When Curry signed with the sporting mogul, Under Armour, he was still an underrated guard on the Warriors roster.

However, he has never forgotten to give back to the basketball community.

Curry has had an 8-year-long tradition with Under Armour of running a basketball camp for young athletes. After revealing how the NBA legends influenced his tradition, he also talked about how Under Armour and himself have been running it over the years.

“I think UA saw that from the jump, and this is our eighth year and that’s not by accident with everything that we have invested into this brand, this experience and continuing to try and get better and elevate this experience for these kids.” he said, talking about his basketball camps.

He further added “Four years ago we were able to understand what it means to service the women’s game….now you see how it is represented in this eighth edition with the talented young women that we have out here. So we have created an expectation on what it means to be at the Curry Camp, and hopefully we are around for the long run.”
