This documentary showcases Stephen Curry's incredible journey to becoming the greatest shooter of all time! From his college days battling during March Madness , which gave me goosebumps, to his trials in the NBA, it's captivating.
The focus on determination, proving the naysayers wrong and pushing through setbacks, especially with Curry completing his bachelor's, was inspiring. Bring back NCAA college hoops games!
The only downside for me was the sense that something was lacking, and the ending seemed rushed. Not much focus on Curry holistically (including family) but I guess you can't have it all.
Overall, a solid watch, earning 3.5/5 stars!

Stephen Curry: Underrated.
The coming-of-age story of Stephen Curry, from an undersized basketball player at a small college, to becoming a larger-than-life NBA superstar.
First of all, I don't follow much the NBA but who doesn't know this guy that I found the most pleasing player to watch playing basketball and the accuracy he has in his hands is just unbelievable.
The guy with the most three pointers of all time, the skinny short guy who believed in himself and in what he can brings, his story is inspirational and it shows that people standards aren't always the right ones and you can break some laws if you're brave enough .
Getting through Curry's professional life and personal life was great, I know him better now, what a player and what a person !
Mixing between his past and 2022 was a very smart trick thought.

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.

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.
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!
