Stephen Curry, the guy who nobody saw and ended up changing the NBA: I still have that underestimated mentality
Stephen Curry can now look back with some satisfaction knowing that he disproved the skeptics and made his NBA career one of the all-time greats.
He changed the way the game is played by significantly increasing the reliance on three-point shots from beyond the arc while being greatly underrated when he was drafted into the NBA.
Curry is the first long-range shooter to ever dominate the sport; he has ingrained it into the game, and with kids practicing long-range shooting far more now than they did before Curry burst onto the NBA scene. Curry explains in an upcoming Apple TV+ documentary about his career that he would never be able to shake the sentiments of rejection he experienced when people dismissed him as a young person.
It has provided me with a wonderful opportunity to reflect, express my gratitude, and appreciate my path. Stephen Curry says in an interview with SensaCine, “Seeing the finished product of who I am right now and going back to being a skinny, short kid who didn’t pass the eye exam.”
“Believe in yourself, believe in the procedure, and don’t worry too much about the outcomes because they’ll be taken care of on their own, even if you have to deal with success and failure along the road.
It’s a typical experience in life. In my opinion, this is relevant to people in basketball, athletics, and even in general life.
Curry was thought to be too thin. You have to keep in mind the time period the NBA was in before he displayed his tremendous shooting ability. Power was the central theme.
