Epic Athletes: Stephen Curry

When you think of Stephen Curry, one word comes to mind: greatness. From shooting three-pointers with laser precision to his clutch ability to hit buzzer-beaters, he has established himself as one of the best players in the NBA. But greatness was never a guarantee for Steph. The son of a talented NBA player, he dreamed of one day playing professionally. Yet Steph, who was always smaller and weaker than the competition, was told he would never be talented enough to be a college star or NBA player, let alone an MVP. Through tenacity and hard work, he proved them all wrong and went on to dismantle the record books.
