Stephen Curry: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Sharpest Shooters (Basketball Biography Books)

Product Information

But coming off of two disappointing seasons, the final moments of Thursday's Game 6 just felt different.

I chose three questions to answer for this paragraph: 'Name people who inspired this person' 'If you could meet this person, what question would you ask them?' 'What questions did you have about this person before reading about them?'. First, the reader would say that Stephen Curry's father had influenced him to become what he is since he was an NBA player once himself who took his children to games and warm-ups. Second, if I could meet Stephen Curry I would as him what is his attitude when he plays against his brother, Seth. Third, before reading this book, I had thought about who had influenced Stephen Curry to become "Stephen Curry, one of the most notorious and best NBA player of all time". As one can see, Dell Curry had a great impact on his children lives.Dell was playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers when Curry was born in Akron four years after LeBron James

In addition to his team success, Curry has also been recognized for his individual achievements. At the time of this writing, he has achieved many accolades including being named a nine-time NBA All-Star, an eight-time NBA All-Team selection, a two-time NBA MVP, and most recently, the winner of the 2022 NBA Finals MVP award, among other notable awards. I felt] a lot of gratitude and excitement for him,” Green said of their long embrace near the bench. “I always say, ‘If you can’t pass Steph Curry the ball for a 3-point shot, shame on you. If you can’t screen for Steph Curry and get him open, you probably shouldn’t be on the court as a screener. I just think it’s a great testament to someone who is gifted, but who has earned everything through work. Beyond the gifts that he was given, he had to work so hard. And he’s always been so gracious and aware of how many people helped him along the way. That’s one of my favorite things about him.” I never wanted to call myself the greatest shooter until I got this record,” Curry said. “So, I’m comfortable saying that now. No better scenario to have Ray in the building, have Reggie on the call, to have my family here.”

But the Warriors soon received news about mechanical issues affecting their chartered plane. That forced the team to hang around Gainbridge Fieldhouse for approximately an hour, according to Kerr, as they awaited word on whether the Warriors would even be able to fly out of Indianapolis. The Cleveland fans groaned before again ratcheting up the noise and commotion. Maybe, they thought, they could rattle him and make him miss the second shot. It was when Steph was at Davidson that Dell first realized his son's potential: 'He was a good shooter. But when he started shooting against the best in the world, that's when I knew, ''Oh, okay.'''

With the pressure mounting and the noise of all those Cavaliers fans raining down on him, Steph walked to the free-throw line. For years he had dreamed of and practiced for this moment. His entire life he’d been told over and over the same thing by coaches, scouts, and the media—that he would never be good enough to be a great college star or NBA player, let alone the MVP of the entire league. Curry nailed a pair of first-quarter triples to move past Ray Allen and seize the top spot on the NBA’s list for all-time made 3-pointers and finished the game with five 3s and a team-high 22 points. The Warriors guard broke the record over the course of 789 games — 511 fewer than it took Allen (1,300) to reach the milestone. Instead, LeBron raised his level of play and Cleveland took two of the first three games. To make matters worse, Steph, the best player in the league that season, was in a slump. His usually reliable shot was off. At the end of the Game 2 loss, he shot just two of fifteen from three-point range. He even tossed up an air ball, missing the rim altogether. “Shots I normally make … I knew as soon as they left my hand that they were off,” Steph explained. “That doesn’t usually happen.” Since then, Curry has won four NBA titles and two regular season MVP awards over his Hall of Fame career Even before the Golden State Warriors legend won his fourth NBA title and first Finals MVP award on Thursday in Boston, Dell Curry's eldest son was known to be the best basketball player in the family: Better than brother Seth, a Brooklyn Nets guard, better than brother-in-law and Warriors teammate Daimon Lee, and even better than dad, the former sharpshooting guard who helped popularize the 3-point shot in the 1990s.

He also knew that if there was one place on a basketball court where his height and weight didn’t matter, it was the free-throw line. No one is allowed to guard you there. No one can stop you from hitting every shot you take. The free-throw line doesn’t care who you are. It’s just you, the ball, and the rim, fifteen feet away, ten feet in the air. In a sport with so much movement, it is the one time everything is the same, from grade school basketball to here in the NBA Finals. It’s the one time the game stands still—but the pressure is still impossible to ignore. He had scored a team-high 34 points and was on the verge of his first Finals MVP award after the 103-90 Game 6 victory; but even with every camera at Boston's TD Garden fixated on the future Hall of Famer, Curry found a way to escape the madness for a brief moment. Surrounded by a sea of green-clad Celtics fans, the elder Curry was easy to spot along the baseline with his cigar in hand in preparation for his son's fourth NBA title.

Their physical appearance and sometimes even their disease history become part of who we are. Most of the time, we also copy their attitudes and mannerisms. In the case of Wardell Stephen “Steph” Curry, one cannot help but wonder if he also inherited the shooting touch of his father, Dell Curry. An NBA pundit said that great shooters are not made, they are born. Kerr even admitted that perhaps Curry’s story transcends sports, pointing out the point guard “changed the way the game is played,” not to mention “the way that young players think about the game.”Stephen Curry tearfully embraced his father, Dell, after winning his fourth NBA title on Thursday in Boston Curry grew up emulating his father on the basketball court, but was largely un-recruited out of high school Curry also embraced former record-holder Allen while childhood idol Reggie Miller — on the call for TNT — filmed the historic event with a smartphone only a few feet away.
