Remembering how Stephen Curry became a Warrior 10 years ago

It was 10 years ago Tuesday when the Warriors’ fortunes finally changed as Stephen Curry somehow dropped into their laps on draft night.

Now and even years from now, all anyone will remember is that the 2009 NBA Draft brought us the greatest shooter in basketball history.

Oh, they may also remember June 25, 2009 as a somber night for much of the world because of Michael Jackson’s stunning death. But they may not recall Curry’s family and agent imploring the Warriors, perhaps the league’s most dysfunctional franchise, to please not draft him.
