The Pitching Person Mispronounced His Name
The presentation had been given poorly, unfortunately. It came off as if Steph Curry was nothing more than an afterthought in the plans they had since there were already three huge stars. However, Steph and his father could not forget what happened next. According to Dell, the first sign of disrespect was “accidentally” mispronouncing Steph’s first name. They did not call him Steph-En but called him Steph-On. What made things even worse was that no one in there corrected him when it happened. This was pretty bad, but something else made Curry turn down the offer.

The meeting went on, but it was crystal clear that Nike did not value him as much as it did other ballers. Nike gave younger and unproven ballers like Kyrie Irving and Anthony youth development camps instead of him. This must have been hurtful for him. It would have meant a lot to him if he got the chance to help young players develop since he saw himself in the kids who went to them. When he was younger, he also went to those camps. It was his chance to pay it forward, but they did not let him do that.
