Great view of Curry, but wish it had been more complete

Great coverage of Steph Curry's early years and time at Davidson, where in his sophomore year the team won three straight upsets to make the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament before losing to #1 Kansas by just two points. I loved seeing the old footage of the baby-faced assassin, and getting his and others' comments about these years.Unfortunately, the documentary is ridiculously scant from there, skipping his junior year at Davidson altogether, and flipping through his years as a pro in just minutes. Seriously, I think the footage of his Subway commercial or him sitting in front of his computer working on his thesis to complete his degree later in life got more time. It was remarkably abrupt and aside from the disappointment I felt over that, missed the titular aspect of Curry's career: even in the NBA he has always been underrated, and still is to a degree underrated, even after all his success.So much is left out here. We see Reggie Miller make an appearance at the beginning to read an NBA scouting report on Curry, then disappear. We don't see interviews with his teammates on the Warriors or coach Steve Kerr. We don't see how Curry's shot selection was viewed as shocking, but would come to quite literally change the NBA. We don't see anyone comment on his extraordinary off-ball movement, gravity on the court, and deep sense of selflessness, always making his teammates better, or how it compares to other superstars. Aside from rushed highlights mainly of the fourth championship run, we get very little of the big playoff moments, much less Curry's other exploits (402 threes in a season, unanimous MVP, etc). It was quite a letdown. I look forward to someone making a proper documentary about Curry and the Warriors dynasty years when his playing days are over.

A must see

A doc on Steph could easily be 3 hours but I loved the masterful way they weaved in his earlier years and the sheer dominance he's had in the NBA. While he's constantly being disrespected and under appreciated by the fan bases of those he's consistently beaten this was a beautiful glimpse of how an undersized kid became one of the greatest to ever play the game. A triumphant story of resilience, the joys of victory and the sheer agony of defeat. Even if you aren't a fan of basketball you will leave being inspired. Steph is one of one. His impact on the game will be felt for generations to come. Truly special.

Fantastic underdog story that highlights how exceptional it is that Steph Curry has achieved so much..

Stephen Curry's Underrated is a fantastic underdog story that highlights how exceptional it is that Steph Curry has achieved so much in the NBA. This is an origin story of the greatest player under 6'6 in NBA history. A man with a heart of gold who manages not to throw any shots or low blows at anyone at all. Something very rare in todays media. A very classy display.This documentary mainly focuses on his time in High School and College. You also get an exclusive view of his life off the court. There isn't a lot of focus on his time on the court in the NBA but I am sure we will see more of that once he retires. The fact he had to overcome so many obstacles at his height and weight should be inspirational to all aspiring basketball players who are of a smaller stature. Look at Curry man so inspirational.One of the things I really appreciated was seeing his 1st year in college and the relationships he developed with his teammates and classmates at Davidson. Davidson and his 1st year of college were relatively unknown because YouTube wasn't as big and their games were rarely shown on TV. You had to be there in person to see these games. Curry still impresses as a role model after watching this documentary. I give underrated a 10/10.
