240: Steph Curry on Cypress Point, College Basketball in the NIL Era, and the biggest shot he's ever made

We step into The Smylie Show vault to bring you an episode prior to our YouTube era - a 2023 conversation with future Basketball Hall of Famer Steph Curry!

Steph joined Smylie Kaufman in June '23 to discuss one of his favorite yearly tournaments at Cypress Point, golf on the celebrity circuit, and whether he would have entertained a transfer away from Davidson in the new collegiate era of NIL. Steph and Smylie also discuss injuries and battling through those struggles, and compare the concentration required inside a noisy NBA arena to the focus required on a quiet golf course.
