Before Stephen Curry set foot on campus, you had to be a basketball junky to find Davidson College on the map. The small private university outside Charlotte, NC, was essentially an invisible mid-major program in the Southern Conference. The “Baby-Faced Assassin” changed all that. As a Freshman, he led the conference in scoring (21.5 ppg), but it was his sophomore season that really turned heads. Davidson finished a perfect 20-0 in conference and stunned Gonzaga in the first round of the NCAA tourney as Steph erupted for 30 in the second half alone to overcome an 11-point deficit. In the next round against #2 seed Georgetown, the Wildcats were down 17 when Curry led another ferocious comeback with 25 second half points. Then, the sharpshooter had 33 in a Sweet 16 victory over Wisconsin to earn a spot in the Elite Eight where they finally lost to eventual champion Kansas.
This offered basketball holds 19 signatures from that 2007-08 Cinderella squad that finished 29-7 and one win short of a Final Four berth. The two-toned white and brown panel ball has Curry’s bold autograph (9.5/10) centered below the red Davidson Wildcats logo. This is one of the earliest signatures you will find of Steph in the hobby. Longtime Davidson head coach Bob McKillop, who stepped down in 2022 after 23 years, is also included. Steph averaged 25.6 points as a super sophomore to earn 2nd Team All-America honors. He would lead the NCAA in scoring as a junior (28.6 ppg) before following in his father’s footpath to the NBA. The ball shows minor toning from storage but remains in excellent shape overall. The signatures in black marker average 9/10. Comes with full LOA from PSA/DNA.
