    Local SF School Teacher Never Wants Curry To Speak To His Kids

    "I have to ask you to do me a solid and make sure you don’t ever come visit my high school," Amaral writes in a blog post directed to Curry.



    "When you get involved in soup kitchens, wrap Christmas presents for needy kids, and build homes for the homeless I am inspired. But where those kinds of civic-minded activities have clear benefits, I have to tell you something you probably haven’t heard: Coming to poor high schools like mine isn’t going to help any of these kids out, in fact, it might make things worse."

    There is no indication that the NBA is actually trying to send Curry or his teammates to the school. Regardless, Amaral hopes the league never will. He goes on to explain his reasoning.





    "If you come to my school you will be your usual inspiring, humble, hilarious, kind self and you will say all the right things. ... I mean, you are such an awesome guy, you are a family man with a wife and daughter, with another on the way. ... You are humble, a leader, and clearly our young men need to meet a man like you. Maybe I’m wrong to write this letter.


    But the reason I don’t want you to come has to do with what you won’t say...Because the worst thing you won’t tell them Steph, is that they can’t do it. You won’t tell them that will you? You won’t be able to bring yourself to tell them it is already too late. ... You see, the kids I am talking about do not play year-round, they are not in a travelling league, and they have never even heard of a McDonald’s All-American; they just eat McDonald’s two meals a day and have Hot Cheetos in between."

    weird


    sounds like this guy is a pulling out of one of the Kardashians tricks to get attention

    Curry should build this school a pro style basketball arena and weight room
    and volunteer to coach them in the summer.

    it is not weird at all....what he basically saying is that these NBA guys go to the schools and sometimes they talk to the teams of that schools and they say the same stuff like " get at it and you will make the league " knowing if you not discovered by at least 12 yrs old it is a wrap.

    yeah its hard to make it I know.

    Seth Curry has the same genetics and got coached by Coach K at Duke and he can't even make it.

    NBA is tough b/c there so few roster spots.

    The school should have an SBR Pro come talk to their kids. Still a great life and much more attainable.

    Is Brock still traveling to schools in the Southern Illinois area?
    I think he was doing a lot of good for those kids.

    I like that Brock doesn't need a judge to tell him what a good for his community!

    This may be the best way to stop kids from gaining any interest in gambling.

    Chico that is simply not true.

    He played Varsity in junior and senior year and played Junior varsity as a sophomore.

    so does steph curry make it a point to hit all the local schools and tell everyone that they'll make it in the nba?

    this teacher sounds like a complete idiot, and a crazed egomaniac. i'd pull my child from his classes.

    This was sooo much more important than talking about Jays/Nats. Stubby fukkhead. Bet your dealer is so pissed how often you dont buy cuz u lose your ass. Bet everytime your number pops up on his phone he sighs in half misery "Ahhh this fukk again." JJ has good lingo on the phone tho and talks in code so he always gets hooked.

    Has anyone on here actually read the full post other than myself?

    Most of it is about celebrity worship and how both he and Klay Thompson were rich kids who were born into NBA families and had every advantage in life.

    No, I only read the baldynotes version.

    If the guy wants to go into politics then that's one thing, but he needs to be focused on the kids in the classroom, not attention whoring on his blog.
