Stephen Curry and Anthony Marrow
Stephen Curry is having a great offseason after winning his 4th NBA title. Finals MVP award was the only award left from Curry’s cabinet before 2022, and he did win the same this postseason only. He played golf, hosted EPSYs award night, and had a great vacation also. Curry also hosted his annual “Curry Camp” in San Francisco in partnership with Under Armour and his Curry Brand. He was asked a question about his feared opponent in high school days after the camp.
Sports journalist Caleb Hanna interviewed the reigning Champion Steph after the camp and asked him who the best player in high school was. Curry answered, “Anthony Morrow, yeah. He was a Charlotte legend, still is a Charlotte legend. But I was a sophomore and he was a senior. He was a god, like, could shoot, was 6’5″, could post up, he could do everything. The best player I’ve played against for sure.”
Steph Curry revealed the name of the best player he went up against back in Charlotte, North Carolina. Though many might not recall the player in a flash, he was also a Golden State Warriors star, from 2008-2010.
Stephen Curry and Anthony Morrow had some great history together.
Anthony Morrow and Stephen Curry are both from Charlotte, North Carolina, and have shared a bond ever since they were kids in high school. Morrow was 2 years senior to Steph, and attended Charlotte Latin School, while Curry attended Charlotte Christian School. The two schools are merely six miles away. Morrow went on to play for Georgia Tech in college days, while 2-time MVP Steph played for Davidson.
Morrow joined the Golden State Warriors after going undrafted in 2008 but joined their Summer League and then signed with them. He played with the Dubs till 2010, joining Stephen Curry for the latter’s rookie season (2009-10). Their bond grew after they became teammates with the Warriors in 2009. The two crushed the competition in the 2009 NBA Summer League. The Warriors trio (along with Anthony Rudolph) was in the top 20 in scoring in the league, with Rudolph and Morrow sharing the top two spots.
Morrow was effective from long range, and managed an average of 25 points in summer league, while Rudolph had the best summer league games averaging 27 points per game. Young Curry contributed 17.4 points a night.
Morrow was very close to Steph from start and even gave him “Middle School Shawty” in 2009-10 to show how Curry played joyfully like a middle-schooler. Steph Curry was also a guest on Anthony Morrow’s “The Life Podcast,” In the episode, Morrow revealed, “I had a nickname for Steph when we were with the Warriors — his nickname was ‘Middle School Shawty.’ He played carefree like he was in middle school, but it was effective. And he turned into one of the GOATs, man.”
4-time NBA champion had achieved a lot since making huge progress in his game. Anthony Morrow congratulated Steph for winning his first MVP award back in 2015. Steph Curry has faced a lot of great all-time players so it must be particularly delightful for Anthony Morrow to receive praise from the four-time champion.
