Curry Brand Signs Japanese Steph Curry to Multi-Year Deal

Michael Jordan made basketball famous worldwide, but today, Stephen Curry is the player most young athletes want to be like.

In the last three years, Keisei Tominaga has wowed University of Nebraska fans with his long-range shots. Wearing Curry’s No. 30 jersey, he’s hit 178 threes and mimicked Curry’s moves both on and off the court.

During April’s Soft Touch College Men’s 3-Point Championship, Tominaga went viral for doing Curry’s famous no-look turnaround three-pointer .

Keisei Tominaga is the best of what college basketball has to offer.

The sport will miss him.
