The next time an idea of yours (a campaign, a line, a strategy, etc.) gets killed, think about Stephen Curry. 

Everyone knew the former Davidson Wildcats star had potential when he was drafted by the Golden State Warriors this past year.  But star guard Monta Ellis was getting most of the opportunities to shine thus far this season, and Curry hadn't broken through...yet

As this article in the SF Gate says, When Ellis got hurt, Curry exploded.

In fact, just a few games after filling in for Ellis, Curry did something only a handful of players (including Michael Jordan, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson) had ever done: record at least 35 pts, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a single game.  And now people are starting to wonder if Curry is indeed the next NBA superstar.  (that may be premature, but whatever).

I'm sure most Warriors fans weren't happy to see Ellis go down.  But Curry so far has proved that opportunity lives on.
