The trailer for a new documentary about the rise of Stephen Curry from an undersized three-point shooter in college to an all-time NBA great arrived on Monday morning and it already looks fantastic.
Produced by Ryan Coogler (who directed Creed and Black Panther), the trailer for Underrated opens with a shot of Reggie Miller looking into the camera and saying “do not rely on him to run your team” in reference to Curry. It seems like a fitting place — and person — to start this journey, since Miller previously owned the league’s career three-point record now held by Curry.

The opening comment from Miller may seem a bit harsh. Except, as many diehard Curry fans already know, those aren’t actually Miller’s thoughts. The former Pacers legend was reading from a now-infamous scouting report of Curry from the 2009 NBA Draft.
In fact, Curry has used that scouting report to cut past promotions.
There is no denying Curry was drastically underrated right up until the moment he became an undeniable sensation. Few players made a quicker impact on not just the NBA, but the way basketball is taught and developed to younger players.
Underrated premieres on Apple TV+ on July 21. It will also play in select theaters.
