Photo: When Stephen Curry met Nellie


Yo Don Nelson's so old, he gave new Golden State Warriors draft pick Stephen Curry(notes) a noogie and some quarters for the arcade during the '92 NBA All-Star Weekend Three-Point Shootout in Orlando.

That was not a joke. Steph was just three-years-old.

Mitch Richmond? 'Bout 27.

    Somehow, Steph looks younger now than he did back then. . .

    Damn I'm old. I still remember watching Dell Curry play alongside Zo and Grandmama with the Charlotte Hornets.

    Hope that all the rest of the team stays along with Curry, and give this team a chance to get to improve . Well lets see if Nellie keeps his word,seeing if he lives up to the statement that he lets Curry stay for long time.

    #8 You are dead wrong. We will play this rookie because he has the NBA skills and knowlege already. He learned alot from his dad, Dell Curry. Now you have a hint of who I am!!

    As a longtime Warriors fan, I would rather have them trade for Chrish Bosh than Amare Stoudemire. Amare have had numerous medical issues in the past and I hate to see the Warriors get him not being 100%. If they can get Bosh for Biedrins, Belinelli and Wright that would be best in my opinion.
    Imagine a lineup of Curry, Ellis, Jackson, Randolph and Bosh. That would be awesome. Off the bench with Azubuike, Maggette, Turiaf, Morrow, Watson, Law....wow a very good GSW roster and a playoff roster indeed.
