usmagazine.com:

Stephen “Steph” Curry is one of the greatest basketball players of all time — but his short stature and criticism over his slim figure made him an underdog as a kid.While Curry, 35, has won four NBA Championships with the Golden State Warriors since 2015, his new Apple TV+ documentary, Stephen Curry: Underrated, reveals that he wasn’t always thought of as a winner.In fact, in the first trailer for the film, which was released on Monday, June 26, it becomes clear that many people in Curry’s past didn’t believe he had a chance to make it all the way to the NBA.“He’s about 5 [foot] 6 [inches],” one sports analyst says in the trailer, while another commentator notes Curry “looks like a kid” despite being a college athlete.

As images of the point guard playing at Davidson College flash in the background — paired with moments from his high school days — another voice points out that Curry was “150 pounds soaking wet” when he first burst onto the basketball scene.The nine-time NBA All Star, meanwhile, reveals in the trailer that it wasn’t until he went to college that he “first really understood” that he was “different.” Curry reflects on his road to success in the clip, saying, “I was the undersized scrawny kid that was just trying to figure out how to make it.

I was overwhelmed by everything.”In order to make his dreams come true, he had to keep his head down and go to work. “That feeling of being underrated will always be part of the drive that keeps me going,” he teases in the doc.Stephen Curry: Underrated, which is directed by Peter Nicks, promises to document how Curry went from a small fry high school prospect to the seventh-round draft pick in the 2009 NBA Draft and one of the winningest players in the sports’ history.“
