The rise of NBA star Stephen Curry is told in Stephen Curry: Underrated. In November 2021, Stephen Curry, point guard of the Golden State Warriors, beat the record previously held by Ray Allen for the most 3-pointers made in NBA history. However, Curry had to fight for his position, as he spent his entire career being told he was undersized to play professional basketball.

My Thoughts on Stephen Curry: Underrated
Stephen Curry: Underrated is a typical underdog sports story covering the nearly two-decade-long basketball journey of Stephen Curry. The film structures the present-day story as somewhat of a comeback for Curry and the Golden State Warriors, who fought back during a tough season to win Curry’s fourth NBA Championship three years after their previous winning streak was, quite ironically for me, broken by the Toronto Raptors beating the Warriors in 2019. Ultimately, Stephen Curry: Underrated is a documentary that should be enjoyed by both fans of Stephen Curry and basketball fans in general.
