:29,203
Davidson College,

842
01:04:29,286 --> 01:04:32,372
last year got knocked out
by Maryland in the first round.

843
01:04:33,457 --> 01:04:35,626
But this season,
riding a 22-game win streak,

844
01:04:35,709 --> 01:04:36,710
longest in the nation.

845
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:42,174
And for Bob McKillop,

846
01:04:42,257 --> 01:04:46,261
this is the fifth time he's directed
Davidson College to the NCAA tournament.

847
01:04:47,221 --> 01:04:48,972
[Billy Packer]
Has yet to win one though, Jim.

848
01:04:55,687 --> 01:04:57,731
[Nantz] That's a three by Steven Gray.

849
01:04:58,315 --> 01:05:00,651
[Packer] Curry gets caught.
Gray gets another open look.

850
01:05:00,734 --> 01:05:03,737
[Nantz] And he's now knocked down
two from behind the arc.

851
01:05:05,739 --> 01:05:07,324
Rejected by Lovedale.

852
01:05:08,116 --> 01:05:10,744
Gray now, for the third time hits a three.

853
01:05:15,082 --> 01:05:18,377
Gray. Still hasn't missed!
He's five for five.

854
01:05:19,503 --> 01:05:23,048
A 13-2 run by Gonzaga.

855
01:05:26,343 --> 01:05:28,762
[Packer] Davidson's starting
to panic a little bit, Jim,

856
01:05:28,846 --> 01:05:30,931
and the fact that this game
is getting away from 'em.

857
01:05:33,100 --> 01:05:35,561
Dangerous time for Davidson right now.

858
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,146
Gonzaga in total control.

859
01:05:38,856 --> 01:05:41,525
[no audible dialogue]

860
01:05:47,739 --> 01:05:48,907
[whistle blows]

861
01:05:55,330 --> 01:05:57,457
[crowd cheering]

862
01:05:57,541 --> 01:06:00,502
[Nantz] Curry with the steal.
Taking on Bouldin. And one.

863
01:06:10,262 --> 01:06:12,723
Curry, right back with a three.

864
01:06:14,641 --> 01:06:15,642
[Packer] And there's room.

865
01:06:15,726 --> 01:06:16,977
[Nantz] Curry again!

866
01:06:17,978 --> 01:06:18,979
This kid's amazing.

867
01:06:21,148 --> 01:06:22,900
They're a Curry three away from tying it.

868
01:06:22,983 --> 01:06:25,694
Here it is. We're all tied in Raleigh.

869
01:06:26,361 --> 01:06:28,572
A 17-6 run.

870
01:06:30,115 --> 01:06:31,158
He is lighting it up.

871
01:06:38,081 --> 01:06:39,958
Ninety seconds remaining. Game tied.

872
01:06:42,753 --> 01:06:45,714
Two great teams,
a season coming down to the last minute.

873
01:06:47,257 --> 01:06:50,594
Richards on the baseline. Kicks it corner.

874
01:06:51,178 --> 01:06:52,179
[Packer] Line drive.

875
01:06:52,262 --> 01:06:54,890
[Nantz]
They had to beat the shot clock. Gosselin.

876
01:06:55,807 --> 01:06:58,685
And Lovedale keeps it for 'em. Curry! Oh!

877
01:06:58,769 --> 01:07:00,604
[Packer] Are you kidding me?

878
01:07:00,687 --> 01:07:02,814
[Nantz] And he points over to his parents.

879
01:07:02,898 --> 01:07:04,566
-[crowd cheering]
-[whistle blows]

880
01:07:13,909 --> 01:07:15,410
[Nantz] In the arms of Curry.

881
01:07:15,494 --> 01:07:19,122
America had heard about him,
and now we know about him.

882
01:07:19,957 --> 01:07:23,377
A star on the NCAA tournament stage.

883
01:07:23,460 --> 01:07:27,047
Stephen Curry leads Davidson
into the second round.

884
01:07:46,191 --> 01:07:50,612
[Sonya] I remember thinking,
"What the heck is going on?"

885
01:07:52,030 --> 01:07:56,410
Like, "You-- What are you doing?
[stammers] How are you doing this?"

886
01:07:56,493 --> 01:08:00,330
And, like, almost like,
"W-- Why are you doing this?

887
01:08:00,414 --> 01:08:01,331
And is this real?"

888
01:08:04,585 --> 01:08:05,878
[Stephen] That's probably to this day

889
01:08:05,961 --> 01:08:08,505
one of my favorite moments
as a basketball player.

890
01:08:11,717 --> 01:08:13,886
Playing in the tournament
that you grew up watching.

891
01:08:15,179 --> 01:08:18,348
But just knowing, like, you're doing
something historically special.

892
01:08:18,932 --> 01:08:21,643
Being this small Division I college

893
01:08:21,727 --> 01:08:24,479
that hadn't won a tournament game
in a long time

894
01:08:26,273 --> 01:08:27,441
and you're breaking through.

895
01:08:30,986 --> 01:08:35,157
[Lovedale] It just felt like something
changed almost immediately for us.

896
01:08:36,658 --> 01:08:41,412
The big thing that happens after that is,
"We can do this, right?"

897
01:08:43,582 --> 01:08:45,042
[McKillop] This was our moment,

898
01:08:46,710 --> 01:08:50,339
because winning that game finally showed…

899
01:08:52,006 --> 01:08:53,008
we belonged.

900
01:09:07,104 --> 01:09:11,609
[Matheny] Winning our first NCAA
tournament game was just magical.

901
01:09:13,237 --> 01:09:14,863
It's like you're floating almost.

902
01:09:17,698 --> 01:09:20,368
But our first-round game against Gonzaga

903
01:09:20,452 --> 01:09:22,746
was one of the first games
of the tournament.

904
01:09:24,540 --> 01:09:26,041
So we go back to the hotel,

905
01:09:27,042 --> 01:09:30,002
and we have roughly 48 hours
to prepare for the next game.

906
01:09:31,839 --> 01:09:34,675
So our players take advantage
of that time,

907
01:09:34,758 --> 01:09:36,926
and they do their homework.

908
01:09:42,850 --> 01:09:44,350
[Stephen] It's still hilarious to me

909
01:09:44,434 --> 01:09:47,563
that in the biggest basketball moment
of the year,

910
01:09:47,645 --> 01:09:50,816
we're all in the hallway
with other students, doing papers.

911
01:09:53,527 --> 01:09:55,988
But that's just the Davidson experience.

912
01:09:57,364 --> 01:10:00,534
And it's the best thing in the world.

913
01:10:01,034 --> 01:10:03,704
It's still funny to me. [chuckles]

914
01:10:23,515 --> 01:10:26,560
-[announcer] Here we go.
-[announcer 2] March Madness!

915
01:10:27,853 --> 01:10:31,899
[Nantz] In Greenville, South Carolina,
Davidson, the Wildcats,

916
01:10:31,982 --> 01:10:34,526
-taking on Michigan State, the Spartans.
-[clapping]

917
01:10:34,610 --> 01:10:37,404
The winner to face Duke
on Sunday on this floor.

918
01:10:37,487 --> 01:10:38,906
Let's go!

919
01:10:39,531 --> 01:10:43,118
[Nantz] Game four. Hello, friends.
Jim Nantz, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery.

