Warriors  of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Listed at 6 ft 3 in  (1.91 m) tall and weighing 190 lb (86 kg), Curry plays the point  guard position. A two-time NBA All-Star, he is the son of former NBA  player Dell Curry.

Curry played college basketball for Davidson. There, he was twice named Southern Conference  Player of the Year and set the all-time scoring record for both  Davidson and the Southern Conference. During his sophomore year, Curry  also set the single-season NCAA record for three-pointers made. Curry was selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft  by the Golden State Warriors. During the 2012–13 season, he set the  NBA record for three-pointers made in a regular season with 272. The  next season, Curry and teammate Klay Thompson set the NBA record for  combined threes in a season with 484 as the pair were given the  nickname the "Splash Brothers". In 2014–15, Curry eclipsed his own  record by knocking down his 273rd three-pointer on April 9, 2015, finishing the regular season with 286 three-pointers and was named MVP  after leading the Warriors to a franchise-record and NBA-best 67 wins on  the season.

Curry  was born in Akron, Ohio but grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina where  his father Dell played for the Charlotte Hornets. Curry's father often  took him and his younger brother Seth to his games, where they would  sometimes shoot around with his team during warm-ups. As a child, he attended a Montessori school that had been started by his mother,  Sonya.

From 2001 to 2002, Curry lived in Toronto during his father's tenure  with the Toronto Raptors, attending middle school as an eighth grade  student at Queensway Christian College in Etobicoke, Ontario. There, he  was a member of the grade 7 and 8 boys basketball team, leading them to  an undefeated season.

Sorry I have not updated this story in long time

Curry went to high school at Charlotte Christian  where he was named all-state, all-conference, and led his team to three  conference titles and three state playoff appearances. The then 6 ft  0 in (1.83 m), 160-pound senior did not receive any scholarship offers  from major-conference schools. Since his father played for Virginia Tech  and is in their Hall of Fame, Curry wanted to play for the Hokies, but  they only offered him a place as a walk-on player. After receiving  scholarship offers from Davidson, VCU, and Winthrop, he chose  Davidson, a school that had not won an NCAA Tournament game since 1969.
