Now, he is starting his mentorship role with one of the top college athletes.

Curry changed the game of basketball with his shooting excellence. Not only did he dominate the game, but he was solely responsible for a change in mindset. He proved that no matter what the size or background, anyone can dominate the game with the right tools.
