Stephen Curry: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Sharpest Shooters (Basketball Biography Books)

This book is pure testimony and a tribute to probably the best shooter in basketball history
I enjoyed this book because it has to be a factual documentation for the best shooter in basketball history. Author Clayton Geoffreys goes to great lengths to prove his intent and that was to establish Steph Curry as the best shooter ever. It seemed to me almost every detailed box score all the way from college to the NBA was included. Frankly, after spending a great deal of my life playing and coaching basketball I grew tired of reading the statistics, but that should not deter anyone from buying this well researched book. The stats were needed to verify the story the author wanted to tell. I was so pleased he mentioned the name of Paul Arizin who was my favorite NBA player back in the early years of the NBA. I met Arizin once and told him I was having trouble developing a jump shot. He said, "Keep working, it will come around." It did as I was at least able to earn a college scholarship and earn three varsity letters in college. At any rate,, If a reader and fan of basketball wants to learn about the best shooter ever then read this book as it leaves no doubt who the best was especially in the NBA. Congrats to Mr. Jeoffreys for compiling such a detailed report on a man who is now a basketball legend.Dr. Norman Jones author of Growing Up in Indiana: The Culture & Hoosier Hysteria Revisited.

Very interesting book!
I am not normally one for Sports Biographies, yet I have some incredibly dedicated and devoted NBA fans in my family – a fact that had me buying this book when I came across it. I am always up for learning new things, and discovering the backstory of a star seemed the first step in that direction.“Stephen Curry: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball’s Sharpest Shooters” is just that, an inspiring story – one that any fan will enjoy reading, and quite a few non-fans (like myself) as well.A short read this is none the less and appealing one. The son of a NBA shooter, Steph Curry had the NBA in his blood, and his rocket trajectory to fame since his entrance in 2009 shows it. This unauthorized biography covers Stehp’s early life, the high school years on through his College career at Davidson then finally to his draft and the way he has changed The Golden State Warriors.Fascinating and almost fated, this is a story of a mad MEANT to be in the NBA.

5 Stars for 3 Points
I received this product at a discount for my honest and unbiased review. I want to disclose that I DO NOT do these types of reviews for products that I don't typically need or use.As a Golden State Warriors fan this was a great read! Stephen Curry's story is one everyone should get to know. Although he didn't have a "tough" life growing up as the son of an NBA player, he had to overcome adversity when it came to game of basketball. This book paints a good picture of his life and journey in the NBA!I recommend this for any Warriors fan but also for any fan of the NBA as Stephen Curry isn't just a star, but an anomaly to the game that's evolving with him and the Warriors at the forefront!

Second or third best Curry reference
Three stars. A far better reference on Curry is in the new book: “NBA’s 50 Greatest Players of All-Time 75th Anniversary Edition.” It is by far the greater and “more extensive factual and statistical”reference on the greatest shooter to ever live. Check out every relevant statistic on Curry in this new book.
