Steph Curry reveals how growing up in Toronto helped shape his game “It was different. I love the city. So diverse. There’s so much culture there. The Raptors, that was in the middle of insanity, so every game was unreal. It’s just too cold” “I lived up there for three years while my dad was finishing up his career” “I got to play against the best of the best in Ontario” “It was also kind of a nice shot for me to get away from North Carolina, where I was playing AAU and stuff, to just get a little bit of a different competition, a little different vibe, a different style of basketball, and build my confidence from there” “And then when I got back and started playing high school back in North Carolina, I think I was better off for it” “Me and my brother would go up to the Air Canada Center, go up to the practice facility, and we shoot for the first half, and then we go watch the second half” “We were junkies. We wanted to just get shots up and play one-on-one and work on our game, but we also wanted to go out and watch the best of the best do what they did”

One reminder about Kawhi + Toronto: Outgoing Raptors owner Larry Tanenbaum is chairman of NBA's Board of Governors. Per @michaelgrange (9/12/25): "It will be Tanenbaum who will presumably have a voice in what - if any - sanctions are levelled against Ballmer and the Clippers."
