The greatest shooter in the history of the NBA. That’s what fans believe who Stephen Curry is. And there’s hardly anyone who would deny that. If not the very best, Curry is one of the best players in the league right now. His entry into the Golden State Warriors gave new hope to Warrior fans. Being considered the underdogs in the league for a long time, the Warriors selected Curry with the 7th overall pick after the Minnesota Timberwolves skipped him.

Curry’s early seasons didn’t bring a significant change to the team. In fact, their days of glory started in the year 2015. Under the newly recruited head coach, Steve Kerr, the Warriors went on to win their first ever championship in four decades. Curry was named the league MVP. From then on, the Warriors went on to smash records with Curry leading the way in most of the games.

Sonya revealed that she first got the idea after people started recognizing her children for their success. She said that people would come up to her and complement her children.

Subsequently, Steph asked his mother if and how she dealt with uncertainties before giving away the final piece for publishing. Sonya agreed that she had faced such issues while working on the book. She jokingly added that the deadline had compelled her to finally stop making changes to the book. She also added that she’s glad she stopped as she did not want the message of her book to lose its meaning through overcorrection.