920
01:10:43,202 --> 01:10:45,037
Ready for one more, guys? Let's do it.

921
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:46,622
-What do you say?
-Jim Nantz is good luck.

922
01:10:46,705 --> 01:10:48,165
[imitating Nantz] Hello, friends.

923
01:10:48,248 --> 01:10:50,709
[Richards] This is big.
Bill Raftery's doing this game?

924
01:10:50,792 --> 01:10:52,503
[imitates Raftery] With a kiss.

925
01:10:52,586 --> 01:10:56,340
-[Nantz] Bob McKillop. Tom Izzo…
-Takes it to the tin for two.

926
01:10:56,423 --> 01:10:58,008
-[Nantz] Tom, older…
-[Stephen, normal] Can-Can.

927
01:10:58,091 --> 01:10:59,134
Say, "Go Cats."

928
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:01,178
Get buckets!

929
01:11:01,261 --> 01:11:03,972
-[Stephen] Get buckets. That's right. Yes.
-[Richards] Get buckets? [chuckles]

930
01:11:04,056 --> 01:11:06,183
[Raftery] …I think manhandled,
in a sense. Loyer.

931
01:11:06,266 --> 01:11:08,435
[Nantz] There he is,
using power and strength.

932
01:11:08,519 --> 01:11:10,145
[Hill] He's the one guy
that can get a basket.

933
01:11:10,229 --> 01:11:11,230
[Richards] Come on, Foster.

934
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,816
Feel you, bruh.
I used to get picked on all the time.

935
01:11:17,069 --> 01:11:18,320
[Raftery] Ooh.

936
01:11:18,403 --> 01:11:19,821
[Nantz] Another pass sails.

937
01:11:19,905 --> 01:11:21,657
[phone ringing]

938
01:11:21,740 --> 01:11:23,408
[Raftery]
Always in the right spot, this team.

939
01:11:23,492 --> 01:11:27,120
[person]
It's a Sparty party, baby! [laughing]

940
01:11:27,621 --> 01:11:32,835
[Canon] Dad, I want candy. Daddy.

941
01:11:32,918 --> 01:11:34,670
We just-- We just did a nasty turnover.

942
01:11:34,753 --> 01:11:38,799
I like this though. We're right where--
We're right where we wanna be, baby.

943
01:11:38,882 --> 01:11:40,217
'Cause y'all too comfortable right now.

944
01:11:40,300 --> 01:11:43,136
Y'all think y'all can just turn it on
and just blow us out by 20.

945
01:11:43,220 --> 01:11:45,722
And one! [shouts]

946
01:11:45,806 --> 01:11:47,015
[Nantz] His confidence is soaring.

947
01:11:47,099 --> 01:11:49,309
I might-- I might--
I might have to send a halftime text.

948
01:11:49,393 --> 01:11:50,686
-Dada, I don't want this.
-Huh?

949
01:11:50,769 --> 01:11:52,312
-I'ma holler at you. We're gonna talk.
-Bye.

950
01:11:52,396 --> 01:11:55,649
-[Nantz] Saw it right there.
-Uh-oh. Silver fox.

951
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,611
[Nantz] Bob McKillop.
We saw that '08 team.

952
01:12:00,529 --> 01:12:02,698
My gosh, that was something special.

953
01:12:02,781 --> 01:12:04,449
Had a pretty good player on that team too.

954
01:12:04,533 --> 01:12:05,868
[Raftery] What's he doing now?

955
01:12:05,951 --> 01:12:08,495
[Nantz] I haven't heard
from him in years. [chuckles]

956
01:12:08,579 --> 01:12:10,747
-[Hill chuckles]
-[Nantz] Steph, we know you're watching.

957
01:12:10,831 --> 01:12:12,583
[chuckles]

958
01:12:13,166 --> 01:12:14,877
[Hill] Their great defense right here.

959
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:16,211
[Richards] I've never asked you this.

960
01:12:16,712 --> 01:12:18,922
What was your thought
when Lovedale got that rebound?

961
01:12:19,423 --> 01:12:20,340
Against Gonzaga.

962
01:12:20,424 --> 01:12:22,634
Dude, it was
freaking like a song started playing.

963
01:12:22,718 --> 01:12:26,889
And it was like a-- it was like a melody,
'cause I-- My first thought was like,

964
01:12:26,972 --> 01:12:30,225
"Pass me the ball." And then…
[stammers] …I saw he had no hesitation.

965
01:12:30,309 --> 01:12:35,063
Probably-- Probably the biggest play

966
01:12:35,147 --> 01:12:37,149
-in Davidson history…
-1,000%.

967
01:12:37,232 --> 01:12:39,735
-…the offensive rebound.
-1,000%.

968
01:12:40,819 --> 01:12:44,615
[crowd] Defense! Defense!
Defense! Defense!

969
01:12:47,743 --> 01:12:50,787
[sportscaster] If beating Gonzaga
was getting over a hump,

970
01:12:50,871 --> 01:12:54,333
the Wildcats' next opponent
will be climbing a mountain.

971
01:12:55,042 --> 01:13:00,047
Up next, second-seeded Georgetown
and their 7-foot star center, Roy Hibbert.

972
01:13:03,050 --> 01:13:05,135
[fans cheering]

973
01:13:08,263 --> 01:13:11,308
[Dell] I remember, we were tailgating
out in the parking lot.

974
01:13:12,267 --> 01:13:13,435
We're having a good time.

975
01:13:16,605 --> 01:13:18,982
And then I see Doc Rivers.

976
01:13:20,817 --> 01:13:23,529
He's come to watch his son play
for Georgetown.

977
01:13:24,321 --> 01:13:26,532
And he's like, "Hey, Dell."
I'm like, "Hey, Doc."

978
01:13:27,199 --> 01:13:29,368
He goes, "Y'all-Y'all-Y'all… [stammers]
…guys have fun.

979
01:13:29,451 --> 01:13:31,203
Enjoy yourself. It's, you know--

980
01:13:31,286 --> 01:13:33,580
This is the last time
you're gonna be doing this." [chuckles]

981
01:13:33,664 --> 01:13:37,209
I went, "Look, there goes Doc.
He thinks we don't have a chance."

982
01:13:37,292 --> 01:13:39,044
I'm thinking, "The-- Is he right?"

983
01:13:39,127 --> 01:13:41,755
I hadn't seen a lot of Georgetown,
but it's Georgetown.

984
01:13:41,839 --> 01:13:43,507
-[player] One, two, three.
-[all] Wildcats.

985
01:13:43,590 --> 01:13:47,386
-Let's have some fun, boys!
-[Stephen] When we get to play Georgetown,

986
01:13:48,428 --> 01:13:50,180
the ten versus the two seed,

987
01:13:51,849 --> 01:13:56,520
I think most people
were predicting that we had no chance.

988
01:13:59,481 --> 01:14:02,234
We knew we had to play
pretty much a perfect game to beat 'em.

989
01:14:04,403 --> 01:14:06,780
But we felt we could do that.

990
01:14:11,326 --> 01:14:13,161
[crowd cheering]

991
01:14:16,164 --> 01:14:17,791
Whoo!

