What it will take to bring Steph back home

[Cary Kollins]

I had the chance to speak to Dell Curry for a bit at the Hornets gala last Saturday. I broke the ice by showing him my Panther Blue Curry 1's, which he loved. He had a dark pair of Curry's and said, "I thought I was the only one that could get away with not wearing Jordan's.".

Eventually I asked straight up, "When is Steph gonna come home?". Dell said, "Well, they've got a real real good team out there. This team has some work to do to get to that level. Then we'll see."

 

So there you have it. Maybe an obvious answer, but if the Hornets can improve to the point where they are missing that one piece, Steph might come home.

Also told Dell I loved the Sportscenter commercial and he laughed and said, "That is a true story. True story.".

 

Other notes from the night:

-everyone I spoke to and I heard speak is really high on Jeremy Linn, as a player and a person off the court. It seems the front office has Linsanty already.

-PJ Hairston was much more social and involved this year, smiling and engaging folks. Seemed to be having a really good time. Last year he was pretty quiet.

-Kemba was really cool. He shook hands and took pictures for every person that asked.

-Talked to Patrick Ewing for a minute. He was kind of cold at first, but once I told him I watched him growing up but "I wasn't a Knicks fan", he perked up and was like "Where you from?". I told him I grew up a Hornets fan and he said, "Man, we used to kick your guy's butts. Alonzo, me and him battled."

Really cool story and pics!

I think this team, if nothing else, will be much more likeable and watchable this year, alot like the final Bobcats squad that snuck into the playoffs and made the Hornets a trendy pick last season.

Unfortunately, I don't know if they have enough to shoulder the loss of MKG as the defensive anchor, unless Batum becomes the player some believe was held back on talented Portland squads.

We'll know where we stand quickly as that early schedule is brutal.

Yeah it'd be a dream however Curry will likely never be a Hornet.  If he does it probably won't be at the same level of play as with GS.

what will take? when is that earthquake gonna hit Cali and rip it apart?

You people are crazy if you think Curry isn't coming home (eventually). 

- Family is here

- Father played for Hornets

- Huge Panther fan

- Already won a championship for GS

At this rate of waiting for the Hornets to field a competitive roster, maybe Steph's kids could be Hornets.

He'll become a Hornet when Michael Jordan hires Boba Fett to freeze him in carbonite and they have Cody Zeller wheel him around the court every night.

The whole team is more likely to get staph than it is to get Steph.

Great thread. It made me look up Steph's family and that makes me appreciate that commercial even more
