CHARLOTTE, N.C. –In order to fully understand the bond between Stephen Curry and Charlotte that\u2019s been on display this week you had to be in Memphis the night of April 9, 2016, to see a connection forged through faith, family and basketball at the Charlotte Christian School.<\/p>\n

The Golden State Warriors had defeated the Memphis Grizzlies for their 71st victory of the season, putting them within one of the NBA record set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. They were about to fly to San Antonio to face the Spurs the next night. After 45 minutes of postgame interviews, Curry strolled toward the tunnel in FedEx Forum and pointed out a visiting friend in the crowd of remaining stragglers in the arena.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake your time,\u201d a Warriors team official told Curry. \u201cJust know the plane is waiting for you to leave.\u201d
\n
\nThe rest of the Warriors — and their pursuit of a place in the record book — were paused while Curry spoke to Taylor Wagener, his high school teammate who is now an
\nan assistant coach at Charlotte Christian. Their conversation stretched out to 15 or 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked at him and I was like, \u2018Dude are you … is the team waiting on you to fly to San Antonio?\u2019\u201d Wagener said. \u201cAnd he’s like, \u2018Yeah, but it’s all good, I just wanted to say hey.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Bro, go. You gotta go break the NBA record.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll he wanted to do was talk about me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Curry\u2019s selfless interest in his childhood friend over a departure for one of the most significant games in NBA history is a reflection of Stephen\u2019s foundational Christian values instilled by his parents. <\/p>\n

His father Dell Curry\u2019s three-point marksmanship for the original Hornets franchise had turned the family into the equivalent of royalty in Charlotte. Yet Dell and his wife Sonya would insist to their son Stephen, “Your name doesn’t make you better than any person. You are a believer who is here to give back to others and do the best of what your talents and abilities can do,” according to Wagener.<\/p>\n

The Curry family values were cemented through tutelage from Shonn Brown, principal and head basketball coach at Charlotte Christian, according to Dell Curry. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a preparatory school for life in general,\u201d Dell Curry said. \u201cCoach Brown and his staff do a tremendous job of teaching your kids, giving them love and keeping the Word in their life, while educating as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown has amassed over 400 wins in 19 years at the helm of Charlotte Christian. And his program\u2019s vision lines up with what Dell and Sonya\u2019s faith and educational expectations were when enrolling their three children, Stephen, his sister Sydel and brother Seth (who currently plays for the Portland Trail Blazers).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we do and what we think is important in terms of character, integrity, and honoring Christ is in everything that we do.\u201d Brown said. \u201cWinning graciously, losing graciously and recognizing that this is about cause over self. Those are big-time important pillars of our program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid the noisy chaos of All-Star Weekend\u2019s media day, the mention of Brown and the time Stephen Curry imitated him in a school skit brought a smile to Curry\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know just how much Charlotte Christian meant to me in terms of kind of sending me on my way and giving me a solid foundation,\u201d Curry said. \u201cI’m just proud to be able to represent them the way I know how. What Coach Brown has been able to do for me in my life has been monumental for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 1990, Charlotte Christian\u2019s varsity athletics has brought home 34 state championships, with 25 of those coming since 2000. The school houses about 1,000 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.<\/p>\n

Currently, six of its alumni are actively playing professional sports (Stephen and Seth Curry in the NBA and Akil Mitchel in a French basketball league, Luke Bard in baseball, Clint Irwin in MLS and Matthias Farley in the NFL).<\/p>\n

One thing the basketball program does not do is lure recruits with fancy facilities. If Charlotte Christian basketball was judged on its gymnasium alone, it would probably be on the lesser extravagant end of private schools across the country. <\/p>\n

The gym entrance is tucked in the corner of the school\u2019s cafeteria, and the inside seems to pay homage to a 1970s YMCA. If it wasn\u2019t for the \u2018Lamb\/Johnson Gymnasium\u2019 placard centered above the double doors, one would think they were exiting the building when actually they\u2019re entering an NBA incubator. <\/p>\n

Once inside, the smell of fresh wax hits the nose hard. <\/p>\n

State championship banners line the cinder block walls on the south end, and Stephen\u2019s high school jersey, No. 20, is retired next to his picture on the north end. (It\u2019s said the No. 30 that both Dell and Stephen wore in the NBA didn\u2019t fit the scrawny young Stephen). <\/p>\n

The gym\u2019s bleachers don\u2019t climb to rafters, and the team\u2019s locker room is just big enough to back an SUV into with barely enough left for the 15 lockers that line the walls. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re satisfied,\u201d Brown said. \u201cPeople always ask me, \u2018What does your program need?\u2019 All I need every day, all day, through all seasons, is just a half court with a free hoop. So we can do development.\u201d
\n

\nMaybe the other half of the court isn\u2019t necessary because what the Curry brothers seem to remember most about Brown\u2019s leadership is unrelated to basketball.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach taught me the game, and he taught me life lessons off the court,\u201d Seth Curry said. \u201cThat was his biggest thing. It was more about stuff off the court than on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite all the program\u2019s wins and achievements, Brown is most proud of the life-long relationships he builds with his players. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey all come back, which is really special to me, because that’s the test,\u201d Brown said. \u201cHow did you treat them as players, no matter how much or how little they played, and how did you grow them as men of faith?\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to see Charlotte Christian is permeating with pride over the Curry family. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat one name has now given this city something of the crown of the Queen City, in a sense,\u201d Wagener said. \u201cThey put us on the map.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Wagener and Brown, the Currys exemplify what families of faith should strive for. <\/p>\n

To Seth, Charlotte Christian is \u201cwho I am.\u201d <\/p>\n

To Stephen, the school \u201cis always a place that I want to be a part of my story.\u201d<\/p>\n
