If GS wins it all again Draymond Green has just cashed his check into the NBA Hall of Fame when his career is over. Curry and Thompson already in as Warriors. How many Red Bulls do you think Green drank before/during the game? He seemed to be everywhere. I remember taking some sort of caffeine-based "pep" pill one night in college to help me finish some problem sets. I can't remember what it was called. But it worked. The only problem was that the next morning, I was so amped, I was practically running at full speed to class. LOL! That was the one and only time I used some sort of artificial "stimulant" to stay awake. Never again.

Warriors sweep Portland 4-0 as they win in OT 119-117. Green and Curry both have triple-doubles, the first teammates to accomplish that in the playoffs.

Steph Curry = 37 points. Seth Curry = 1 point.
Who do you think their parents were really rooting for? LOL!

I feel like Denver would've played Golden State tougher than Portland.

I feel like Denver would've played Golden State tougher than Portland. For sure ... Milsap and Jokic would have been a handful w/o Durant and Cousins.

Regardless, one heck of a time for the curry family Dell played his college ball at Virginia Tech. A few months after Steph began lighting it up at Davidson, VT alumni were asking their basketball coach why he wasn't recruited. His answer: "We didn't recruit Dell's son (Stephan) because he was too small."

I don't get how people hate him lol

The Steph Curry stories about how everyone shunned him for being too short are fine and dandy but it's not an everyday thing. The Virginia Tech coaches had a justified reason for not recruiting Curry, including much better prospects at other need positions, I'm guessing. Anyway, you can have small players who go to college and have outstanding careers, as well as small college players who do well in the pros. Of course, not everyone can have the magnitude of success as Steph Curry in terms of records, accolades, championships, $$$. No one could've predicted Curry's successes, just like nobody predicted Michael Jordan's rise. There were many stories of Jordan's coaches and peers who all say they never thought Jordan would be THAT good in the pros.
If a kid drops out of college, they'll almost always bring up a number of notable college dropouts who did well, e.g., Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, John Lennon, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Steve Jobs. The problem is, those were exceptional people. You can't compare yourself to Bill Gates or John Lennon. They were very smart to begin with, had some good ideas, had talent, work ethic (probably), and powerful motivations. Not everyone who drops out is going to be the next Bill Gates or John Lennon. LOL! More likely, they'll start off in retail or fail at some start-up, so end up in retail, then another job, get married, mired in debt, and maybe find a good job as a lawn mower technician at a lawn mower manufacturing plant, and then climb up the ladder to be supervisor for that same company. That's pretty much the most likely "good case" scenario.

That's pretty much the most likely "good case" scenario. Many of "the trades" are hurting for people -- electricians, plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, etc. A lot of those jobs hire folks for more money than many college grads get. The overall compensation packages are often different (e.g. for many of them you get paid if you work and you don't get paid vacation or sick time, so you have to factor that into your salary), but these "blue collar" jobs can often pay more overall than many "white collar" jobs. And you certainly save a lot on college expenses if you don't go to college. On the other hand, education is often about more than just job earning potential.
