Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is the NBA’s best long-range shooter. Born to an NBA player, Curry and his siblings grew up playing alongside pro basketball players. Some worried that Curry’s size would hold him back as a player, but in college, Curry’s performance quickly slated him as one of basketball’s next superstars.

Curry joined the Warriors NBA team in 2009. Ever since, his skills and stats have broken records and earned him multiple awards. In 2022 he even broke the record for most career three-pointers of all time. But Curry is not all basketball. He is also interested in business and entertainment and loves spending time with his family. Catch an inside glimpse of Curry’s life, including his rise to the NBA, his off-court pursuits, and more.
