First things first, I am a HUGE Golden State Warriors fan and have been since the 70's. I have seen many incredible players come and go for The Warriors as well as The NBA. Stephen Curry is arguably the greatest basketball I have ever seen. Every season I ask myself and my Warriors friends how did we get so lucky to have him on our team representing the Bay Area? Much like Joe Montana, Willie Mays, Buster Posey, Steph has captured the attention of The Bay Area sports fans.
I absolutely loved this movie, don't get me wrong. His exploits on the basketball court from high school, through college, and with the Warriors left my bottom jaw open. I only know Steph since he was signed by The Warriors. I've never seen replays of him prior to The Warriors but his path to The NBA were what we see on a nightly basis and my bottom jaw drops open. When we see something extraordinary from Steph on the basketball and then we see another extraordinary feat, we think we've seen it all.
I was disappointed in the Underrated title and how it applied to this movie. He got passed over in his quest to go to the college that his dad did. He was good, but... He worked hard at his craft to be the player that he is. Remember he was the first and only unanimous voted MVP. He works hard, at everything. He just won the Tahoe Edgewood celebrity golf tournament, the first active athlete in a sport to win it, and he has many other obligations that take up his time, and he practiced enough to win...with a hole-in-one.
I don't know what I wanted or expected from this in relationship with its title, but I absolutely loved Underrated.
