Long before Steph Curry became the GOAT shooter, he was an unknown at Davidson.

One Warriors player was a DoorDash driver and gardener just 3 years ago.
Now, heās Steph Curryās teammate and a rotation player for the 4-1 Warriors.
Meet Lindy Waters III, and his story is incredible.
In HS, he was Trae Youngās teammate.
After college, he played semi-pro ball for The Basketball League - where heād have to drive to a different state in the middle of the night just to play a game.
Lindy then became a DoorDash driver and a gardener on the side, just to make some money.
His semi-pro team won the championship, and he got a call to try out for OKCās G-League team.
And in 2022, he earned a 2-way contract with the Thunder.
Fast forward to June 2024, when the Warriors traded for him on draft day.
Golden State reportedly had him very high on a list of lesser-known players who could make an impact in the right situation.
He may have found the right situation.
Early in the 2024-25 season, the Warriors have a deep team - but Lindy Waters III is earning playing time.
Heās shooting a scorching 47% from deep.
Last year, he was even a finalist for the NBA Social Justice Champion award - for his work with Native American youth and Indigenous communities.
He was cutting grass to make money just 3 years ago. And now, itās impossible not to root for him.

Thereās optimism Golden Warriors guard Klay Thompson will make his return vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, sources tell ESPN. A final decision is expected once the Warriors return from a two-game trip on Friday.

As @StephenCurry30 closes in on the NBA three-pointer record, he continues to climb away from the competition in the race for MVP.
Per @Covers, his odds shortened to a season-best of +140 after the Golden State's win over Indiana last night - equating to a 41.7% implied chance.
