By Larry Fine NEW YORK - It has been a long climb for Stephen Curry from a frustrating rookie season with the Golden State Warriors to top-vote getter for the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. The sweet-shooting guard from Davidson College suffered through a 26-56 season with the Warriors after being the seventh pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, but comes to Madison Square Garden as the floor leader of the NBA's top team at 42-9. "I had very high expectations, a dream," the 6-foot-3 (1.90m) Curry said after Saturday's practice with the East All-Stars.
