Synopsis of the movie Stephen Curry: Underrated

Even though he is the son of former NBA player Dell Curry, Steph’s journey following his father’s footsteps is completely uneven.

Curry was only 1m83 tall and weighed 59kg in his second year of high school. Obviously, this is not a potential player in the eyes of universities, and as a result, Curry only received one invitation from Davidson.

“I’m just a skinny kid looking for a way to fulfill his dream,” Curry says in the movie’s trailer. “I’m overwhelmed by it all”

After joining Davidson, Curry quickly achieved success with his elite throwing ability. Stephen was the leader of the team during his 3 seasons here. The peak was in his second season when he led Davidson to the Elite 8 NCAA round.

Thanks to that remarkable development, Curry gradually became a top NCAA shooter. After leaving Davidson, Steph joined the Golden State Warriors with pick 7 in the 2009 NBA Draft, which was also the foundation for this defender’s great career.