992
01:14:19,710 --> 01:14:20,836
[Packer] Beautiful pass.

993
01:14:20,919 --> 01:14:23,755
[Nantz] Curry gives it up,
but that is swatted away.

994
01:14:35,726 --> 01:14:37,436
[Nantz] Oh! Uh, that one was halfway down.

995
01:14:43,942 --> 01:14:47,571
-[whistle blows]
-Oh, Ewing drives for the dunk. And one.

996
01:14:52,034 --> 01:14:54,661
Georgetown shooting over 70%,
and they hit again.

997
01:14:54,745 --> 01:14:55,871
[whistle blows]

998
01:14:55,954 --> 01:14:58,248
[Nantz]
And this lead now has ballooned to 17.

999
01:14:59,791 --> 01:15:01,793
-My goodness.
-[buzzer sounds]

1000
01:15:03,462 --> 01:15:06,715
They're holding Davidson to 27% shooting.

1001
01:15:07,966 --> 01:15:10,594
Boy, they shut you down better
than anybody in the country.

1002
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:20,938
[Richards] I just remember the moment.
We're down 17 points.

1003
01:15:23,565 --> 01:15:24,858
We come to the bench.

1004
01:15:26,109 --> 01:15:27,402
And Coach is in the huddle…

1005
01:15:29,279 --> 01:15:30,364
and he's smiling.

1006
01:15:33,408 --> 01:15:35,744
And it was like, "What's going on here?

1007
01:15:37,287 --> 01:15:38,872
Is there something that we're missing?"

1008
01:15:40,916 --> 01:15:42,251
[Lovedale] It was surprising.

1009
01:15:44,169 --> 01:15:46,380
Coach was saying, "We're fine.

1010
01:15:47,422 --> 01:15:50,759
We did this against Gonzaga.

1011
01:15:52,177 --> 01:15:53,387
We've been here before."

1012
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,103
[Packer] Right now,
you can see why Georgetown worked

1013
01:16:01,186 --> 01:16:03,981
their way to a regular season
number one in the Big East.

1014
01:16:05,524 --> 01:16:07,401
[Nantz] Tough pass.
Richards with the steal.

1015
01:16:08,277 --> 01:16:10,487
That's Curry leading the break,
and now the lob.

1016
01:16:10,571 --> 01:16:12,906
And the lay-in by Paulhus Gosselin.

1017
01:16:17,578 --> 01:16:21,039
Tipped out to Richards.
Hoyas though got three men back.

1018
01:16:23,125 --> 01:16:26,253
-[whistle blows]
-And one. It could be a four-point play.

1019
01:16:31,008 --> 01:16:33,135
[Packer] And how about this?
They're pressing.

1020
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:41,602
[Nantz] Curry, tough shot.

1021
01:16:42,186 --> 01:16:45,355
Ball on the floor
and into the arms of Sander for the layup.

1022
01:16:45,898 --> 01:16:47,107
And it's down to nine.

1023
01:16:49,151 --> 01:16:51,904
Curry whips it inside.
Lovedale easily for the layup.

1024
01:16:58,827 --> 01:16:59,995
[Packer] Beautiful pass!

1025
01:17:00,078 --> 01:17:02,289
[Nantz]
Lovedale makes it a two-point game.

1026
01:17:09,171 --> 01:17:10,380
[Packer] What a pass.

1027
01:17:15,302 --> 01:17:18,430
[Nantz] What a nifty move.
With a dipsy-- Oh!

1028
01:17:24,937 --> 01:17:28,148
Here's Curry. Oh, my goodness.
Another three.

1029
01:17:28,232 --> 01:17:30,150
[crowd cheering]

1030
01:17:30,984 --> 01:17:34,321
[Nantz] The two in the Midwest
is in serious jeopardy

1031
01:17:34,821 --> 01:17:38,033
after losing a 17-point second-half lead.

1032
01:17:43,580 --> 01:17:46,291
[Packer] And you do see
the North Carolina fans now

1033
01:17:46,375 --> 01:17:47,835
getting into the action.

1034
01:17:49,336 --> 01:17:52,172
[Nantz] And they're rooting
for this upstart mid-major Davidson,

1035
01:17:52,256 --> 01:17:53,799
out of the Charlotte area.

1036
01:17:57,094 --> 01:17:58,554
Well, you talk about a giant-killer.

1037
01:17:59,847 --> 01:18:01,765
-[Packer] This is big right here.
-[Nantz] Yep.

1038
01:18:01,849 --> 01:18:03,600
What Davidson could pull off right here.

1039
01:18:06,478 --> 01:18:09,231
It's a four-point game, with nine seconds.

1040
01:18:10,440 --> 01:18:11,441
Wallace.

1041
01:18:12,985 --> 01:18:13,986
Shot up, Sapp.

1042
01:18:14,528 --> 01:18:16,780
-No. They-- [stammers]
-[Packer] Oh, Lovedale.

1043
01:18:16,864 --> 01:18:19,449
[Nantz] And talk about David and Goliath,

1044
01:18:19,533 --> 01:18:24,746
I submit to you,
Davidson College to the Sweet 16.

1045
01:18:39,052 --> 01:18:40,262
Hey! Let's go, everybody!

1046
01:18:41,471 --> 01:18:45,100
-It's all y'all! All y'all right here!
-[speaks indistinctly]

1047
01:19:00,032 --> 01:19:02,326
[no audible dialogue]

1048
01:19:14,755 --> 01:19:18,884
[Richards] In the moment, you don't know
the magnitude of what's going on.

1049
01:19:21,512 --> 01:19:24,181
But the next day, my roommate and I,

1050
01:19:24,264 --> 01:19:27,893
Thomas Sander, was going
to the local gas station to f-fill up gas.

1051
01:19:30,312 --> 01:19:33,357
[Sander] I'm there filling up,
and somebody comes out of the store.

1052
01:19:34,525 --> 01:19:36,985
And she goes, "Oh, hey.
You're the guy in the newspaper."

1053
01:19:37,945 --> 01:19:42,533
So, I look over, and on the USA Today,
it's Steph-Steph and I

1054
01:19:42,616 --> 01:19:44,493
in probably one of the most awkward hugs

1055
01:19:44,576 --> 01:19:46,453
you'll ever get from…
[stammers] …a celebration.

1056
01:19:47,037 --> 01:19:49,873
That's when it started to really feel
a l-little different.

1057
01:19:49,957 --> 01:19:52,501
Like, this is a little bit bigger
than we ever expected.

1058
01:20:01,969 --> 01:20:03,136
This isn't supposed to happen.

1059
01:20:03,220 --> 01:20:05,264
Davidson's not supposed to
beat Georgetown.

1060
01:20:05,347 --> 01:20:08,725
Davidson's not supposed to beat Georgetown
down 17 in the second half.

1061
01:20:10,102 --> 01:20:14,857
Stephen Curry looks like a little kid,
but he has got the game of a grown man.

1062
01:20:14,940 --> 01:20:15,983
Get familiar!

1063
01:20:18,277 --> 01:20:20,529
[panelist] Stephen Curry.
I mean this is unbelievable.

1064
01:20:20,612 --> 01:20:22,781
You're down 17 in the NCAA tournament.

1065
01:20:22,865 --> 01:20:25,534
The kid played
with ice water in his veins.

