Stephen Curry: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Sharpest Shooters (Basketball Biography Books) Paperback – April 10, 2014

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.

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.

It is a well written book with a lot of insight on his greatness. I recommend it.

Book purchased for my child who wanted to learn more about the person and player.

Gift, good size font and value for money, quick postage

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

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.

Three stars. A far better reference on Curry is in the new book: “NBA’s 50 Greatest Players of All-Time 75th Anniversary Edition.” It is by far the greater and “more extensive factual and statistical”reference on the greatest shooter to ever live. Check out every relevant statistic on Curry in this new book.
