TORONTO — The first time Casey Field met Stephen Curry, he found him sitting alone against the wall during eighth-grade recess. The school year had started at Queensway Christian College in Toronto, but this was Curry’s first day. Field remembers his basketball coach James Lackey telling him that a new student was joining the class. His dad was an NBA player, Field was told, maybe he could help him feel comfortable.
So Field approached Curry and asked if he played basketball. “Yeah, I play a little bit,” Curry replied.