1066
01:20:26,326 --> 01:20:28,161
Really, one of the great stories

1067
01:20:28,245 --> 01:20:30,747
in college basketball
is Curry at Davidson.

1068
01:20:30,831 --> 01:20:34,084
It's a wonderful story. Wasn't recruited
by others and ended up there--

1069
01:20:34,168 --> 01:20:35,252
We had him in our camp.

1070
01:20:35,335 --> 01:20:36,628
-And-- And missed him?
-Missed him?

1071
01:20:36,712 --> 01:20:38,672
-He was about 5'6".
-[chuckles] Oh.

1072
01:20:39,131 --> 01:20:42,968
They are now the darlings of America.
Even though they're not the lowest seed,

1073
01:20:43,051 --> 01:20:45,012
they are obviously
the Cinderella in this tournament.

1074
01:20:46,096 --> 01:20:51,310
And good morning to you
from the campus of Davidson College.

1075
01:20:51,810 --> 01:20:57,649
You know what, Maggie? The last time
this college was in the Sweet 16 was 1969.

1076
01:20:57,733 --> 01:21:00,694
And we've got the entire campus out here.

1077
01:21:01,570 --> 01:21:05,699
Folks, much more from Davidson College
coming up in just a little while.

1078
01:21:06,867 --> 01:21:09,494
Harry, Maggie, we'll send it back to you
in New York.

1079
01:21:25,385 --> 01:21:28,847
[Goldberg] Coming up on today's
Locked On NBA, we rank the playoff teams

1080
01:21:28,931 --> 01:21:32,851
in order of which ones
have the best chance of making the finals.

1081
01:21:32,935 --> 01:21:34,978
[Mares] This is the easiest pick
in the world for me.

1082
01:21:35,062 --> 01:21:36,271
It's gotta be the Phoenix Suns.

1083
01:21:36,355 --> 01:21:38,315
[show host 1]
Phoenix is the best team in the NBA.

1084
01:21:38,398 --> 01:21:40,108
[show host 2] I think the Suns
are gonna win it all this year.

1085
01:21:40,192 --> 01:21:41,193
[show host 1] 1,000%.

1086
01:21:41,276 --> 01:21:43,487
[show host 3]
The Golden State Warriors are much more

1087
01:21:43,570 --> 01:21:45,322
about the sum of their parts,

1088
01:21:45,405 --> 01:21:49,201
and they haven't been on the court
at all together, their three star players.

1089
01:21:49,284 --> 01:21:53,038
[show host 4] It's really as simple as,
is Steph healthy?

1090
01:21:53,121 --> 01:21:56,917
[show host 5] It's gonna be a close call
about his availability on Saturday.

1091
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,753
[show host 6] Honestly, if he's not right,
I don't think they get to the West finals.

1092
01:21:59,837 --> 01:22:02,130
[show host 1] I feel like I know
to a degree who Golden State is,

1093
01:22:02,214 --> 01:22:04,842
but Klay not playing for two years,
trying to find his way,

1094
01:22:04,925 --> 01:22:08,053
Steph coming off the injury
this late in the season.

1095
01:22:08,136 --> 01:22:09,388
There's some questions around

1096
01:22:09,471 --> 01:22:11,890
whether they will be that team
hitting on all cylinders.

1097
01:22:42,129 --> 01:22:44,131
[Ayesha]
I can't wait to see you in a little bit.

1098
01:22:44,214 --> 01:22:46,925
[Stephen] Can't wait to see you too.
I love you.

1099
01:22:48,343 --> 01:22:50,512
I love you more. I'm so excited.

1100
01:22:51,013 --> 01:22:52,639
-Me too.
-[Ayesha] Have a great--

1101
01:22:53,599 --> 01:22:56,018
Have a great game. I'll be watching,
rooting and praying for you.

1102
01:22:56,101 --> 01:22:57,102
Thank you, baby.

1103
01:22:58,937 --> 01:22:59,938
[Ayesha] Get buckets.

1104
01:23:00,022 --> 01:23:01,023
And you know it.

1105
01:23:03,358 --> 01:23:04,818
-[Ayesha] Oh, hey.
-What's up?

1106
01:23:05,652 --> 01:23:06,653
[Ayesha] Have fun out there.

1107
01:23:06,737 --> 01:23:07,738
I will.

1108
01:23:14,620 --> 01:23:17,039
[fans cheering]

1109
01:23:21,126 --> 01:23:24,671
[fans continue cheering]

1110
01:23:26,256 --> 01:23:30,427
[McKillop] As we left for Detroit
to go to the Sweet 16,

1111
01:23:31,845 --> 01:23:34,223
the streets of Davidson
were lined with people

1112
01:23:34,932 --> 01:23:38,018
as if it was a Fourth of July parade.

1113
01:23:39,728 --> 01:23:41,355
And, uh…

1114
01:23:43,065 --> 01:23:45,359
it was as if
you never wanted the ride to end.

1115
01:23:58,413 --> 01:24:00,749
[Richards]
The excitement was unbelievable.

1116
01:24:02,167 --> 01:24:06,713
And we started talking about,
where are we playing next, which arena.

1117
01:24:08,632 --> 01:24:10,801
And someone said,
"We're going to Ford Field."

1118
01:24:12,511 --> 01:24:14,263
Oh, we're playing at a football stadium.

1119
01:24:23,772 --> 01:24:25,816
[Stephen] Playing in a football stadium,

1120
01:24:25,899 --> 01:24:28,068
it was an environment
we had never been in before.

1121
01:24:30,112 --> 01:24:32,739
But we were so comfortable, I think,
in that moment,

1122
01:24:34,199 --> 01:24:36,243
'cause we were playing
with unlimited confidence

1123
01:24:36,326 --> 01:24:38,370
that we were supposed to be there.

1124
01:24:46,295 --> 01:24:50,507
[Matheny] So, we were driving back
from shootaround before the game,

1125
01:24:51,884 --> 01:24:53,093
and I got a phone call.

1126
01:24:53,969 --> 01:24:55,596
It was some Nike executives,

1127
01:24:56,680 --> 01:25:00,559
and they said,
"We just got a call from LeBron.

1128
01:25:01,435 --> 01:25:04,897
He wants to come to your Sweet 16 game
against Wisconsin tonight.

1129
01:25:05,814 --> 01:25:07,149
Can he get eight tickets?"

1130
01:25:07,774 --> 01:25:09,985
And my first thought was,
"You gotta be kidding me."

1131
01:25:10,903 --> 01:25:13,322
[buzzer sounds]

1132
01:25:14,031 --> 01:25:16,366
[no audible dialogue]

1133
01:25:16,450 --> 01:25:18,994
[Stephen] Hearing that Bron
was gonna be at the game,

1134
01:25:19,786 --> 01:25:21,663
we didn't know what to do with ourselves.

1135
01:25:23,165 --> 01:25:27,252
But also, we didn't know
that the Davidson Board of Trustees

1136
01:25:27,336 --> 01:25:31,590
was gonna sponsor busloads of our students
to come to Detroit.

1137
01:25:31,673 --> 01:25:33,217
[students cheering]

1138
01:25:33,300 --> 01:25:36,512
So we had a huge contingency
of fans show up,

1139
01:25:38,388 --> 01:25:39,556
and it was a scene.

