Mariners Game #20 Preview and Discussion: SEA at SDP
Mariners face Padres tonight in Game #20 after tough loss.
Stephen Curry recalled a childhood memory where Kevin Durant mistakenly thought he was just a 'little white kid' during an AAU game when they were both young. This anecdote highlights their long-standing relationship and shared history in basketball.
For Curry and Durant, the start of a new postseason isnāt just a new opportunity to play on the gameās biggest stage, itās a reminder of just how long theyāve been here ā and how rare it is to still be playing at all. āI bet you everybody has a different take on that,ā Curry told The Athletic when asked what itās been like to be in the rarefied air that he has occupied with Durant and LeBron James for so long. āMine is I played against KD in AAU when I was 9. I was in Charlotte and he was in the DMV (Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia metropolitan region). Thereās always that joke, he thought I was a little White kid because he didnāt know who I was, just a little shooter. Thatās his favorite joke. āAnd that was, what, ā97, ā98? So think about how long that is. I donāt know how to wax poetic any more than that.ā
