In Epic Athletes: Stephen Curry, acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Dan Wetzel tells the inspiring, electrifying story of the NBA superstar, beginning a new series of sports biographies for young readers! Featuring comic-style illustrations by Zeke Peña! When you think of Stephen Curry, one word comes to mind: greatness. From shooting three-pointers with laser precision to his clutch ability to hit buzzer-beaters time and again, he has established himself as one of the best players in pro basketball. But greatness was never a guarantee for Steph. The son of a talented NBA player, he dreamed of one day playing professionally just like his dad. Yet Steph, who was always smaller and weaker than the competition, was told over and over that he would never be talented enough to be a college star or NBA player--let alone the MVP of the entire league. Through tenacity and hard work, he proved them all wrong and went on to dismantle the record books. With the high energy of a TV commentator, and featuring dynamic comic-style illustrations, this engaging biography tells the story of an NBA All-Star and the path he took to achieve his dreams.

Timed to the release of Jerry Bruckheimer's movie, the moving
autobiography of Hall of Fame basketball coach Don Haskins and his
storied team of players, the Texas Western Miners
In 2000, Alonzo Mourning was on top of the world: He had a fat new
NBA contract, an Olympic gold medal, and a second beautiful
child-plus the fame and wealth he had earned playing the game he
loved. But in September of that year he was diagnosed with a rare
and fatal kidney disease. Over the next couple of years, as his
health faltered, he retired, unretired, and retired again-and
sought to make sense of what remained of his life. Finally in 2003,
after a frantic search for a donor match, Mourning had a new kidney
and a new outlook. He vowed to make this second chance count by
dedicating his life to others.
