He is like the new Dennis Rodman. Not a whole lot on offense. Gets boards, blocks and plays D. High energy guy. He is a good player.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Stephen Curry(notes) was given a standing ovation in pregame introductions, cheered the first time he touched the ball and applauded after his made baskets.

The former Davidson star said it was “kind of weird” when the crowed went wild when he first got the ball. He played all 48 minutes and finished with 25 points, but shot just 8 of 23 and the depleted Warriors faded in the fourth quarter in their fourth straight loss.

“It was different than any other game,” the rookie said. “It was nice seeing all my family, all my friends from Davidson. I had a lot of fun with it. We didn’t win, but we played well.”

Curry, the son of former Charlotte Hornets fan favorite Dell Curry, grew up attending NBA shootarounds and practices, starred in high school here, then did the unthinkable in leading tiny Davidson to within a missed 3-pointer of the 2008 Final Four.

Curry’s pregame availability was moved to the interview room to fit the crush of reporters, and he said he bought 105 tickets.

That didn’t include the elder Curry, who works as a television analyst for the Bobcats. But perhaps the biggest homer near the court was Charlotte coach Larry Brown, who said “if I ever retire, I’ll pay to see him play.”

With Curry’s college coach sitting courtside, nerves appeared to show early. He missed his first three shots, one an airball floater in the lane. But the fans cheered loudly when he made a mid-range jumper midway through the first quarter.

“It was good to hear the crowd and I felt pretty comfortable out there,” Curry said.

With Stephen Jackson just 5-for-16 from the field against his former team, the Bobcats needed offense from other sources. DJ Augustin had his best scoring night since Jan. 22 and Diaw added 14 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.

Corey Maggette scored 19 points in his second game back from injury for the Warriors, who fell to 4-27 on the road.

But Jackson was still pleased with how Curry has developed since he was traded from the Warriors in November.

“He’s grown into an NBA player. He’s not that unseasoned rookie,” Jackson said. “A lot of people didn’t expect him to play this well, but I knew in training camp he was going to be real good. That’s his team.”

Man i wanted this kid in the draft. I laugh at the Timberwolves they could have had Flynn and Curry instead they have Rubio.

[CarolinaNiner]

Rubio will be good. Better than Flynn. Curry would have fit well with Al Jefferson & Kevin Love.

That being said... Minny loves to drafts positions that they don't need......

Good game so far, but I gotta feel bad for Golden State, as it seems like there are waaaaay more Lakers fans there.

Completely understandable, but I have a soft spot for the underdog. Curry is truly fun to watch. I have no idea how he does what he does.

[Mesmer]

Now that was an entertaining game! Almost to OT.. how sweet it would have been, but oh well.

[necroplasm]

That was crazy. 3 bounces but goes out..damn lol
