Steph Curry is now a 10-year NBA veteran. Don Nelson, who drafted him, is incredulous in the “time flies” manner of a father talking about a son.
“That is unbelievably scary,” said Nelson, speaking Wednesday on KNBR’s Tolbert & Lund show. “Here he’s an old veteran. Good grief. And he still looks like a kid.”
Curry’s first NBA season coincided with Nellie’s 47th and last. The likelihood of those two disparate figures sharing that adventure together?
“Oh, I never thought we’d get him. It took Minnesota taking three point guards ahead of him,” Nelson said, laughing.
