According to the article, Nothing But Nets made a smart decision by choosing to work with Steph Curry.
Which paragraph BEST supports this idea?
A few years ago, when Stephen Curry was merely a good player with bad ankles, a charity called Nothing But Nets struck a deal with the promising Warriors point guard.
The donations are just part of the Curry equation. Nothing But Nets also managed to pounce early on a youngster who would grow up to be the ideal ambassador, a superstar with both a killer crossover dribble and universal crossover appeal.
A recent ESPN.com story documented how Nike blew the chance to sign Curry to an early endorsement deal and whiffed on the impending global superstar. This story is the opposite of that.
It helped that Curry knew the issues. Bryant Barr, a college teammate at Davidson, was among the early supporters of Nothing But Nets after Reilly introduced the program to Sports Illustrated readers in a memorable 2006 column.
