①If you love basketball, you must know Stephen Curry, an excellent basketball player in the NBA.
②Curry was born on March 14th, 1988 in Ohio, the US. His father and brother were both basketball players. In his childhood, his father often took him and his brother to watch the games and practise basketball after competitions. Influenced by his father, Curry showed the talents in playing basketball when he was young. And he had a perfect balance between athletic skills and performances. However, due to a lack of size and strength at that time, many schools didn’t believe in his abilities or skills and rejected him joining their school basketball teams.
③Curry never gave up but removed the doubts with hard training. All his devotion and persistence paid off. He was enrolled at Davidson College where he became a national star. He always got the most points in a game and people could hardly forget his fantastic performances. In 2009, Curry became a member of the GSW（Golden State Warriors）.
④Curry is famous especially for his three-point shoot. He made more than 400 three-point shots in the 2016 season. Many fans call him the greatest shooter in NBA history. He has won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award twice, and led the GSW to their first championship.
⑤”He is like a great actor on a Broadway stage.” said Coach Steve Kerr. “He sings his best notes and dances his best steps.” 28 years old, Curry is still young and has a long way to go in NBA. We believe that he will bring us more surprises in the future.
