Curry honored by high school, college in return to Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Stephen Curry said he doesn’t have many regrets in life.

But the two-time NBA MVP shared one on Tuesday, saying he wishes he had tried out for the varsity team as a freshman rather than settle for playing junior varsity.

“I went through some doubts about whether I could play on the varsity level at the time,” Curry said before a halftime ceremony at Charlotte Christian High in which his No. 20 — yes, No. 20 — jersey was retired.

Tryouts back then were in separate gyms — the varsity in the upper gym and the junior varsity in the lower gym.
