Synopsis

Stephen Curry is considered to be the greatest shooter in National Basketball Association (NBA) history. He's set the record for the most three-pointers made in a regular season. He's also been named league MVP for multiple seasons. Stephen Curry is an impressive athlete, but his life off the court is just as fascinating. Learn about his rise to stardom, his intense training drills, how he works hard to be a mentor to kids, and much more.

About this title

Review:

"Contemporary athletes representing the sports of soccer, skiing, football, swimming, basketball, and gymnastics are featured in this attractive series. In addition to career highlights, the texts also include information on the athletes' personal lives such as their hobbies and charitable interests. Upbeat and positive, if not overly inspiring, these volumes are more comprehensive than the usual fare for this age group. However, the texts, in some places, are already outdated; for example, Simone Biles references a planned 2016 tour for the U.S. Gymnastics team. VERDICT Solid additions to sports biography collections."--School Library Journal
