Steph Curry's dad couldn't bear to watch him score 63 points in an 8th grade game

In a profile written about Steph Curry by Sports Illustrated‘s Lee Jenkins, his father, Dell Curry, told a story about a time when his son was whooping up on another team so badly in the eighth grade that he couldn’t watch the game to the finish.

Steph had scored 63 points in that game, but Dell couldn’t bear to stay for the last 20:

“All these people were coming in to see what was going on, and there was so much commotion, it seemed like he was never going to stop. I had to get out of there. I felt bad for the other team. Icouldn’t watch what he was doing to those kids.”

It’s not surprising that Curry had the juice like this in the eighth grade considering all that we now know him to be capable of.

But the fact that he was beating a team so bad that he ran his own father out of the gym is hilarious just about any way you slice it.
