Great coverage of Steph Curry's early years and time at Davidson, where in his sophomore year the team won three straight upsets to make the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament before losing to #1 Kansas by just two points. I loved seeing the old footage of the baby-faced assassin, and getting his and others' comments about these years. Unfortunately, the documentary is ridiculously scant from there, skipping his junior year at Davidson altogether, and flipping through his years as a pro in just minutes. Seriously, I think the footage of his Subway commercial or him sitting in front of his computer working on his thesis to complete his degree later in life got more time. It was remarkably abrupt and aside from the disappointment I felt over that, missed the titular aspect of Curry's career: even in the NBA he has always been underrated, and still is to a degree underrated, even after all his success. So much is left out here. We see Reggie Miller make an appearance at the beginning to read an NBA scouting report on Curry, then disappear. We don't see interviews with his teammates on the Warriors or coach Steve Kerr. We don't see how Curry's shot selection was viewed as shocking, but would come to quite literally change the NBA. We don't see anyone comment on his extraordinary off-ball movement, gravity on the court, and deep sense of selflessness, always making his teammates better, or how it compares to other superstars. Aside from rushed highlights mainly of the fourth championship run, we get very little of the big playoff moments, much less Curry's other exploits (402 threes in a season, unanimous MVP, etc). It was quite a letdown. I look forward to someone making a proper documentary about Curry and the Warriors dynasty years when his playing days are over.

I must say, this documentary is a job very well done. It gives us great insight into who Stephen is. We get to see his games as a boy, teen and man. We see his support network, parents, coaches, school friends and teammates. We begin to understand why he's so humble, and we see how loved and respected he is at Davidson. I often found myself grinning and punching the air. It's feel-good on steroids. As for the edit, that too is great work. There are no drawn-out monologues. They keep the dialogue short and snappy, which gives the whole thing breathing space. Even if you're not a sports fan you'll enjoy this.

This documentary showcases Stephen Curry's incredible journey to becoming the greatest shooter of all time! From his college days battling during March Madness , which gave me goosebumps, to his trials in the NBA, it's captivating. The focus on determination, proving the naysayers wrong and pushing through setbacks, especially with Curry completing his bachelor's, was inspiring. Bring back NCAA college hoops games! The only downside for me was the sense that something was lacking, and the ending seemed rushed. Not much focus on Curry holistically (including family) but I guess you can't have it all. Overall, a solid watch, earning 3.5/5 stars!

Stephen Curry: Underrated. The coming-of-age story of Stephen Curry, from an undersized basketball player at a small college, to becoming a larger-than-life NBA superstar. First of all, I don't follow much the NBA but who doesn't know this guy that I found the most pleasing player to watch playing basketball and the accuracy he has in his hands is just unbelievable. The guy with the most three pointers of all time, the skinny short guy who believed in himself and in what he can brings, his story is inspirational and it shows that people standards aren't always the right ones and you can break some laws if you're brave enough . Getting through Curry's professional life and personal life was great, I know him better now, what a player and what a person ! Mixing between his past and 2022 was a very smart trick thought.

'Stephen Curry: Underrated' (2023) is fine. Its a slightly above average sports documentary, but its is gonna be underrated like Steph has been throughout his career. Stephen Curry is one of my favorite active players today, but as sweet and sincere this documentary is I don't think it lives up to the tremendous legacy Steph is still building upon. This film focuses on the aspect that so many people underestimate Steph him proving himself time and time again. It becomes more than basketball in this film, as Steph finally finishes his degree from Davidson and shows how his family (blood-related and ball-related) shape who he is today. This film might be a little premature as Steph's influence in basketball continues to change the way the game is played. But it is still good, and will make you cry tears of joy along with the inspiration to shoot your shot even it feels like no believes in you.

As a huge Steph Curry fan, I was really excited for this to come out. For the most part, it did not disappoint. The style and aesthetic of this documentary was really pleasing, a nice mix of early 2000's footage and modern day polished, crisp filmography. It was fun to have it flip back and forth, especially the editing between the Davidson games and the 2022 NBA Playoffs/Finals games. I liked how much or this story and the content centered around Curry's time at Davidson. While I enjoy watching both, I am a bigger college basketball fan than NBA. Seeing the clips made me antsy for March Madness in July. It was great to hear from other teammates, Coach McKillop, and to see clips from Steph's time in college. It also integrated a nice takeaway message regarding education and perseverance which was admirable. Some proud, emotional moments that once again relate back to his collegiate career. I wanted to see a little bit more pertaining to his training, his workout routine, his practicing. He has made such a physical transformation that I'd hoped to unpack that, as well as what it takes to rehab those repetitive injuries he's suffered. It's mentioned, touched on, flashed through, but I thought it was some meat to the story of Steph that was missing, keeping this doc from being extremely good.
