Stephen Curry Heard Rumors That His Love of Golf Is Why Timberwolves Didn't Draft Him

David Kahn might have really outthought himself during the 2009 draft.

It's been well documented that in that draft, Kahn, who was general manager for the Minnesota Timberwolves at the time, decided to pass on eventual two-time MVP Stephen Curry. Minnesota chose to select point guards Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn back-to-back with the No. 5 and No. 6 picks, while the Davidson product fell to the Golden State Warriors at No. 7.

In his appearance on the latest episode of Bill Simmons's BS Podcast, Curry explained a theory he heard about why the Timberwolves skipped on him in the draft.