1140
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,018
[fans cheering]

1141
01:25:44,436 --> 01:25:46,021
[fans] Whoo!

1142
01:25:46,522 --> 01:25:47,940
[fan] Hi, Mrs. Curry.

1143
01:25:48,023 --> 01:25:52,027
-[Sonya] Whoo!
-[fan 1] Yeah!

1144
01:25:52,110 --> 01:25:56,281
[fans] Go! Go, go, go! Yeah!
Defense! Defense! Defense!

1145
01:25:56,907 --> 01:25:59,284
[spectators cheering]

1146
01:26:04,873 --> 01:26:06,583
[spectators cheering]

1147
01:26:13,924 --> 01:26:17,427
[Gus Johnson] Curry, four to shoot.
He's gotta fire and does.

1148
01:26:17,511 --> 01:26:20,347
And has! That's another three.

1149
01:26:21,181 --> 01:26:25,102
Richards, he's got Curry on the wing.
He's gonna spot up. There he goes.

1150
01:26:27,437 --> 01:26:28,564
And rips it!

1151
01:26:29,273 --> 01:26:32,568
Folks, we got a star in the Motor City!

1152
01:26:35,237 --> 01:26:36,655
-Finds a cutting Curry.
-[whistle blows]

1153
01:26:36,738 --> 01:26:39,616
Oh, my goodness!

1154
01:26:39,700 --> 01:26:42,452
[laughs] Young fella!

1155
01:26:43,328 --> 01:26:44,788
[mouthing] Oh!

1156
01:26:45,956 --> 01:26:47,165
[no audible dialogue]

1157
01:26:47,249 --> 01:26:51,753
[spectators cheering]

1158
01:26:51,837 --> 01:26:53,714
[Johnson] And how about this?

1159
01:26:53,797 --> 01:26:58,427
The Davidson Wildcats
running Wisconsin out of the gym.

1160
01:27:01,138 --> 01:27:03,140
[fan screaming]

1161
01:27:08,645 --> 01:27:11,440
This is incredible.
We're about to go to the Elite Eight!

1162
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:13,233
[screams]

1163
01:27:14,234 --> 01:27:15,736
This is amazing.

1164
01:27:17,696 --> 01:27:19,031
Are you crying?

1165
01:27:20,449 --> 01:27:22,451
[spectators cheering, applauding]

1166
01:27:26,330 --> 01:27:28,457
[Kruse] As a Davidson sports fan,

1167
01:27:29,750 --> 01:27:33,128
that game almost
rejiggered my expectations.

1168
01:27:34,755 --> 01:27:39,051
It was no longer what a thrill,
and in some ways, what a surprise.

1169
01:27:39,134 --> 01:27:40,135
It was…

1170
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,306
"Is--
Are they the best team in the country?"

1171
01:27:53,023 --> 01:27:54,608
[Johnson] Downtown Detroit,

1172
01:27:55,317 --> 01:27:58,028
we are ready
for the Midwest Regional final.

1173
01:27:58,111 --> 01:28:01,406
Top-seeded Kansas
against tenth-seeded Davidson.

1174
01:28:03,742 --> 01:28:04,868
[Johnson] Tell you what,

1175
01:28:04,952 --> 01:28:07,788
Davidson has played killers
this year, folks.

1176
01:28:08,539 --> 01:28:11,542
They are not afraid of this Kansas team.

1177
01:28:15,212 --> 01:28:18,882
[McKillop]
I looked at Kansas, and I thought,

1178
01:28:20,050 --> 01:28:21,969
"The pressure that they're under."

1179
01:28:22,803 --> 01:28:27,140
Can you imagine Kansas loses to Davidson
to get to the Final Four?

1180
01:28:29,101 --> 01:28:30,227
This was our moment.

1181
01:28:32,354 --> 01:28:33,355
Take what is yours.

1182
01:28:35,983 --> 01:28:39,361
[Johnson] Puts it on the floor.
To the bucket. Left-hand scoop!

1183
01:28:39,444 --> 01:28:41,321
-[spectators cheering]
-[Johnson] Mmm.

1184
01:28:43,657 --> 01:28:44,867
Curry again.

1185
01:28:44,950 --> 01:28:47,369
-And buries it.
-[spectators cheering]

1186
01:28:52,207 --> 01:28:54,877
[Johnson] Tough shot. Oh! And it counts!

1187
01:28:56,211 --> 01:28:57,838
Chalmers. Lobs it.

1188
01:28:57,921 --> 01:29:01,550
Oh, Sasha Kaun bangs it down!
And the foul.

1189
01:29:02,968 --> 01:29:04,636
Barr. He hits it from deep.

1190
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,347
Barr again deep in the corner.
And hits it again!

1191
01:29:07,431 --> 01:29:12,227
Barr again from downtown. Oh!
The White Lobster is cookin'!

1192
01:29:16,440 --> 01:29:17,441
And a steal.

1193
01:29:17,524 --> 01:29:20,903
Chalmers drives straight to the basket
and lays it in.

1194
01:29:21,820 --> 01:29:23,488
Arthur, wheeling.

1195
01:29:24,656 --> 01:29:27,784
Jayhawks, a minute away
from the Final Four.

1196
01:29:28,744 --> 01:29:30,412
Curry lets it go.

1197
01:29:30,495 --> 01:29:31,747
And buries it!

1198
01:29:32,497 --> 01:29:34,541
59-57.

1199
01:29:35,751 --> 01:29:38,420
Three to shoot. Lets it go!

1200
01:29:38,504 --> 01:29:40,088
Off the front rim. No.

1201
01:29:40,756 --> 01:29:43,050
-[whistle blows]
-[Johnson] And with 16.8 to go,

1202
01:29:43,133 --> 01:29:45,511
Davidson with life.

1203
01:29:47,679 --> 01:29:49,348
Two-point game.

1204
01:29:49,431 --> 01:29:51,517
A Final Four slot on the line.

1205
01:29:58,649 --> 01:30:01,235
Here's Curry. He may not give this up.

1206
01:30:06,823 --> 01:30:08,659
[Stephen] Against a team like Kansas,

1207
01:30:10,244 --> 01:30:12,412
there was just another level
that we got to.

1208
01:30:14,706 --> 01:30:17,042
We put ourselves in a position
to win the game.

1209
01:30:18,043 --> 01:30:20,128
All the way down to that last possession.

1210
01:30:21,421 --> 01:30:22,881
[Johnson] Frees himself, Curry.

1211
01:30:26,343 --> 01:30:28,053
[McKillop]
We had done everything possible.

1212
01:30:30,138 --> 01:30:32,099
We did everything right.

1213
01:30:35,519 --> 01:30:36,520
We had them.

1214
01:30:38,939 --> 01:30:42,025
And for everyone in the arena…

1215
01:30:44,403 --> 01:30:47,030
it was a moment that time had stopped.

1216
01:30:58,083 --> 01:30:59,960
And as the buzzer went off,

1217
01:31:01,128 --> 01:31:05,465
I see the coach of Kansas, Bill Self,
on the other sideline

1218
01:31:07,092 --> 01:31:10,512
falling to his knees with his hands
in his face as the shot missed.

