I became a Curry family fan when Steph Curry's brother Seth
played for the Duke Blue Devils. The cameras always caught
Steph's parents, Dell and Sonya, in the stands. The
commentators always had good things to say about the Curry
family. Mike Yorkey brings us an unauthorized biography
(with extensive references documented) about Steph Curry in
his book, THE RIGHT STEPH, that heralds the upbringing of
this young man and the influence his family has had on him
to live a Godly life.
Mr. Yorkey chronicles the life of Steph Curry from before
he was born, with details about his parents' lives, how
they were raised and how they have had such an influence on
Steph, right through the most recent NBA Championship
games. Steph inherited an awesome set of athletic genes
from both parents, but also a strong spiritual foundation
and a great faith in God. Steph comes from a wealthy
background with private schooling and coaching, so he had a
privileged upbringing, but it by no means spoiled him. His
mother, Sonya, saw to that and has been a tremendous
influence in keeping him humble.
Steph's dad set a good example for him, not only with the
technical aspect of the game of basketball, but also in how
to behave both on and off the court. Dell Curry had a great
influence in molding Steph's character and talent and
molding him into the phenome he is today. Mr.
Yorkey gives
us a glimpse into NBA player's salaries, endorsements and
merchandise deals, their security and the challenges NBA
players face in today's world, both on and off the court,
apart from playing the game.
THE RIGHT STEPH is a great addition to Mike Yorkey's
Playing with Purpose Series about NBA players who are
serious about their faith in God. Stephen Curry has the
right stuff to bring fans back to the NBA in the way that
he plays the game and lives his life. He's a great role
model for kids. Steph is virtually reshaping the way the
game is played and doing it with a quiet charisma. I think
a broad spectrum of ages will certainly enjoy this book,
from future NBA stars that are now playing middle school
basketball to seasoned fans. I highly recommend it!
In the last couple of years, Stephen Curry has reshaped the
way basketball is played, been proclaimed the best shooter
in basketball history (with the stats to back him up),
morphed into the baby-faced face of the NBA, and has been
lauded by many experts as the best player on the planet. In
this fun, fact-filled biography, Playing with Purpose author
Mike Yorkey shows how this likable, humble, and soft-spoken
basketball player is living out his faith—using words only
when necessary.
