NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. Stephen Curry on being shot ready: preparation, improvement, and joy before the ball leaves the hand.
What this book is about
Shot Ready is Curry’s account of the work behind the highlight: habits, craft, creativity, mindfulness, and the people around him. Illustrated with more than 100 photographs, it is part memoir and part practice philosophy — how a 6-foot-2 guard made the three-pointer a problem every defence has to solve for forty-eight minutes.
Our take
Closer to a visual manifesto than a drill manual. Strong if you care about Curry as a craftsman; thinner if you wanted a coaching syllabus. Pairs cleanly with The Mamba Mentality: Kobe on obsession and film, Curry on preparation and joy. Paperback on Bookee, One World.
Who should read this
- Basketball fans who want Curry’s process, not only the range
- Athletes thinking about routines and identity under size mismatch
- Gift buyers pairing this with The Mamba Mentality
- Readers of athlete memoirs who can live with photography-heavy layout
About the author
Stephen Curry is a four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors and the league’s all-time leader in three-pointers. Below the typical NBA height, he changed how the game is spaced. Shot Ready is the book he put that career into.
