Steph Curry is hitting the big screen
Steph Curry's career reads like something out of a movie and in October, it will be one.
Curry announced that a documentary following him through his journey to become the NBA's all-time leader in made three-pointers is coming to IMAX screens later in the fall. The documentary was directed by acclaimed sports documentarian Gotham Chopra, who has made documentaries about athletes like David Ortiz, Simone Biles and Tom Brady in the past.
The film will also take a deeper look into Curry's famous skill as a three point shooter, a skill that stands out as one of the most remarkable tools that a NBA player has ever had that Curry used to lead the Golden State Warriors to four championships while winning two MVP awards himself and in the process, reshaping the game of basketball as the world knows it.

The three-point explosion that the NBA has experienced and how much of a necessity a good three point shooter is on a roster today is singularly linked to how much of an impact Curry made and by following his journey to become the singularly best three point shooter ever not just in reputation, but in record, there will be more of a spotlight on that skillset than ever before.
Curry's journey as a player is itself cinematic. The son of NBA role player Dell Curry and the older brother to Seth Curry, another NBA player and Steph's teammate this past season, there were clear expectations for Curry to have at least some NBA success.

Becoming A Superstar
After struggling with ankle injuries in his first few seasons, Curry began to rise. He became an All-Star for the first time in his fifth season and became a MVP for the first time the season after that and by that point, the Warriors were already on the doorstep of becoming the greatest sports dynasty of the 2010s and Curry was already in the conversation of being one of the greatest point guards of all time.
