Steph Curry on his remarkable basketball career and new documentary Underrated
Ryan Coogler:
This film is about the power of family, community, and mentorship, and the power that comes with truly being seen.
And I think — I think, in that — from that viewpoint, it wasn't hard at all. The masses know Stephen Curry, but I don't think the masses know this story. I think knowledge of Steph will get people into the door, in terms of going to the theater or pressing play on a film, but the story is so universal. It's so relatable.
This film is about self-discovery, but, also, it's about the power of love. You know what I'm saying? And watching Steph kind of transform into what he's going to become just because somebody recognized what he was at the he was at the time, not looking at him and said, oh, this guy isn't this tall, so X, Y, or Z, or he can't do this. So, I just want to see.
No, this is what he can do right now. This is what he can do. And that thing he could do, shoot the basketball at a prolific level, it's changed basketball.
