Basketball was wired the same for decades ā€“ a game predicated on size and brute strength, played within 24 feet of the rim, where jab steps were secondary to el-bow jabs, where athleticism ruled allā€¦until Stephen Curry finally crack the code. Stephen is ā€œWired Differentā€ from his predecessors. A challenger who has hacked handles, hacked range and in the opinion of some ā€“ even ruined the game.

They said he was not as tall and not as strong as his counterparts. But what he lacked in size he made up for in his IQ. Heā€™s shifty and quick, strategic and surgical, plus he packs unlimited range from three. Over the years, he has single-handedly turned the court into a 40-foot playground behind the arc, with vision to match that opens up the floor causing glitches for opposing teams.Ā  They said he was a one-off, a cheat-code, but he has upgraded into a full-blown operating system, helping lead an evolution of basketball, giving players of all sizes ā€“ and abilities ā€“ the confidence to achieve the impossible through hard work, determination and will. In order to continue to break the game and shatter the status quo, Stephen has created a new operating system thatā€™s ā€œWired Differentā€ for the modern game.
