Stephen Curry, the latest GQ blogger.

We in Davidson have long known that Stephen Curry is both a gentleman and a sports sensation.  Now, Gentleman’s Quarterly (better known as GQ) apparently knows it too, because the stylish magazine for men has added him to its ranks of sporty bloggers.

His posts are appearing regularly in “Balls Out” (hey, it’s GQ, what did you expect them to call it?), the magazine’s on-line sports blog column, right up there with Tim Lincenum’s thoughts on bars in San Fran and an impassioned defense of Chase Utley’s hair.

GQ describes the former Wildcat as “a whip-smart, speedy, sharp-shooting guard out of Davidson, who singlehandedly upended the 2008 NCAA Tournament.”  The editors promise a season-long chronicle of Curry’s NBA debut with the Golden State Warriors.

Steph’s blog is titled “My Rookie Season.”  Here’s some highlights from entries so far:

On the new blog:

My name is Stephen Curry and I am a rookie for the Golden State Warriors. After a great college experience at Davidson, I got drafted by the Warriors and moved out to Oakland—which is a long way from my hometown of Charlotte, NC. Playing in the NBA is a dream come true and now I get to test my skills every night against the best basketball players in the world. I’ll be keeping this diary with GQ for the entire season, so follow along with me on this amazing journey.

On preparing to step onto court for opening night:

Then my teammates tried to play a joke on me. As soon as we said “1-2-3 Warriors!” we got in single-file to take the court, and I was the first person in line. When we got to the end of the tunnel, I turned around, and they were further down the hall than I thought they’d be. Because I’m the only rookie, they had planned to let me run out on the court by myself and then kind of look around all dumb—and then they’d come out eventually. But since I saw them, they couldn’t really pull it off.
