Description
Steph Curry was surrounded by basketball as a kid. He practiced with his brother and his dad, who was a professional player in the NBA. He heard about basketball at the dinner table and watched all his dad's games on TV. Basketball had been a part of his life since the moment he was born, but when he wanted to play in college, coaches didn't think he was ready. Teams took one look at him and thought he was too small to be any good on the court. All Curry needed was the chance to prove them wrong.
