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.

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.
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.
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.
