NBA star, Stephen Curry has enjoyed a long and successful basketball career. Although he plays for the Golden State Warriors, he does have a small connection with NASCAR champion, Kurt Busch. As it turns out, the NBA star used to attend Davidson College and played for the college team. Busch revealed in a 2016 interview that he had a house in North Carolina, which was near the college.
Busch said, “He went to Davidson College, which is 10 minutes from the house that I have in North Carolina. When you have that vision of watching him play at Davidson, you see him now playing at a huge stage with the Golden State. Winning an NBA season title a couple of seasons ago. Its neat just to have that connection, plus my fiancee, she’s just full-on Steph Curry. They were incredible to watch in regular season and to gain all those wins and to be the team that won the most regular season games. They were in control in the NBA finals until game 5. It was tough to see that slip away, and what I saw happening was inside the paint.”

According to him, fatigue and the opponents’ defence led to the Warriors’ downfall. He revealed that LeBron James’ team were ‘tougher, meaner and more aggressive’. In essence, they were not afraid to get physical and make contact. Busch observed that the Warriors made the right moves in the transfer market to truly impress in the NBA.
