Criticize Stephen Curry's defense? His college coach says James Harden 'a joke' on D | Charlotte Observer

Davidson’s Bob McKillop shepherded Steph Curry’s All-American career in college and remains very close to the best player he has ever coached.

McKillop shared some thoughts on Curry’s performance Sunday night, as well as on the Golden State-Houston NBA playoff series and the way Curry is responding to Houston attacking him on defense. Here are some of McKillop's thoughts from our interview Monday.
