Newsstand: Notre Dame’s Kyle Hamilton calls out NBA’s Steph Curry
The Inside the Garage podcast crew that consists of four Notre Dame players from the 2021 season — headlined by All-American safety Kyle Hamilton — recently made it out to Los Angeles to meet with Colin Cowherd, the founder of The Volume Sports Network, the podcast company that hosts ITG.
In a snippet that was posted to The Volume twitter account, Hamilton made a bold comment about how he could beat Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry, a three-time NBA champion and eight-time All-Star in a game of one-on-one.
“In a game to 11 just me and him, I don’t see him getting around me,” Hamilton said. “I’m going to put my hand in his face, and I have about 25 pounds on him. I think I can get by him and am more athletic than him.”
Whether Hamilton was joking or not is up to interpretation, but regardless it was a fun segment between Cowherd, Hamilton and his former teammates.