1219
01:31:11,763 --> 01:31:14,725
[Johnson] Pumps. Kicks it out. Richards.

1220
01:31:14,808 --> 01:31:16,685
-[spectators cheering]
-[Johnson] That is it!

1221
01:31:17,227 --> 01:31:20,314
Kansas holds on!

1222
01:31:20,397 --> 01:31:23,150
And the Jayhawks are heading
to the Final Four.

1223
01:31:23,233 --> 01:31:25,235
[spectators cheering]

1224
01:31:50,969 --> 01:31:52,513
[McKillop] We had emptied our tank.

1225
01:31:56,266 --> 01:32:01,104
And everyone felt the pain

1226
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,483
that individually Jason felt…

1227
01:32:06,860 --> 01:32:08,278
because he took that shot.

1228
01:32:14,409 --> 01:32:17,079
[Richards] It really didn't hit me until,
like, the locker room.

1229
01:32:19,915 --> 01:32:23,210
It's like the-- the family, you know?

1230
01:32:23,293 --> 01:32:26,463
It's-- It's, like, not that you let,
like, the team down,

1231
01:32:26,547 --> 01:32:27,881
but, like, it's…

1232
01:32:30,509 --> 01:32:35,013
Like, that's the last thing,
you don't wanna let your teammate down.

1233
01:32:35,097 --> 01:32:36,306
Like, that's the whole part.

1234
01:32:40,018 --> 01:32:44,231
But it wasn't so much about,
"We're not going to the Final Four."

1235
01:32:46,275 --> 01:32:49,194
It was,
"We're never gonna play again together."

1236
01:32:49,736 --> 01:32:52,823
Because Thomas, myself and Boris
were graduating.

1237
01:32:53,407 --> 01:32:55,617
So it was kinda like the end of an era.

1238
01:32:58,620 --> 01:33:00,581
[Stephen] I had to know what
that was gonna mean for me

1239
01:33:00,664 --> 01:33:02,249
coming back the next year.

1240
01:33:06,336 --> 01:33:13,051
But I think about what Jay Rich
and Thomas and Max and Boris

1241
01:33:13,135 --> 01:33:18,015
all meant to, like,
me and my confidence as a player,

1242
01:33:18,098 --> 01:33:21,685
and, like, you don't do anything
in this life by yourself.

1243
01:33:21,768 --> 01:33:24,438
And, you know, like, the confidence
of the group is your superpower.

1244
01:33:24,521 --> 01:33:27,482
And those four guys unlocked that for me.

1245
01:33:27,566 --> 01:33:29,568
[rain pattering]

1246
01:33:35,532 --> 01:33:37,159
[McKillop sighs] You go first.

1247
01:33:40,329 --> 01:33:42,873
[Stephen exhales deeply]
Good morning, everybody.

1248
01:33:42,956 --> 01:33:45,501
Uh, thanks for coming today. Um…

1249
01:33:47,169 --> 01:33:53,008
[sighs] …after a lot of discussion with my
parents, Coach McKillop and my teammates,

1250
01:33:54,051 --> 01:34:00,015
I have decided to forgo my senior year
and enter the NBA draft this year.

1251
01:34:02,226 --> 01:34:05,812
The last three years have been some
of the most enjoyable times of my life,

1252
01:34:05,896 --> 01:34:07,231
both on and off the court,

1253
01:34:07,314 --> 01:34:09,816
and I will always cherish
my time here at Davidson.

1254
01:34:11,527 --> 01:34:14,029
I wanna thank Coach McKillop
and our coaching staff

1255
01:34:14,112 --> 01:34:16,240
for just giving me a chance to do well.

1256
01:34:17,407 --> 01:34:20,702
And I hope to finish what I started
and get a Davidson degree at some point.

1257
01:34:21,286 --> 01:34:22,996
-[cameras click]
-[Stephen sighs]

1258
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:24,873
[cameras clicking]

1259
01:34:26,875 --> 01:34:29,211
I've been, uh, incredibly fortunate…

1260
01:34:33,757 --> 01:34:36,718
uh, to have this opportunity to coach him
for these three years.

1261
01:34:40,472 --> 01:34:45,185
You know, we're here with a sense of, uh,
sadness. Almost like we're at a funeral.

1262
01:34:45,769 --> 01:34:48,063
But we also have
a tremendous balance in life.

1263
01:34:48,146 --> 01:34:49,523
There's a celebration here.

1264
01:34:49,606 --> 01:34:51,984
Celebration
of what this young man represents.

1265
01:34:52,526 --> 01:34:56,989
And, um, we're just thrilled
for this opportunity for him,

1266
01:34:57,072 --> 01:35:01,159
and, uh, we know that he's gonna
continue to wear Davidson on his heart

1267
01:35:01,243 --> 01:35:03,412
as he has done for these past three years.

1268
01:35:07,666 --> 01:35:09,042
[McKillop] He cherished it.

1269
01:35:10,169 --> 01:35:13,380
And giving up something
that you cherish is never easy,

1270
01:35:15,174 --> 01:35:17,968
but he felt he was ready
for that next step in his journey.

1271
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:35,694
[Stern] The Golden State Warriors select
Stephen Curry from Davidson College.

1272
01:35:35,777 --> 01:35:37,070
[audience cheering]

1273
01:35:41,658 --> 01:35:44,119
[sportscaster] The question is,
can he make the transition?

1274
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,706
Is he gonna be strong enough
against NBA defenders

1275
01:35:47,789 --> 01:35:49,750
over the course of an 82-game schedule?

1276
01:35:52,002 --> 01:35:54,004
[audience cheering]

1277
01:35:56,298 --> 01:35:57,633
[sportscaster] And there's just this sense

1278
01:35:57,716 --> 01:36:00,219
that he's not a big-time athlete
on the basketball floor.

1279
01:36:00,302 --> 01:36:02,971
So it's gonna be interesting to see
where he pans out.

1280
01:36:05,724 --> 01:36:07,976
-[spectators clamoring]
-[Stephen grunts]

1281
01:36:08,060 --> 01:36:11,271
[commentator 1] Steph is hurt.
Steph Curry is hurt.

1282
01:36:11,772 --> 01:36:13,815
[commentator 2]
Shot clock down to five seconds.

1283
01:36:14,399 --> 01:36:16,276
Uh-oh. And you don't wanna see that.

1284
01:36:17,444 --> 01:36:18,820
[commentator 2]
I don't know what happened.

1285
01:36:19,530 --> 01:36:20,572
[Stephen grunting]

1286
01:36:20,656 --> 01:36:22,491
[commentator 3] Curry hurt his foot again.

1287
01:36:22,991 --> 01:36:24,493
[commentator 4] Just heartbreaking.

1288
01:36:26,328 --> 01:36:28,622
-[commentator 4] Same ankle.
-[commentator 5] Look at that.

1289
01:36:28,705 --> 01:36:30,415
[commentator 6] Holy macaron--

1290
01:36:30,499 --> 01:36:32,709
[commentator 5]
Over and over and over again.

1291
01:36:34,211 --> 01:36:37,047
[sportscaster] Curry underwent surgery
on his right ankle.

1292
01:36:37,130 --> 01:36:39,341
He will miss three to four months.

