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.
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.

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, 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.

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.
