This excerpt is from Stephen Curry: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Sharpest Shooters. It is about Stephen Curry’s time in college and his early career. Stephen Curry: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Sharpest Shooters by Clayton Geoffreys The first game was played against Gonzaga. The team was losing by as many as eleven points at the start of the second half, but Curry put on a heroic performance managing to score thirty points in the second half. This gave the Wildcats their first win in an NCAA tournament since 1969. Something similar happened in the second round as well. Curry was limited to five points in the first half against heavy favorites Georgetown and his team was trailing by seventeen points at one point. Curry managed to score twenty-five points in the second half helping his team advance to the next round. Georgetown was the second-seeded team in the nation that year. The whole nation noticed Curry’s talent as the Wildcats lost to the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks after winning another battle versus third-seeded Wisconsin. Curry managed to break several records in the process including most three-pointers in a season and joined an elite group of players to score more than 30 points in their first four games of an NCAA tournament. Stephen Curry made sure that Davidson’s name would not be forgotten in the near future with his performances over his three years there. Now Curry has transferred his work ethic attitude towards the game and personal values into his NBA career. The future looks bright for Steph Curry at the age of twenty-five as he has already left a significant legacy at Davidson College and in the NBA as well. The holder of the record for total three-pointers made in a regular season in the NBA and in the NCAA has a very optimistic future ahead of him. Steph Curry is emerging as one of the greatest point guards of the modern era. It will be exciting to see years from now how he will go down in the record books.

I’m on cloud nine for sure. We’re in the middle of a playoff run, and that’s that most important thing. But today’s a celebration for sure, and I want to take the time to really appreciate what this means, and that’s why we’re here. So I’ll try to explain how I feel the best I can just bear with me…” “…Make sure you live in the moment and work (hard) every single day, and I hope I inspire people all around the world to just be themselves, be humble, and be grateful for all the blessings in your life. I’m truly honored to be your MVP this year. Thank you very much.” Quote from Stephen Curry’s 2014-2015 NBA MVP Acceptance Speech

Despite all the talk and comparison to Lebron James and his strong talent, Curry continued to work his hardest. "It's all about winning," Curry said. "Stats really don't matter. I mean, guys have great series and all that and people take notice and take their place in history with those stats and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, it's all about winning and what you can do to help your team get to that point." With this team attitude, Curry led the Golden State Warriors to win the 2015 NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-2, proving to his audience that if you set your mind to something nothing can stand in your way.
