Look at his body, you would think he is not fit for basketball at all! Really, what is a basketball player supposed to be? At least tall. Curry is of average height, but his body is thinner than 95% or more of the NBA. And yet, he would win the MVP! And this time, he beat the popular "fried chicken" Harden and the universe invincible lebron James!

Curry's path to basketball has been rocky from the start. Although his father is the former NBA star Dell Curry, but he was too thin and basketball school snubbed, tasted almost all the coaches, scouts rejected. Eventually Davidson College, a small liberal arts school with an enrollment of fewer than 1,700 students, accepted the young man, who was as thin and frail as a hemp stalk. Many critics stubbornly argued that Curry simply wasn't fit for the NCAA.

Curry did not disappoint! Davidson College thus welcomed the greatest basketball star in its history. In his first two seasons, Curry worked hard to quickly establish himself on the team, using his unmatched shooting talent to win conference rookie of the Year honors, conference tournament MVP, and the school record for 3-pointers made by a rookie in a season.

However, doubts remain, many people still believe that Curry is just a shooting star, the NBA pace he certainly can't adapt to, he can at best reach JJ Redick height.

But the truth? Curry's action is a big slap in the face to all those who have written him off!

Golden State selected Curry with the No. 7 pick in the 2009 draft. Curry's play was tepid early in the first season, and the Warriors' record sank. But in 2010, with Ellis struggling with an ankle injury, Curry's chances grew, and in February 2010 he stunned the NBA with a triple-double of 36 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists against the Clippers.

Now, five years later, the Warriors are in the spotlight for their unassailable team performance, and Curry is finally among the league's superstars and winning the MVP trophy.

What is Steph Curry's masterstroke? It's a 360-degree shot that no one can guard against. All you do is jump up high, hold out your arms, and pray. Curry also plays at a leisurely pace, takes no extra preparation for his shot, and is quick to release. Therefore, he is known as "pervert quasi". The Warriors are in the second round of the playoffs, and Curry could lead them to the Finals. Is he going to win Finals MVP? We'll see!

When it comes to Curry, in addition to our admiration for his basketball skills, his inspirational story is also worth learning from. If you think about it, have you ever been looked down upon when taking a test or doing anything else? Curry's story shows me that anything is possible if you work hard. If Steph can do it, why can't we?

Everything has a reason, and everything has a story. There was a time when only a handful of people in the world believed in him, and Curry was never the star of the show. "No one could have predicted what Steph could do on the basketball court. He keeps going, we all know that, but how far he can go is unknown, "Curry's father, Dell, said. Belief, passion, drive, will, Curry said these four key words, helped him fulfill all the crazy dreams in his life.

He himself said, "If you take the time to figure out what your dreams are, what you really want to do with your life, whatever it is, whether it's sports or whatever it is, you have to work at it, and you have to be the hardest worker and the hardest worker at whatever it is, And then you put yourself in a position to be successful, and you have to be passionate about what you do, and my passion is basketball, and it's taken me to where I am today."