1293
01:36:41,426 --> 01:36:43,011
[sighs, grunts]

1294
01:36:43,095 --> 01:36:45,055
-[physical therapist] Over. Good.
-[sighs]

1295
01:36:48,517 --> 01:36:49,476
[grunts]

1296
01:36:55,148 --> 01:36:56,942
[commentator 1]
Curry through the lane. And in!

1297
01:36:57,818 --> 01:36:59,695
How did he make that?

1298
01:37:00,612 --> 01:37:02,698
-[commentator 2] Curry splits the defense.
-[Mike Breen] Behind the back.

1299
01:37:03,282 --> 01:37:05,492
Fires a three. It's good!

1300
01:37:05,576 --> 01:37:07,703
And the dream season is complete.

1301
01:37:07,786 --> 01:37:11,498
The Golden State Warriors
are the 2015 NBA champions.

1302
01:37:11,582 --> 01:37:14,209
Their first title in 40 years.

1303
01:37:15,794 --> 01:37:20,257
[Breen] There it is.
The Warriors are NBA champions again.

1304
01:37:21,925 --> 01:37:24,511
[Breen]
There's a new dynasty in the NBA.

1305
01:37:24,595 --> 01:37:27,055
Back-to-back titles. Three in four years.

1306
01:37:29,892 --> 01:37:32,019
[Breen]
Thompson grabs his left knee.

1307
01:37:32,603 --> 01:37:34,104
Now writhing in pain.

1308
01:37:35,564 --> 01:37:36,940
It's over.

1309
01:37:37,024 --> 01:37:40,861
The Raptors, the 2019 NBA champs.

1310
01:37:42,946 --> 01:37:44,531
[Colin Cowherd] This is how it ends.

1311
01:37:44,615 --> 01:37:47,367
The Warriors dynasty,
I think it ends tonight.

1312
01:37:48,076 --> 01:37:51,079
[sportscaster 1] We will never
see Steph in another NBA Finals ever.

1313
01:37:51,163 --> 01:37:52,497
They have no path forward.

1314
01:37:52,581 --> 01:37:54,917
[sportscaster 2] This group will not
make the playoffs next year.

1315
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,169
[Cowherd] Players get old, injured.

1316
01:37:57,252 --> 01:37:58,795
[sportscaster 3] Curry can't do it.

1317
01:37:58,879 --> 01:38:01,798
[commentator 1] He's dripping sweat.
There's just nothing left.

1318
01:38:16,563 --> 01:38:18,690
[commentator] Tough shot. Got it.

1319
01:38:22,528 --> 01:38:28,075
And the Golden State Warriors
dispatch the Nuggets in five games.

1320
01:38:31,161 --> 01:38:35,123
[commentator 2] It's gonna be a different
series now against the Memphis Grizzlies.

1321
01:38:35,207 --> 01:38:37,793
[sportscaster] This Warriors team's
not winning more playoff games.

1322
01:38:37,876 --> 01:38:39,920
It is impossible for me to believe.

1323
01:38:41,630 --> 01:38:46,385
[commentator 3] Curry dishing.
Looney, extra D. To Green for the flush.

1324
01:38:46,468 --> 01:38:50,347
Thompson, back to Curry.
Curry, a three. He got it!

1325
01:38:51,598 --> 01:38:57,187
The Golden State Warriors are heading back
to the Western Conference Finals.

1326
01:38:58,689 --> 01:39:01,567
[sportscaster] I'm still not
completely sold on Golden State.

1327
01:39:01,650 --> 01:39:06,738
Is Steph tall enough? Strong enough?
Defensive enough?

1328
01:39:06,822 --> 01:39:08,073
[spectators cheering]

1329
01:39:08,156 --> 01:39:13,203
[commentator] It was blocked by Curry.
Blocked by Curry on the three.

1330
01:39:13,287 --> 01:39:14,705
Curry shooting.

1331
01:39:16,915 --> 01:39:18,125
They're on their feet,

1332
01:39:18,208 --> 01:39:24,256
and their Warriors
are going to the NBA Finals again.

1333
01:39:24,756 --> 01:39:26,341
[spectators cheering]

1334
01:39:27,384 --> 01:39:30,637
[sportscaster 1] With Golden State,
I don't see how they win this series.

1335
01:39:31,430 --> 01:39:32,973
[sportscaster 2]
I like the Boston Celtics.

1336
01:39:33,056 --> 01:39:34,558
[sportscaster 3] Like the Celtics in six.

1337
01:39:34,641 --> 01:39:36,935
[sportscaster 4]
The Celtics are winning it all. Period.

1338
01:39:38,478 --> 01:39:41,732
[Breen] Tatum on the drive.
Kicks it out. Smart, corner three.

1339
01:39:44,026 --> 01:39:46,278
Gets it back. Layup blocked by Brown.

1340
01:39:46,945 --> 01:39:48,822
Boston Celtics take game three.

1341
01:39:48,906 --> 01:39:50,741
They're two wins away from a title.

1342
01:39:52,910 --> 01:39:54,953
[sportscaster 1] Now the Warriors
have to win three out of four.

1343
01:39:55,037 --> 01:39:56,997
[sportscaster 2]
Even the most die-hard Warriors fan's

1344
01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:58,790
gonna say that's very unlikely.

1345
01:39:59,374 --> 01:40:01,126
[sportscaster 1] The Celtics look
like the better team.

1346
01:40:01,210 --> 01:40:04,171
The Celtics are the younger team.
They're the more athletic team.

1347
01:40:04,254 --> 01:40:06,423
[sportscaster 3] We talk about what kind
of player you have to have

1348
01:40:06,507 --> 01:40:07,799
to win a championship.

1349
01:40:07,883 --> 01:40:09,593
If Steph Curry isn't that, who is?

1350
01:40:09,676 --> 01:40:11,428
[sportscaster 4]
Well, he's borderline not that now.

1351
01:40:11,512 --> 01:40:12,971
[sportscaster 5] I have yet to see

1352
01:40:13,055 --> 01:40:17,226
a no-excuses-Steph-led Warriors team
win a championship.

1353
01:40:20,312 --> 01:40:23,774
[commentator] Curry… [laughs]
…with a beautiful move and off the glass.

1354
01:40:23,857 --> 01:40:25,651
[Breen]
Curry steps back. Three pointer. Got it.

1355
01:40:26,193 --> 01:40:27,945
Another long-distance shot. It's good!

1356
01:40:28,028 --> 01:40:30,822
Steph Curry launches a three. Curry again.

1357
01:40:30,906 --> 01:40:35,702
[laughs] Steph Curry from way downtown.
He's got 30 points.

1358
01:40:36,620 --> 01:40:38,956
What a performance from Stephen Curry.

1359
01:40:39,039 --> 01:40:41,667
The NBA Finals are tied
at two games apiece,

1360
01:40:41,750 --> 01:40:46,255
as the brilliance of Steph Curry
on full display here in Boston.

1361
01:40:47,714 --> 01:40:49,925
[Breen] Curry goes coast to coast,
lays it up and in.

1362
01:40:50,008 --> 01:40:52,845
Curry to Wiggins.
Wiggins, the layup. It's good.

