Warriors Draft Curry I The Pick That Screwed The Knicks
Спорт
NBA draft night in 2009 didn’t unfold as planned for New York. Instead it was the trajectory of another long-suffering franchise, on the country’s opposite coast, that was forever altered.

Precisely. Ending up in Golden State alongside Monte Ellis when he was at his best allowed him to develop. Anyone with half a brain who watched him at Davidson would have known he had the potential to be the best player on a team (not the all-time great he has become, but still an All-Star caliber player), but his slight build and those ankles would have rolled all over the Madison Square Garden floor if they pushed him too soon.
Whether the Knicks drafted Curry or not, they would have found a way to mess it up. GSW stuck through the issues with Curry's ankles early in his career. Knicks probably would have traded him for peanuts.

He was almost traded to both Phoenix and Milwaukee as well. And then the Clippers. As a Warriors fan I can only thank God none of this happened.
The best thing that happened to Curry was when the Warriors was sold to the Joe Lacob ownership group. Had Chris Cohen still own it, Warriors would still be in a ditch. Curry would have become maybe a respectable All-Star. LIkely, traded to somewhere else and do better things.

Great question. Golden State seems to have run into so much good luck after picking Steph that you can't say it happened by design. As someone else pointed out, had the Warriors not sold the team to Guber and Lacob, Steph's career could have gone in an entire different direction. You also have to consider the effect of Steph's early ankle injuries and how they contributed to him being the biggest bargain in the NBA for a few years and allowed the team additional financial flexibility. Then you add the drafting of Klay, Draymond along with the shrewd move of trading away Monta Ellis for Bogut, the firing of Mark Jackson, hiring Steve Kerr, signing KD, losing KD and Klay, then Steph to injury then winning the chip 2 years later. Talk about improbable!

Houston offered 25 million for a 3 year contract which the Knicks didn't want to match, and also because Carmelo Anthony didn't like the position he was going to be in if Jeremy Lin stayed with the team. The Knicks never got enough with Carmelo alone on the team, since, he likes playing hero ball, and Houston decided to give the team to James Harden rather than let Jeremy Lin lead. There's a lot of drama up in the box seats on the ownership level and players are just the pawns.

As a knick fan , I think about this everytime the draft comes around . When Minnesota passed on him I got excited he might actually fall into our laps , too bad the front office was that naive as well . Pretty sure Monta Ellis was on golden state so if you swapped picks and gave them a future 1st that prolly would have done it .
i can't imagine how negative Knicks would do to Curry's career.....so glad that did not happen...
Everybody thinking he was too small too skinny not athlethic enough overlooking hes pure talent and skills that is already displayed in davidson. Kudos to warriors talent scouts eagle eye 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Remember Warriors had garbage ownership around this time we’re trash for almost a decade since 1993. Things changed when new ownership came in 2011-2012. So at the time he wasn’t so lucky. Things changed when new ownership came. The Knicks need new ownership or the NBA should get involved and move Dolan out. It’s sad Knicks haven’t been winners since at least 2000. Same thing in Toronto it was bad management and terrible leadership from MLSE until new leadership came. Allot of these teams are bad because of poor leadership inside the ownership. Same thing in Seattle when the Starbucks guy brought the Sonics in 2001 everything went to hell.
This really should be a video about Minnesota. They had the two picks directly before he was drafted...and they took 2 POINT GUARDS over him!

He also implanted a pass heavy offense.

From a lifelong Warriors fan, you need to include the fact that Golden State had a trade set up in place with the Phoenix Suns to move the #7 pick to them ONLY if Stephen Curry wasn't still available. The Suns were convinced that they were getting Steph Curry on draft night, but Don Nelson was a key Curry supporter. So it really goes: Steph is a Warrior, or Steph is a Phoenix Sun, but either way Steph Curry doesn't make it to the #8 pick.
As a knick fan this shit still hurt i remember watching the draft and hearing him say he wanted to be a knick just for Don nelson to do us greasy.

