Therefore, Under Armour also made him cheaper. Now Under Armour has even become Nike's biggest competitor.

In fact, Curry was also born in this small town less than 40 minutes' drive from Cleveland , and even the same hospital as LeBron was born. Dell Curry, who was a sophomore at the time, played for Cavaliers . Shortly after Curry was born, he was picked out in the expansion draft by Hornets . Since then, he has been in Charlotte for ten years. Therefore, Curry's childhood was mainly in Charlotte. By the way, the actual age of these two fellow villagers is only 40 months apart.

5. Chewing braces can help him relax
Chewing braces is definitely a major feature of Curry's competition. In order to show that they are unique, Curry even customized braces in various colors. Some people may wonder, aren’t braces worn in their mouths? What's the use of making it so fancy? Because for Curry, braces may take more time to hang around his mouth. He once revealed in an interview that when he was a junior, he was hit with his elbow, causing seven stitches to be sewn on his lips and his teeth to be a little loose. Since then, he has developed the habit of wearing braces. Although the service life of a brace is three to six months, Curry will change to a new one every three to four games because he always likes to chew his braces, which makes the braces less and less fit. Some data experts have done statistics specifically, and found that if Curry chews braces during free throws, his free throw shooting percentage will be as high as 92%, otherwise it will be only 89%. Curry also admitted that chewing braces will make him feel more relaxed.A fan once saw Curry throwing away his braces after the game, but he actually sold them for $3,190. The braces Curry lost in the finals were sold at a sky-high price of $25,000.

Finally one day his mother couldn't stand it anymore. After discussing with his child's father, he set a rule for his son that if he made more than three mistakes in the game, Curry would owe his mother 100 yuan. If it was less than three times, it would decrease and be liquidated to him after the season ended. This regulation is still valid until now. It is worth mentioning that Curry has not owed debt for two consecutive years and is very likely to continue his good performance this season.
7. He hated shooting and shot 1,000 goals with tears
When he was in his senior year, old Curry found that Stephen Curry 's shooting hand shape was wrong. As a shooter, he understood very well that such a posture was easily covered. If you want to go to the next level, you must go through devil training. So that summer, Curry was like being "confined", and he had to practice 1,000 goals before every formal training. And then, his father Dell Curry survived this way. This was the only time Stephen Curry hated shooting. When recalling this period, Curry's aunt Jackie Curry once said: "We call it 'Summer Tears', Stephen is here Li became Dell, and he kept shooting with tears. "
8. He was rejected by the NCAA. Not only did Curry have a doll-like face, but his body was also extremely thin and didn't look like a basketball player at all. In the summer of 2006, Curry graduated from high school. Old Curry ran around for his son, looking for a university that could accept Curry, but no NCAA prestigious school was willing to provide scholarships for Curry. Their reason was: "This guy is too thin and can't play NCAA at all." Even the coach of the Duke , who has always been keen on, thinks Curry can't adapt to the intensity of the NCAA and chooses to refuse.
9. Bouncing is the same as Griffin
NBA has a misunderstanding that shooters often have average physical fitness and insufficient athletic ability is a common problem. However, during the physical examination of the draft that year, Curry's jumping height was 75 cm in place and 90 cm in running and assisting jumping, which is comparable to "bounce master" Griffin. His 84 kg bench press data was 10 times. In comparison, the data of Durant was 0. Curry, who seemed to be a "rib skeleton", was not only not weak, but also strong.
10, Curry and Rivers are in-laws
Although the sports gene was fulfilled in Curry very late, it is undeniable that Curry's family can definitely be regarded as a prominent family in the American sports industry.

In addition, Curry also has a sister named Cider. She took over her mother's mansion and played volleyball in college.

Summary:
Library's projection ability is personally considered to be the top three in history, and even the first in history. Ray Allen is great, Miller is also great, but Curry is the first in history in terms of shooting accuracy, shooting range, shooting speed, etc.
Then there is his finishing ability at the basket. His feel is very soft and his physical coordination ability is very strong. His core strength and arm strength make him not afraid of confrontation, so his finishing shooting rate is extremely high at the basket.
His ball-handling ability is the top two in the league, and the other is Irving . He is different from Irving. Irving relies on fake movements in front of the body to change direction, fancy crotch behind, etc. to break through horizontally, which looks good and unexpectedly. Curry relies on the threat of shooting and pick-and-roll to the basket. He shot accurately, shot a long distance, and shot quickly, so the defenders often dare not go too far, and they are easily overwhelmed when they are close. Moreover, Curry often worships Buddha and directly points the defenders' center of gravity, and then accelerates.
Curry changed the way of playing basketball, just like Jordan.
