Stephen Curry: Underrated

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.

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.

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!

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.

Stephen Curry, one of the most accomplished, exciting athletes of our era, deserves better than this uninspired hagiography that just rehashes major events in his life. If you didn't already know, you would not learn from this film that he's one of our most articulate sports figures, one of our wisest, one of our most generous and charitable to causes including ones he's a prime mover for, and one of the most effective advocates of family and community values.

It's all done attractively, and the video clips from the earlier stages of Curry's life add something new, but the film pales next to the real Stephen Curry.
