A lot of strange things, in hindsight, had to happen for Stephen Curry to end
up being drafted by the Golden State Warriors back in 2009. Five teams passed
on him. One team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, infamously passed on him twice, s
electing Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn with back-to-back picks at No. 5 and No.
6.
当我们事后再回头看2009年勇士队选择Curry的经过，会发现藏着许多怪事。
总共五队Pass他，其中以明尼苏达灰狼队的“二度Pass”更为知名，灰狼队在第五、第六顺
位选择了Ricky Rubio和Jonny Flynn。
The hope in the Curry camp was that he would fall to the New York Knicks at No
. 8. As the draft went on, the only team in the way of that happening was the Wa
rriors, whose head coach at the time, Don Nelson, loved the Davidson sharpshoote
r and wanted to take him at No. 7. As the Warriors' pick approached, Nelson reac
hed out to Steph's father, Dell Curry, whose opinion was valued as a 16-year NBA
vet, to ask his thoughts about Golden State drafting his son. Dell wasn't havin
g it.
原本Curry阵营希望落在第八顺位的尼克队。随着时间过去，能够当下尼克队选择Curry的只
剩下勇士队，当时的总教练Don Nelson超爱这位来自Davidson的射手，并且想要将他于第七
顺位拿下。
当勇士队的选择越来越近时，Nelson找到了Dell，以他十六年在NBA打滚的经验，询问他的
意见。但Dell不想要。
"Don't," Dell recalled telling Nelson. "You asked me the question, I'll tell you
the truth. Don't [draft him]."
“别。”Dell回忆起他告诉Nelson，“你问我这个问题，我告诉你实话。别（选他）。”
There have been stories about Curry, and his family, not wanting to go to the Wa
rriors that have gotten out over the years. Stories about how Curry didn't work
out for the Warriors and made it clear in closed-door discussions that he had no
desire to play there. Steph liked the fast pace the Knicks played with at the t
ime, and Dell has mentioned on a number of occasions that the Warriors' losing c
ulture and bad locker room leadership was a big deterrent in their mind.
其实早有Curry不希望被勇士选到的传闻，还有Curry不适合勇士以及Curry早以跟勇士表明
他不想去勇士。Curry喜欢当年尼克队的快球风。Dell也提到了勇士队的输球文化跟不佳的
休息室领导者是不去勇士的原因。
Nevertheless, Nelson took Curry.
总之，Nelson选了Curry。
And what a great decision that was.
而那是一个多棒的决策。
Curry and the Warriors have gone on to revolutionize the game together, winning
three of the past four NBA championships while Steph has racked up two MVP award
s, including the only unanimous vote in 2016. Some things are just meant to be.
Curry跟勇士已革命性的席卷联盟，四年内拿了三个冠军，Curry还拿了两个MVP，包括2016
年拿下前所未见的全票MVP。
其实有些事情是必然会发生的。
心得：可以想像当时Dell的脸色大概很难看。
