It was posted on-line today (Wednesday), so it should be in the hard-copy version of the WSJ on Thursday. I bet you can find one at one of those NYC newsstands.

To give you a taste, I think it is OK if I "excerpt" the first twp paragraphs ...

(EXCERPT) Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were curious. The former Oklahoma City Thunder teammates had a rare off night at home, and there was a college game nearby between Davidson and Oklahoma. Durant and Westbrook knew they needed to be there. They had to see Stephen Curry.

It was November 2008, only a few months after Davidson’s electric and improbable NCAA tournament run, and anyone who cared about basketball was mesmerized by Curry. Among the many people under Curry’s magical spell was a 10-year-old boy named Trae Young. He lived near Oklahoma’s campus, and there was no way he was going to miss the Davidson game. He arrived early to watch Curry shoot in warmups. He was as captivated by Curry scoring a career-high 44 points as the NBA stars in the front row. He can still recite every detail.

The article should be about 4-5 pages before the back page of the front page section (section A). Take a quick glance to make sure the article is there before you buy the paper.

Anybody close to the program... Does it appear Trae is keeping a level head? He sure is getting a ton of accolades. I mean a ton. He seems like a kid with a great foundation..
