NBA star Steph Curry reveals how old he was when he dunked for the first time

Steph Curry is one of the best NBA players of all time.

He is by far the best shooter in the history of basketball and has excellent skills as a point guard, such as ball control and game vision.

However, Curry was never known for his dunking skills.

In an interview during his time with Team USA, the four-time NBA champion revealed that he was only able to dunk at the age of 19 (via NBA).

Reporter: “How old were you when you first dunked?”

Curry: “19 years old. Freshman in college, that’s how long it took me. Davidson College. From praise, two feet, two hands. It was a loud day on campus that day.”

Curry had an excellent time with Davidson from 2007 to 2009.

During this period averaged 25.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 46.7% from the field and 41.2% from three-point range in 104 games.

Despite his impressive career with the Wildcats, Curry was the seventh pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.

Other guards like Ricky Rubio, Jonny Flynn, Tyreke Evans and James Harden were preferred over him.

Initially, the two-time MVP had a slow start due to Injuries that could have jeopardized his career.

The 15-year veteran has spent his entire career with Golden State.

At 36 years old, he is still an incredible player, averaging 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game in 74 games last season, while shooting 45.0% from the field and 40.8% from three-point range.
