Golden State Warriors icon Stephen Curry, a four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP, has long dazzled fans with his unparalleled shooting prowess and magnetic presence on the court. With 16 years in the NBA and 11 All-Star appearances, Curry’s legacy as one of basketball’s all-time greats is undeniable. But beyond the hardwood, the superstar has carved out an equally impressive off-court empire, from launching his own sneaker brand with Under Armour to producing the quirky, golf-themed ABC game show Holey Moley. Now, Curry is adding a thrilling new chapter to his storied career with the release of his highly anticipated book, Shot Ready, set to hit shelves this Tuesday.

In a heartfelt post on X, accompanied by a captivating video trailer, Curry announced the launch with a message that resonates far beyond the game:
“SHOT READY, my new book, is officially out now,” he wrote. “More than a story about basketball, it’s a story about belief, resilience, and doing the work when no one’s watching. For every young dreamer who’s ever been underestimated: this one’s for you.”
Unlike Curry’s previous ventures into children’s literature, Shot Ready is a bold, introspective dive into the mind and methods of the greatest shooter in NBA history. This isn’t just a book about basketball—it’s a masterclass in discipline, a reflection on fatherhood, marriage, and the many roles Curry juggles off the court. For the first time, fans will get an unfiltered look at the principles and practices that have fueled his meteoric rise.
In an exclusive excerpt shared by Men’s Health, Curry unveils one of the secrets behind his legendary shooting accuracy: an unwavering commitment to consistency.
“From a technical standpoint, the greatest shooters all rely on one thing: consistency in their release point,” Curry writes. “The release point is the exact height and position of your shooting hand as the ball leaves it. The best players develop the ability to repeat the same release every single time. If you looked at photos of all the thousands of shots I took this season, the top quadrant of every photo would look exactly the same. Doesn’t matter if I’m shooting two feet from the rim or from the logo, releasing a pull-up jumper in transition with seconds left on the clock or getting shots up in my backyard court with my dogs in the middle of the night. It’s the same shot, every time.”
