On December 15, Beijing time, the Warriors will visit Madison Square Garden and challenge the Knicks in New York. In this game, Curry is likely to break the NBA three-point record set by Ray Allen. Between Curry and the Knicks, there seems to be a kind of fate in the dark.
Go back in time to the 2009 NBA Draft. At the time, Curry wasn't an NBA draft superstar, and his predicted pick was in the top 10 of the first round. The Knicks had the No. 8 pick in the first round, and they were confident that they wanted to take curry. Curry himself is also interested in joining the Knicks.
But in the draft, the Warriors, who held the No. 7 pick, "cut off" Curry in advance. This surprised both Knicks and Curry. In an interview afterwards, Curry recalled: "When I was chosen, it was a bit funny in retrospect — I wanted to go to New York, I thought I was going to New York. ”
Curry's idea is actually quite simple. At that time, the Warriors, there was no shortage of people on the guard line. They have All-Star guard Monta Ellis. Curry always thought he would go to the Knicks, but eventually he was taken to the Golden State Warriors.
Curry's story with the Warriors is already very familiar to everyone. Let's talk about the Knicks' No. 8 pick. After being cut off by the Warriors, the Knicks management was a bit confused. They chose Jordan Hill using the No. 8 pick. After Jordan Hill, DeRozan was selected by the Raptors in the No. 9 pick.
From this point of view, the Knicks just don't have a star life. Curry in their picture was cut off, which was something that there was no way to do. But there are big gods like DeRozan in the back, and the Knicks also did not choose the right one.
