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

Started reading as soon as I received and could not put it down. Not only is Steph a great basketball player. He is a great roll model for all. Young and old. Approachable is how he comes across. Brought the love of basketball back to my home. Plus his teammates have been awesome

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.

I was happy about being able to buy the book and getting it in time for a birthday .

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.

My son and I are avid basketball fans and really looked forward to reading all about Steph Curry. Unfortunately we quickly became bored as this book is so heavily burdened with scores and stats. In fact, the chapters on Steph's career at Davidson read like stats sheets but failed to provide anything more. It seemed as if the author really didn't know much about this part of his career at all. In fact, I knew a lot more and had to embellish what was written in the book to make it more interesting when reading it with my son. The sections on his NBA career were a bit better, but, overall, it did not seem as if the author really conveyed much more than the scores of the games and Steph's stats. I am not sure why the author thought it important to provide EVERY stat for EVERY game.The sections on his personal life were by far the most interesting part of the book (although there wasn't much detail here either). It is a shame that the author didn't take the time to properly do his research or understand what it takes to write a biography. There is so much more to the incredible story of Steph Curry that is never highlighted in this book.Lastly, the editing of the book was terrible! I have never seen so many errors in a book before.Overall it seems that the author and publishing company are just trying to crank out books on NBA stars without regard to making it interesting for the reader. I don't think we will be reading more books from this author.

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!

This is the sort of book works for two types of audiences. For the casual sports fan, the author hits all the highlights of Steph Curry’s career, while at the same time he doles out plenty of stats that avid basketball fanatics crave. From the introduction, it is clear that the author did his homework. I was familiar with Curry since his college career, but now that I’ve read this book, I can honestly say that I’ve become a fan, not only of his skills on the court, but his actions off the court as well. One of the things I really liked about this biography is the author’s approach. He gave me the facts, which allowed me to form my own opinions about Steph Curry. Next time I’m in the mood for a sports book, I’ll be looking to see what Clayton Geoffreys has to offer.

Gave it to my son as a gift in order to improve his English and he has already read it a few times.

Not what I expected. A cheaply (self?) published attempt of a book with huge font and no photographs.Not suitable for more son who I bought it for: a reluctant reader obsessed with basketball.It looks and feels like a student’s homework piece.

8 yr old grandson is currently reading this after having read a simple reader on Stephen Curry, The Boy Who Never Gave Up. This other book gives a lot of detail into the growing up, family life, schooling, career and more on this basketball player. It is more on the lines of a novel reader taking longer to read to the end but the detail gives him a better idea of who Stephen Curry is and how he got to where he is in his career. He is enjoying what he has read thus far is a big Stephen Curry fan. Can't give it a 5 star as yet as book not completely read but so far gives good detail of this player

Great book even tho I’m not a Steph fan I love it, talks in great detail, but it’s not repetitive. Definitely read this book.