1363
01:40:52,928 --> 01:40:58,809
Wiggins drives and finishes!
Exclamation point from Andrew Wiggins.

1364
01:41:00,644 --> 01:41:04,189
[Breen] Curry drives on Smart.
Gets inside. Left-handed, banks it home.

1365
01:41:04,273 --> 01:41:06,233
Curry catches. Fakes.

1366
01:41:06,316 --> 01:41:08,569
Fires three-pointer. Bang!

1367
01:41:08,652 --> 01:41:12,364
Steph Curry from downtown.
A 15-point lead.

1368
01:41:14,366 --> 01:41:16,368
[spectators cheering]

1369
01:41:17,411 --> 01:41:20,789
[Breen] The realization is underway
for Golden State.

1370
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,129
[spectators cheering]

1371
01:41:27,212 --> 01:41:29,298
[Breen] Steph Curry getting emotional.

1372
01:41:30,674 --> 01:41:33,302
It might be his fourth,
but it means so much.

1373
01:41:34,553 --> 01:41:36,555
[buzzer sounding]

1374
01:42:02,539 --> 01:42:06,460
[player] Come on, 30! Come on, 30!
Come on!

1375
01:42:06,543 --> 01:42:08,629
-Get my family up here.
-I'm gonna get 'em for you.

1376
01:42:08,712 --> 01:42:10,255
-My family…
-I'm gonna get 'em for you.

1377
01:42:13,383 --> 01:42:14,510
[Ayesha squeals]

1378
01:42:16,595 --> 01:42:20,015
You gonna have red lipstick.
What the hell just happened?

1379
01:42:23,310 --> 01:42:25,604
[commentator]
He's a four-time NBA champion.

1380
01:42:26,688 --> 01:42:28,941
A two-time league MVP.

1381
01:42:29,525 --> 01:42:31,652
And for the first time ever,

1382
01:42:31,735 --> 01:42:35,906
the NBA Finals MVP award
goes to Stephen Curry!

1383
01:42:35,989 --> 01:42:36,990
[cheering, applauding]

1384
01:42:37,074 --> 01:42:40,994
[players] MVP! MVP! MVP!

1385
01:42:41,078 --> 01:42:46,708
MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!

1386
01:42:46,792 --> 01:42:48,085
[spectators cheering]

1387
01:42:50,504 --> 01:42:52,756
Yeah!

1388
01:42:53,340 --> 01:42:55,801
[crowd cheering]

1389
01:43:12,276 --> 01:43:13,735
[Stephen] How did I get here?

1390
01:43:14,987 --> 01:43:17,865
If you walked into a gym
and saw me 20 years ago,

1391
01:43:18,740 --> 01:43:21,535
there's no way you would think
any of this was possible.

1392
01:43:24,288 --> 01:43:27,583
And that feeling
of being overlooked or underrated

1393
01:43:28,625 --> 01:43:31,587
will always be part of the drive
that keeps me going.

1394
01:43:34,173 --> 01:43:37,801
But also, I've just been blessed
to have so many people in my life

1395
01:43:37,885 --> 01:43:42,931
that took the time to get the sense
of who I really was.

1396
01:43:45,559 --> 01:43:47,227
I'll remember that forever.

1397
01:43:54,818 --> 01:43:58,822
[Hicks] We are extremely proud
to call ourselves your home team,

1398
01:43:59,907 --> 01:44:03,285
your base of support,
your cheering section.

1399
01:44:04,745 --> 01:44:08,582
I mean the entire Davidson community
who stands with you

1400
01:44:08,665 --> 01:44:11,543
and surrounds you
with our hearts and our minds.

1401
01:44:14,755 --> 01:44:16,423
It would have been so easy,

1402
01:44:17,090 --> 01:44:20,344
so straightforward
not to complete your college degree.

1403
01:44:21,762 --> 01:44:26,475
But he did it.
And this is a dream come true for me.

1404
01:44:27,059 --> 01:44:30,938
I am so thankful and blessed
to be able to look at you,

1405
01:44:31,855 --> 01:44:35,817
see you with your gown on officially,

1406
01:44:35,901 --> 01:44:38,904
knowing you earned this.

1407
01:44:40,447 --> 01:44:42,658
[Hicks] Wardell Stephen Curry II,

1408
01:44:43,617 --> 01:44:47,204
I hereby affirm
the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

1409
01:44:47,287 --> 01:44:48,664
Congratulations.

1410
01:44:48,747 --> 01:44:51,166
[audience cheering]

1411
01:45:07,140 --> 01:45:09,142
[cheering continues]

1412
01:45:31,290 --> 01:45:35,294
[Stephen] This is an absolutely
amazing day, an amazing moment.

1413
01:45:37,004 --> 01:45:39,256
Every single person
that I got to play with

1414
01:45:39,756 --> 01:45:42,801
lives with me every single time
that I step foot on the court.

1415
01:45:43,468 --> 01:45:45,971
It speaks to how much
this place means to me.

1416
01:45:47,556 --> 01:45:49,308
But most importantly,

1417
01:45:49,391 --> 01:45:52,144
I played for an amazing man.

1418
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:55,814
Somebody who has so much compassion,

1419
01:45:56,356 --> 01:45:57,983
care,

1420
01:45:58,066 --> 01:46:01,570
love for every single person
that you come in contact with.

1421
01:46:03,322 --> 01:46:05,282
None of this is possible without you.

1422
01:46:05,866 --> 01:46:08,493
[audience cheering, whistling]

1423
01:46:47,282 --> 01:46:49,368
[Payne] All right, Steph. Ready?

1424
01:46:55,249 --> 01:47:00,087
Top two. Wing three. Top two. Wing three.
Here we go.

1425
01:47:02,881 --> 01:47:04,216
One.

1426
01:47:05,801 --> 01:47:07,135
-[groans]
-[Payne] Two.

1427
01:47:08,011 --> 01:47:09,930
-Three.
-Yeah!

1428
01:47:10,430 --> 01:47:12,850
["Lil Fish, Big Pond" playing]

1429
01:47:37,541 --> 01:47:40,335
"Needs to add some muscle
to his upper body

1430
01:47:40,419 --> 01:47:43,463
but appears as though
he'll always be skinny."

1431
01:47:44,506 --> 01:47:50,095
They said the same thing,
the exact same thing, about me.

1432
01:47:51,013 --> 01:47:54,558
I think what surprised me the most

1433
01:47:54,641 --> 01:47:58,187
was his ability to shoot from deep.

1434
01:47:58,270 --> 01:48:01,607
-[commentator 1] Is he feeling it?
-[commentator 2] Yes. Steph three.

1435
01:48:01,690 --> 01:48:03,317
Got another one!

1436
01:48:04,484 --> 01:48:09,072
He changed how people view the NBA now.

1437
01:48:09,156 --> 01:48:10,199
One player.

1438
01:48:10,282 --> 01:48:15,871
All 30 teams now base their play
off the three-point line,

1439
01:48:17,039 --> 01:48:18,916
and that is because of Stephen Curry.

1440
01:48:19,958 --> 01:48:23,962
[Breen] Bang! Bang!
Oh, what a shot from Curry!

1441
01:48:24,046 --> 01:48:28,258
And he ties the NBA record
with his 12th three-pointer of the game.
