Stephen Curry: Underrated

Super interesting take on Steph and a great story to share with kids. Steph and the team did an amazing job of boiling down everything he's done into a tight narrative. I'd frame it as more of the children's book than the novel of the things he's done. It shows Steph as a person who plays basketball as opposed to a generational talent, and really seems to target core values he cares about and highlight the process and people that have made his career so incredible.

Some cool editing, new angles of the Davidson tourney run, and has a clear vision of what it's trying to do. For basketball fans you're not getting the Survive & Advance version of the tourney run or The Last Dance version of Steph as a competitor, but you do get glimpses in addition to Steph as a kid, a son, a student, a husband, a dad, and a teammate. It's also interesting because it's kind of a modern day throw back to the Come Fly With Me type of NBA superstar docs with a little more focus on showcasing the man rather than the athlete.

As someone who doesn't follow the NBA that regularly, this was a great introduction to one of the legends of our times. Absolutely loved learning more about Stephen Curry's journey. Nicely done!

They probably could have made a season out of it, but the short and sweet nature of it has its own charm. What legends - both player and coach! One to see the potential and the other to live up to it. Take a bow, both of you!

Always a treat to watch such well made sports documentaries, the hero's journey and the struggles they overcome is nothing new, yet incredibly beautiful in every athlete's odyssey!

In a profession where size matters, professional basketball, Stephen Curry, continually overlooked and discounted because of his appearance, has completed confounded expectations. This moving and inspirational documentary is truly a David and Goliath story for anyone who has been counted out because they don't "look the part." It shows how someone who has been written off time and time again, rewrote not only the NBA record books, but his professional life story through belief, persistence, and hard work. Even for those of us familiar with his story, the film provides touching moments that remind us of how special (one of his favorite words) his journey truly is.

A doc on Steph could easily be 3 hours but I loved the masterful way they weaved in his earlier years and the sheer dominance he's had in the NBA. While he's constantly being disrespected and under appreciated by the fan bases of those he's consistently beaten this was a beautiful glimpse of how an undersized kid became one of the greatest to ever play the game. A triumphant story of resilience, the joys of victory and the sheer agony of defeat. Even if you aren't a fan of basketball you will leave being inspired. Steph is one of one. His impact on the game will be felt for generations to come. Truly special.

I love Steph curry as much as the next fan, and his story really is amazing, but this just felt like a lot was missing. I can't explain exactly what it was but it just wasn't up to par with similar sports bios. Maybe they needed to do like a three part series and have it be more extensive, 30 for 30 style (for example the great bill walton doc).

It also just felt weird stylistically. Like a lot of shooting of random daily tasks that were entirely uninteresting. They brought in Reggie Miller st the literal very beginning like he was going to be have a big role, and then you didn't see him once the rest of the time. Also a lot of interviews from mostly people from the Davidson days, which, fine but then just make it a doc about his Davidson days and not try to tie in the quest for his fourth ring which was an equally interesting story that deserves its own episode.

Like they really should have done an episode on his past, his upbringing, interviews from all his family, high school days with the high school coach and then transition to the Davidson saga with all those characters and that drama, and then a third episode about his pro days. You could've stuck to the underrated theme the whole time and it would've felt so much more complete and worthy.
