Dell Curry alludes to Virginia Tech in Nike's Pitch to Steph

Interesting article on Nike's pitch, or lack thereof, to Steph Curry back in 2013. Then Virginia Tech Men's Basketball Superstar Alum, Dell Curry himself, chimes in and makes you want to hide under the covers and scream into your pillow:

In the meeting, according to Dell, there was never a strong indication that Steph would become a signature athlete with Nike. "They have certain tiers of athletes," Dell says. "They have Kobe, LeBron and Durant, who were their three main guys. If he signed back with them, we're on that second tier."

Dell makes an analogy back to the past, when Dell's alma mater, Virginia Tech, offered his son the mere opportunity try out as a walk-on. This was familiar territory for a player who'd long prevailed over projections. "Wasn't highly recruited, wasn't highly respected, wasn't highly thought of," Dell says. "It was kind of like that, you know?"
