Steph Curry was waiting for the bus one day when a little kid came up and asked him for some food. Steph gave him an autographed photo, took a selfie with him, and told him "you can do whatever you set your mind to do". That kid grew up to be LeBron James

Curry was considered to be too small at 6'2 and not athletic enough for the shooting guard position, yet Allen Iverson was 6'0 and went 1st overall in the lottery, as a shooting guard.

I just want to see all of the scouts, reporters ect ect that talked shite on him and laugh in their face 😂😂

Steph story is so inspiring

After 2022 Steph really became one of the true GOAT's. Redemption, that's for sure. I'll remember all the jokes about his ankle problem, "dumb shooter'' statements. Good for him, he win against all doubts and ods.

this is a great video on curry before his first nba coach keith smarts. we need a deep dive on that. i recently saw the jeremy lin quote i forgot where but that needs too be looked at.

Stephen Curry, who grew up to become a star player representing the modern NBA even though he came from Davidson College, a university where basketball isn't very strong, is truly amazing. Blake Griffin was the center of attention in the 2009 NBA Draft, but Curry has now become a much stronger NBA player than Griffin.

Steph feels so much more free and happy when the second unit, lead by CP 3, not only manages to hold on to a lead or not lose ground, but even gain ground! Then he comes back, unbothered, and can feel free to shoot whatever shot he wants, because THERE ARE NO BAD SHOTS for this alien. ❤👏 Well done, Mr. Dunleavy!

True goat

Kai Jones the goat

Size is a huge part of bball. But, to me, it seems like Steph got more shit about his size than most 6-2'ish guys. That's just my perception. I could be missing something/s. Maybe he was seen as unusually weak and/or not athletic enough. It's amazing how being an elite shooter can make up for deficiencies.

WARRIORS NBA CHAMPS 2024!! 👍👏🥳🥳🔥🔥🤩🤩

When he can dunk with 2 hands and he is 6’2” he jumps higher than 99% of population

Wait this ain’t about Lonzo Ball

Mark Jackson gets so much hate and criticism but he was one of the people who believed in Curry and advocated for him to have the keys to the team. Jackson should be a head coach somewhere. It’s amazing what he did with the Warriors. Let’s not forget the trajectory they were on. I have no doubt that even without Kerr being there, they would have one the championship.

@@dhruvadude808 Jarret was a solid combo guard for years. Plenty of teams wanted and needed his talents. But you’re asking a great question. Why is such an obviously talented winning coach not hired? His players loved him. He was a well-respected coach. And recently a respected TV Analyst. Please don’t forget that his Warriors team was winning and getting better every year. Politics and accusations were his downfall. He was not a “Yes Man” to the owners. They wanted high profile assistant coaches and Jackson wanted his own people. There were unsubstantiated rumors about homophobic remarks. Also he is a vocal Christian preacher. You put all that together and you have his coaching career. It doesn’t take much to put you on the outs. There are coaches who have won coaching awards and then they are fired. It happens.

As for Jackson, do you actually believe he would've won a title that next year, won 73 games the year after, then two of the next three titles, adding yet another one a few years after that? It can never be proven of course, so we'll have to agree to disagree.

I hate the ads in the middle of the video. Also, can you bring your excited voice from 11 down to about an 8? That would be great for my ears and overall stress level.

Mike, the title of this video is inaccurate. There is nothing “dark” about Curry’s early beginnings as a hoopster. More like the struggles he had to hurdle and how he needed to persevere. Kind of reeks of click bait which you do not need considering your pull already on KZread.

If growing up with an NBA dad is “never easy” then i must be from a third world country that never had running water lol

Steph is Exhibit A of the effect of the right coach and the right situation Both college and pros). If he'd been traded to Milwaukee (and it was FAR closer than people remember), he'd have been playing overseas within two or three years. The ONLY reason he wasn't traded was because team doctors said he'd never be healthy because of his ankles.

@@vhengalunan2009 Scott Skiles would have been Steph's coach until 2013. He was a defense-first coach, Steph (at that time) was too small to guard effectively, and Skiles would have benched Steph if he took 30-footers. Brandon Jennings was a shoot-first PG (and bigger), so Steph would have been in the exact situation he was in with Monta Ellis. Steve Kerr (a long distance shooter) was the perfect coach for Steph. Also, Mark Jackson didn't have shit to do with Steph staying in Oakland. Besides the ankles issue, Monta was making 4x Steph's salary ($3M vs $11M) and Steph was simply cheaper to keep. Coach has nothing to do with salary cap math.

for me only Michael Jordan is better ...