nice vid bro
Good information. While Curry would make any team better, there's no guarantee that Knick fans would have seen titles with him. The Warriors have done a brilliant job of building a team around his talents, and drafting for chemistry and balance, with Green, Thompson so many different players coming in and out of that alignment over the last 8 years. Great leadership, coaching and of course Steph Curry's brilliant game, and team first mentality, combined to create one of the most successful runs in NBA history.
During Steph Curry's rookie season Don Nelson gave Curry a dressed DNP during their only game at MSG that year
I always laugh at the footage of Steph and Dell the moment they announced the pick. They both looked so disappointed lol
Curry became the man he was because of Golden State, this theory credits NYK with too much good player development, which we know they don't have.
It’s always fun to think of what if… but a lot of the time what made someone who they were was the team AND situation they fell into. Many people who flaired out in the league could’ve been far more if they started elsewhere. Same for stars who were great. They could’ve been nothing if they were in a different system. Plus location and outside issues, which NY is full of. The list of possible reasons for success or failure is huge. We’ll never know for sure but it’s been obvious that NYK is usually a poor fit for most basketball players. Had Curry started there he probably would’ve never became what he did
Netflix's movie "Hustle" is like a parallel autobiography of SC30. Movie was fresh and so does this video.
Even the jerseys Warriors wore, that 3 point record night, looked very similar to a Knicks jersey. Its almost as though reality frequently taunts New York fans.
the greatest thing about the Knicks are their fans
Knicks would not have had the patience for his injuries; they probably would've traded him by 2011 or 2012, and considering he went to superstar status by 2013...
Do you really think that Curry would have improved the Knicks fortunes? Management would likely have thrown him away following an ankle injury or failed to provide him with a point forward and fellow splash brother, both of which helped Steph move from outstanding to transcendent. The Knicks are neither strategic nor patient enough to know how to utilize an asset like Curry
Thank you, Minnesota. Thank you for passing on Steph and then later on trading Wiggs to the Bay Area...and also for Kuminga.
really always feel bad for NY Knicks fans because of this, what's even worse was Mike D'Antoni was in favor of building an offense that focused on Curry's shooting which was way ahead of its time. IMO if the Knicks draft Curry Curry becomes a superstar much sooner then he did on the Warriors just because the Warriors during those first few years had to make a choice to either focus the team on Curry or Monte Ellis.
Curry was balling in class an professed from 97 summer when the mic was cut off from Notorious B.I.G. East vs. West. Tupac...lol he's so so def....

...And the T-Wolves.🤣 I get why they drafted Rubio at #5 at the time, but they could have snagged Curry for the next pick. Just imagine a trio of Rubio, Curry, and K-Love. That could have been an offensive powerhouse team with great playmaking.

Most teams are looking for 6-10 to 7Footer +++ dominant players. They overlooked that shooting 3's are better than driving in the paint for 2 points but consumed more energy.
would of been totally different because its the GSW trainers/coach/organization that helped Curry become what he has been.The Knicks might not have done that and stuck by him during all those injuries in the beginning and given up on him which the gsw didnt do they stuck by him and kept training etc and it paid off.

@Confessions Of A Movie Freak He was a Bust. He never learned to shoot. A Vastly overrated passer as well. You see how dramatically the suns changed when they got rid of him and brought a real point guard in Chris Paul?

But the Flynn one? Yikes
NyK could have drafted Giannis and Halliburton and a few other important players to put together normal teams winning teams. I cannot blame it on one Stephen Curry,. If a franchise is cursed the best player gets injured anyway.
Noway...I could've been a Knicks fan!?;)
Funny thing is curry said in a interview on all the smoke that he thought he was going to the knicks
This guy roasting the NYK like they skipped Curry on the draft night. As you mentioned, they also want him. It's so happened that he's been drafted by GSW
Let’s be honest - Knicks never drafted well the last 10+ years, except for KP whom is a pretty good player but thinks he’s the unicorn. If Curry landed with the Knicks, he would’ve been traded away for Amir and or Melo or others. With the new ownership who focuses on players development, the Warriors has been making brilliant trades and drafted well. Curry has made his name not only by himself but also with Klay, Green, Jackson before Kerr arrived whom had even made the team better. Really hope Mark Jackson gets to coach again.
LMAO i remember this night i remember this draft LIVE.....the brix were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gonna take curry lol...they had hopes and dreams of him lighting up the garden nights, filling the sky with 3s, only to have their hopes dashed at the last minute by golden state lol
I knew curry was gonna be good, he had games at Davison in which he was scoring 50 points, and averaging like 30 ppg at Davison
We got 4 chips now. Would love an update to this video
At the time no one knew Steph would be this good. Talk was he was injury prone
Look at the knicks being the knicks
The Knick still could've drafted DeRozan but drafted Hill instead.
