Ayesha Curry thought Steph was just going to be a high school basketball coach: “I didn’t know he was going to end up playing basketball — he said he wanted to be a high school basketball coach.”

  1. The rare case where Curry chose playing the game over watching others play the gane

  2. Not sure why people are calling bullshit like it’s so far fetched. They met in high school. Steph wasn’t on anyone’s radar then, there’s a reason why he went to Davidson, no major school wanted him

  3. If she dated a 6’2 shooting guard whose best option was Davidson because she thought he was a multi-year NBA starter, she’s a helluva talent evaluator for real.

  4. They met in high school before he had that ~~St Mary’s~~ run. Not that unbelievable imo.

    edit: lol.

  5. Some bitter ass people in the comments. She must be a great scout to know he was gonna be a star nba player from high school. We don’t know the behind the scenes so why just assume the worst

  6. Not a single person thought Curry would become the greatest shooter of all time after March Madness. Hell, it wasn’t even given he’d be an everyday player or have a long career.

  7. This tracks tbh. Steph wasn’t being headhunted, he was Dell’s son but no one was giving him offers like he was a potential NBA player. We didn’t know he was going to change the way basketball was played yet

  8. This is very believable. People who play at Davidson do not get TRYOUTS in the NBA, let alone drafted in the first round. Steph had a very unusual path to the NBA.

  9. Love stories like Steph, Jokic and Giannis. No one really saw them becoming these multi MVP, Franchise type, NBA icons when they were drafted.

  10. I watched Steph Curry play in high school several times. I agree with her. I had no clue he would be an NBA player let alone win multiple MVPs.

  11. This was a very cute interview.  The funniest part was Ayesha talking about how all the girls in church had crushes on Steph and that she used her Canadian background to smuggle Canadian candy to him.

  12. I am genuinely curious why this has everyone bothered so much? I wonder what his other Davidson classmates are doing with there life.

    I am curious though after Steph’s davidson run was there an opportunity for him to enter the draft that year or did he have to do another year at school?

  13. Not that surprising. Even Dell himself said he thought Steph would at best succeed overseas

  14. They seem happy and this is probably why. They legitimately found a connection. Celebs and athletes do have amazing lives but I think love is actually pretty hard to find. Tons of people out there with alterior motives.

  15. Man I hope Steph gets to achieve his dream of being a high school basketball coach one day

  16. Everyone in the comments might be right but for Ayesha’s pov I completely believe it. Your partner might not be the most knowledged in your field of work. That prob isn’t the primary reason you ended w them so for her to say that makes sense. All you dudes that watched him to the level you commented, yes you might be able to see it but for her it was different.

  17. It’s not like she was dating some random guy. He’s literally Dell Curry’s son…
