Curry, who starred at Davidson before he was the seventh pick in the 2009 NBA draft, invited Trimble to work as a counselor at his SC 30 Select basketball camp for the nation’s best high school guards last summer. He said he was impressed by the Maryland guard’s work ethic and leadership. Trimble said he was a little starstruck and “was shaking” upon meeting Curry, but was blessed to have the opportunity to attend the camp.

“Whenever this game is at its highest and my teammates need me to step up, I step up,” Trimble said. “I produce and I don’t shy away from competition. I knew I was going to take the last shot and I knew it was going to be a three. I tried to get closer, but I just took the shot that was available and it was almost from half court. I did leave my hand up [on the follow-through], so it could look like, well, ‘at least he did everything he was supposed to do with his form.’ I thought I missed, and I was [thinking], Coach Turgeon’s going to say, ‘why didn’t I go to the basket?’ But, it went in. I never hit a game-winner, so this was my first time. I always wondered what it feels like, always dreamed about it, always imagined it, so for that to me my first game-winner, it felt pretty good, and hopefully I have some more down the stretch.”
