So Steph Charges $2000 To Attend His Camp?

[Dro]

http://theshaderoom.com/steph-curry-called-out-by-michael-bennet-for-high-camp-prices/

I apologize if this has already been posted...I'm not gonna just judge him, if he didn't charge anything then probably way too many kids would show up, but $2000? And you have to fly to Hawaii so you have to be able to afford that also.

Now, we didn't have much money growing up and even if my mom and grandmother had $2000, there's no way they'd spend it on me to go to a basketball camp.

Apparently he's referring the kids who cant afford it, to his brother's camp.

Thoughts?

[francesco totti]

A multi-millionaire wants more money, not having enough.

[Akrazotile]

Wouldnt worry bout it.

These kids' future agents will make sure it gets paid for through AAU coaches/caretakers.

Even the broke kids will be able to attend.

IF theyve shown enough potential :crazysam:

[Smoke117]

Kids need to go to a basketball camp to pull up and shoot 3pters 5 feet behind the line?

[J Shuttlesworth]

"Hey kids, let me show you how to play in the finals!"

Dude disappears and takes $2k from each kid :coleman:

Sure, he's great at that, but Steph is a great player all around...

[bigkingsfan]

Supply/demand

"hey billy ! what'd you get for your birthday."
"tickets to curry basketball camp."
"Cool! seth or steph ?"
*hands in pockets*
"Seth :rolleyes: "
*kicks a rock*
"hahahaha"









i'll see myself out.

[MP.Trey]

After the backlash he announced that if people want a more affordable camp, they can go to his brother Seth's. :roll:

[HylianNightmare]

Seth Curry's camp is probably packed

You shook as ****.

It's just capitalizing. Almost everyone in this country does it. Why should Curry be singled out? Almost every player in the NBA is wearing a sneaker that poor people shouldn't spend their money on and I don't even want too get into sweat shop child labor.

He probably has a number of charity initiatives if you're worried about him being a nice guy.

[SecondTake]

Steph makes tens of millions a year, $2,000 is nothing for him. He's charging not for himself but to cover the cost of the camp itself. Not much to ask for.

I'm not judging him but for 2Gs per head to be needed just to cover costs he would have to be holding camp in the Taj Mahal. The man is making money.

I don't have a problem with it, personally. You're an NBA player, your camp is naturally probably going to be more expensive than your local high school basketball teachers.

I just find it hilarious how he released that statement referring people that can't afford it to his brother's camp. If you really cared that much about getting kids with a lower income to a top tier basketball camp, then you would lower your damn prices yourself. Not refer others to a lower tier camp to save your ass from any media backlash you're going to get, whether warranted or not.

[NugzFan]

Did you guys consider what would happen if the camp was free?

[NugzFan]

Exactly. He probably doesn't get any of it.

If it costs so much to run, then why is his brother's camp so much cheaper?

If he is realistic he knows that he's not going to be a better shooting coach than some HS basketball coach that played college ball for a good program. Steph Curry can't just make a guy Steph Curry. If coaching worked that way we would never see a guy shoot like Rondo or Rubio in the NBA. In reality Curry will show his campers his pregame dribble and shooting routines and then leave them in the hands of his counselors for most of their training, maybe he wanders around the facility saying "hi," taking pictures, a few kids will get to play one-on-one to 7 or play him in h-o-r-s-e. That camp won't produce 30 (or whatever) Steph Curries, it might put a few kids out that eventually are good enough for a scholarship but if they can afford to go there then they probably don't need that scholarship. This is Steph Curry making money, it has nothing to do with making great basketball players.

And is that a bad thing? Would it be so much more noble of Curry opened up a camp in some poor inner city area trying to make future NBA stars? Very few kids make it that far, it's not a realistic dream, and whatever is required for some kid to make the NBA isn't going to be put in them by a week of being within a hundred feet of Curry for a few hours a day.

Why not refer them to his brother? His brother can make a little money, too.

1/10th the player. 1/10th the price.

[Haymaker]

I don't get it. With the kind of fame he has, he just needs a couple of sponsors to cover all expenses and that's it, kids get in free of charge.

I'd have a lot more respect for him if he referred people to his brother BEFORE any media controversy. Makes it look like he's using his brother to save his image, rather than using his platform to help his brother's image.

[Sarcastic]

1/10th the player. 1/10th the price.

The argument was Steph doesn't profit off the 2k.

[NugzFan]

Which kids? All of them?

I just don't feel the need to judge him for this. If a gallon of milk costs you $3 at Star Market and $4 at Whole Foods do we see people fussing at Whole Foods or do people just buy their milk wherever they buy their milk and not bother talking about it? I don't know the full story but I'd bet that he mentioned his brother's camp because he was getting criticized. Which is just human nature. This is a capitalist society and he's not hurting anyone by having an expensive camp. I don't feel like he should be taken to task for this, not when similar things are being done by lots of people everywhere.

He's making money. I mean, at $2Gs per head, how could he not be? I don't get what's so hard to understand.

[FreezingTsmoove]

I snuck into so many basketball camps back in the day

[Tmuston Beltics]

"Hey kids, let me show you how to play in the finals!"

Dude disappears and takes $2k from each kid :coleman:

lmfap:roll:

[smoovegittar]

Has anyone considered the cost of insuring this?

[Real Men Wear Green]

Has anyone considered the cost of insuring this?
The only reason for the insurance to be higher on his camp than any other camp would be because it's more expensive than a normal camp. Which wouldn't surprise me, insurance companies are some of the biggest money-grabbers out there.

[inclinerator]

steven curry is a thief

[bdreason]

At least he wouldn't get dunked on in his own camp


I wonder if Curry confiscates the tapes from his camp? :oldlol:

[bdreason]

And I bet Curry doesn't organize or set the price for his camp.


It's like those people who were bitching about the price of Kevin Durant's shoes. Nike pays him like $300 million in endorsement money... anyone who thinks Durant gets to set the price of his shoe is retarded.

[G-train]

Familiarize yourself with the basic economics of supply and demand.

[avonbarksdale]

hes worth so much why not?

since why is it his duty to teach kids

[Jasper]

Best kid ballers are not from these camps , but from playgrounds...

Why would a kid want to spend $2k on learning how to not play bball , but to shoot a 38 foot push shot :confusedshrug:

[Megabox!]

Nah he'll just throw his mouth piece at the nearest kid out of frustration

The only reason you pay $2000 for your kid to go to Steph Curry's basketball camp is so he can be scouted by High School's, College's, AAU teams, and Agents.

Come on guys, hes just being his brother's keeper.

Why are people so into this guy and his wife? Nothing special but the media really shoves it down our throat. Overrated and a one and done player.

That must be a joke. If you are good then you get invited to camps, worst case you go to an regional vamp that charges like 400-500 bucks.

[iamgine]

It's not Steph who charges $2000, it's other people who organize this event. Steph just lend his name, shows up, do his thing and get paid.

wife is pretty popular on youtube, and the reality is steph is still a superstar. Also Riley. There are a lot of factors that make them popular with the wider public, not just NBA fans.

Yes, Riley is definitely the superstar of the family.
