San Jose Mercury reporter Shayna Rubin today published an article about Warriors player Blandin Podzemski.
In Podzemski's view, no one better understands how to break the limits of underestimation with irrational self-confidence than he and Curry do, the question reads.
On the golf course, Curry told Podemsky to remember the moment of suspicion. Remember when the 19th pick in the draft was called a loser in the Summer League for poor shooting. In Las Vegas, Curry was the first to text Podzemski to tell him "You're not alone" — even as a rookie in the summer league, and even the three-point champion Curry didn't make a single shot. Curry told Podzemski to cherish his transition from the Santa Cruz Warriors to the Golden State Warriors, but also to remember his frustration when he was benched at the University of Illinois. It was this experience that drove Podzemski to transfer to Santa Clara, where last season, he shared the West Coast Conference Player of the Year honor with others and soared through the NBA Draft.
"When I came into college, I was a tall, skinny white man at 6'4, shooting and playmaking," Podzemski said, "and I didn't fit the big 10's taller guard model."
"We both failed the vision test," he said of Curry, "but you don't have to pass the vision test to perform on the court." My race speaks for itself. ”
