The Story of How It All Started

Stephen Curry grew up in a basketball family; his father, Dell Curry, was a former NBA player known for his shooting ability. Raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, Stephen showed an early love for the game, often attending his dad’s practices and games. However, despite his skills and family background, Curry was considered undersized and unassuming as a high school player and was overlooked by most major college programs.

Instead of attending a powerhouse basketball school, Curry chose Davidson College, a small school with a lesser-known basketball program. At Davidson, he quickly made his mark, especially during the 2008 NCAA Tournament when he led the underdog Wildcats on a remarkable run to the Elite Eight. His outstanding performances caught the attention of NBA scouts, and his draft stock soared.

In 2009, Curry was selected 7th overall by the Golden State Warriors. Initially, he faced skepticism due to his size and style, but he quickly established himself with his exceptional shooting and ball-handling skills. By 2013-2014, Curry was already recognized as one of the best shooters in the NBA, but it was during the 2014-2015 season that he took his game and the Warriors to new heights, winning his first MVP award and leading his team to an NBA Championship.

Curry’s deep three-pointers, quick release, and playmaking ability transformed the game, inspiring teams across the NBA to adopt a more three-point-centric style. His influence has reshaped modern basketball, making him one of the most influential players of his generation.
