    Yep. There's always an ingredient to success on the next level that is hard to measure. Some make that breakthrough and others don't. And there's not always a good "reason". Most of the reasons guys come up with in hindsight is just looking at the outcome to try to create a reason. There's been people less talented than Jimmer, smaller and less athletic as well who have made it at the next level. TJ McConnell for example. Jimmer beats him in every measurable and was clearly more talented, but TJ McConnell is a mainstay in the NBA and Jimmer couldn't last and wasn't even able to make a comeback in a 3pt happy era despite several attempts.

    Curry’s release is lightning fast - much faster than Morrison or Fredette. His away from the ball movement is also pure artistry - and he never gets tired so can move continuously in patterns that are crazy hard to defend for a full possession.

    I remember watching this game in a pretty packed bar on a Sunday afternoon drinking Heinekens (nostalgic notation as someone now sober) and enjoying a great game with a fun atmosphere. 95% of the bar was rooting for Davidson, and I bet more than half of them couldn't even tell you what state Davidson college is in. That Davidson team not only had the great Curry, but went 20-0 in conference play, won their conference tournament with ease, and was riding a 25 game winning streak coming into the Kansas game. Needless to say, they gave the eventual champs all they wanted, and certainly gave them a better game than another team from North Carolina did in the Final Four that year.

    I've been watching the NCAA Tournament ever since 1990. This is probably the greatest NCAA Tournament performance run by any player that I've seen in the history of the tournament. Steph Curry carried that Davidson team. If Curry didn't play for Davidson, they wouldn't have made it that far in the tournament as they did that year or to be honest not have made it to the tournament at all. I bet top college coaches were beating themselves in the head after watching Curry's tournament performance since there were no top major college basketball programs recruiting Curry out of high school.
