Forget all the other Stephen Curry books; this is the definitive unauthorized biography of the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA.

In one of the most detailed, absorbing basketball biographies you'll ever read, dive into Wardell Stephen Curry II's early basketball experience as the son of former Charlotte Hornets star Dell Curry, his three conference titles at Charlotte Christian high school in North Carolina, his disappointment at not getting into his father's alma mater of Virginia Tech, and his career at Davidson College. In the next chapters, you'll learn all about Curry's first year with the Golden State Warriors and being named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, through that All-Star Weekend in 2011 when he won the Skills Challenge, through his injuries and surgeries in the 2011-2012 season, the triumphant 2014-2015 MVP season, and beyond. Learn about the legacy he's currently creating and what the future might hold for this still-rising star. Stephen Curry is one of the most dynamic and fascinating basketball players on the court today.
