We already know that Steph Curry is one of the greatest NBA players of all time, but for the first time this fall, hoops fans will get a unique glimpse of his life and career through a one-of-a-kind photo book.
Announced earlier this week, Curry and his Unanimous Media company are teaming up with One World, an imprint of the Random House Publishing Group to publish three new books, one of which is entitled "SHOT READY"—a powerful distillation of Curry’s transformative philosophy of success centered on intentional preparation, constant improvement, creativity, connection, mindfulness and joy. The book is drawn from the most important and revealing moments of his life’s journey and delivered in his incomparable voice and style.
Illustrated with over 100 gorgeous photographs, the vast majority of which will appear in this volume for the first time, this book is a major treat for fans as they will get to see tons of rare photos that have never before been revealed to the general public.

"'SHOT READY' is a personal reflection of my journey, both on and off the court. I want to use my story to connect with people of different backgrounds and help them solve the puzzle of their own potential," Curry said via a statement. "This book is a celebration of the work that happens in the shadows, the creativity that fuels every move, and the mindfulness that keeps me grounded. I hope 'SHOT READY' inspires readers to embrace their own journey, trust the process, and always find joy in the pursuit of excellence," he continued.

"Stephen has succeeded in creating a book every bit as graceful, innovative, and full of joy as his game," adds One World Publisher Chris Jackson, who acquired the North American rights to the three projects from Byrd Leavell and Albert Lee at UTA. "I’ve already taken his insights—sometimes elegantly instructive, sometimes inspirational, sometimes transcendent and even spiritual—and applied them in my own life from how I work with my colleagues to how I help my kid navigate challenges at school; from how I can infuse work with purpose to how to improve my decidedly un-Curry-like (but now much-improved!) jump shot."

"I can’t wait to for readers to get their hands on this, whether they’re longtime fans of Curry or just looking for an inspiring, deeply layered, and holistic way of thinking about creating a life that matters," he explained further.
"SHOT READY" is scheduled to release on September 9.
