Did Curry’s father ever think that Curry could only make a living in overseas leagues?

The thin Curry made his father think that he could only make a living in overseas leagues, but Curry's talent and hard work made Curry reborn - I can do all things.

Fans always know their favorite stars very well, and Curry’s fans are naturally familiar with the phrase “I?can?do?all?things” on their idol’s sneakers. Behind this motto from the Bible is Curry's heartwarming story from being abandoned like worn shoes to becoming the darling of the league.

It is reported that the reason why Curry engraved "I?can?do?all?things" on his sneakers has something to do with his mother Sonya. That year, before Curry was preparing to attend his first practice at Davidson College, he received a motivational text message from his mother, which included this motto from the Bible.

Later, Curry developed a habit: before every game, he would write this motto on his sneakers. Perhaps this motto really worked its magic. Now Curry is full of glory, including 2 MVPs and 3 championships.

Noticing this habit of Curry, the attentive designer Dave Dombrow would later deliberately leave blank spaces on the sides of Curry’s shoes when he launched Curry’s new shoes so that Curry could write, Under? Armor simply printed the handwritten "I?can?do?all?things" on Curry's commercially available sneakers, which has also become a label recognized by Curry fans when buying sneakers.

In fact, Curry always gives people an illusion. After all, he comes from a famous family and does not have a miserable childhood like most NBA players. He has also become famous after entering the NBA. Apart from injuries, it seems that his success At your fingertips.

But the actual situation is shocking. Because he was too thin, Curry was forced to shoot from the waist when he was a child. After his father urged him, it took him a whole summer to correct it. During this period, Curry was so tired that he refused to train and said that he had forgotten the feeling of shooting.

In 2006, Curry, who performed well in high school, confidently applied to Duke, but was ruthlessly rejected by Coach K. The reason given by Coach K was "You are too weak." ”

This hit Curry in a sore spot. After all, he was 1.83 meters tall at the time, weighed less than 75 kilograms, and had a baby face. Later, Curry and his son extended an olive branch to major basketball schools in the United States, but were rejected one by one for the same reason. North Carolina coach Roy Williams couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you so thin?"

In desperation, Dell had no choice but to shamelessly find his alma mater, Virginia Tech. Unexpectedly, his alma mater turned to him. Dell, a member of the school's Hall of Fame, said coldly: "I'm sorry, your son is not expected to play in the NCAA at all."

Even Dell was shaken after repeatedly running into obstacles. He once recalled: "Someone said to me, 'Your son can make a lot of money playing basketball in the future!', and my first reaction was, 'Well, maybe in an overseas league.'" He later mentioned in an interview Tears are still swirling in Curry's eyes during this past incident: "I regard this as motivation to move forward, work hard to play my own style, and wait for someone to appreciate me."

When there is no way out, in the NCAA first-level league, the scale The smaller Davidson College offered a scholarship, and Curry finally "committed" to the art school, a 20-minute drive from his home. Bob McKillop, the coach of the Davis school team at the time, said: "Other schools did not recruit him because of his thin appearance, but I saw intelligence in him."

As a result, Curry became a comprehensive player After breaking out, he led the school team to the top 8 of the NCAA single-handedly, scoring 162 three-pointers in a single season, and became the nation's scoring leader with an average of 28.6 points per game, paving the way to the NBA for himself.

I?can?do?all?things, isn’t it the perfect portrayal of Curry today?
