Stephen Curry’s ‘Shot Ready’: A Deep Dive Into His Unstoppable Journey, From NBA Glory to Global Empire
Stephen Curry is taking fans on a unique journey through both his personal and professional life with the release of his book Shot Ready. The book, which hit the shelves this week, is already making waves, quickly climbing the ranks to become one of Amazon’s top 10 best-sellers and topping the sports book charts. A dynamic blend of over 400 pages, sprinkled with more than 100 behind-the-scenes photographs, Shot Ready isn’t just about Curry’s legendary career as an NBA player; it’s a deeper look into the mindset that has fueled his rise to greatness.
As one of the most successful players in NBA history — a four-time champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and the all-time leader in 3-pointers — Curry has often been praised for his work ethic, humility, and ability to perform in the clutch. In his book, Curry opens up about the highs and lows of his journey, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and the principles that have shaped him, both on and off the court. He describes Shot Ready as a chance to offer readers a fresh perspective on his life, aiming to inspire others by showcasing the relentless pursuit of excellence that has defined his career.
For Curry, the book is more than just a collection of memories; it’s a way of reflecting on his journey while continuing to push forward. “It’s a moment of reflection but also for me, it’s a moment to motivate me to keep going and get everything else I can out of this game,” he says. The process of writing has been therapeutic for him, often pausing to relive moments captured in photographs, and diving into the emotions and lessons tied to each image.
But Shot Ready is just one facet of Curry’s ever-expanding empire. Beyond basketball, Curry has ventured into numerous business endeavors, from his partnership with Under Armour for his Curry Brand to a multimedia company, a bourbon line, and even a restaurant project. He is passionate about making golf more accessible through his Underrated golf tour and remains dedicated to philanthropy through his nonprofit work with his wife, Ayesha Curry, providing meals and educational opportunities for children in need.
Despite these ventures, Curry remains fully committed to his primary role: basketball. Entering his 17th NBA season, Curry is still at the peak of his career, balancing his many pursuits with the passion that continues to drive him forward. “Sometimes, it does feel like it’s a lot,” he admits, “but when you get to a project like this, it’s all about celebrating life and sharing what matters to me with anyone who’ll listen.”
At the heart of Shot Ready is a powerful message: Success doesn’t always unfold in the way you expect, but with unwavering preparation, deep belief, and a readiness to seize the moment, greatness is within reach. For Curry, this mindset is what it means to truly be shot ready.
