The journey from being underrated to NBA stardom
The documentary “Underrated” traces Curry’s journey from being a “scrawny kid”. People often overlooked him to become one of the most celebrated players in the NBA. Curry’s college experience at Davidson College played a pivotal role in shaping his determination and mental strength. In his first game in college, things did not go as planned for young Steph. He faced many difficulties on the court, looking like “a baby giraffe out there.” However, it was Coach McKillop’s confidence in him allowing Curry to recover from these hurdles.
In an interview, Curry shares, “I was a late bloomer, the smallest kid on my team. And through it all, like I just loved what I got to do. I loved the opportunity to prove myself right, more than like carry that chip on your shoulder that I got to prove everybody wrong.” And the rest is history.
