Curry was a four-year starter at Virginia Tech and still holds the school's all-time mark for steals (295) and is Virginia Tech's second-highest all-time scorer (2,389 points). He went on to play for five different teams in a 16-year NBA playing career.

Curry has no coaching experience at the college or pro level. He was named as an assistant coach of the Charlotte Bobcats in the summer of 2007, but stepped down before the season began so that he could attend his son's college games at Davidson. Steph Curry currently plays for the Golden State Warriors.
