The amount of traction women\u2019s basketball has made in the past few years has been amazing to watch. Figures such as Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers are certainly the ones to credit, but there are also others who have done their fair share. Although his actions aren\u2019t always highlighted, Stephen Curry has been a focal point in the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> love for the game knows no bounds. The four-time NBA champion has spoken highly of the WNBA and makes a point to have his actions back up his words.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Curry participated in a three-point contest against Sabrina Ionescu<\/a><\/strong> at NBA All-Star Weekend, which was a huge success. Their competitive duel brought significant attention to not just Ionescu as a player but the WNBA<\/a><\/strong> as a whole. While many people view the men\u2019s and women\u2019s games as two different sports, Curry has a unique viewpoint.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the same basketball as basketball,\u201d Curry said<\/a><\/strong> on\u00a0The Catch Up. \u201cYou want as many young boys and girls playing the game as possible. But they need a vision of what that looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lot of young girls don\u2019t have the same opportunities to excel in basketball as boys. That\u2019s why Curry has taken it upon himself to utilize his resources to spark change. The launch of his Curry Camp isn\u2019t just for boys but also girls, featuring some of the best young talent the women\u2019s game has to offer.<\/p>\n

One of the camp\u2019s standout members is UConn star Azzi Fudd. The reigning national champion earned a Curry Brand sponsorship and even travelled with fellow Under Armour members on their recent China trip. That all started due to Curry giving the young star a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2017, we had two female campers, Azzi Fudd and Cameron Brink. I think the next year was like eight. Then fast forward to now, it\u2019s even on both sides. I think that\u2019s a huge part, walking that walk and putting your money where your mouth is,\u201d Curry said.<\/p>\n

Curry has certainly lived by his words and looks to expand even more in the near and far future. \u201cWhat I want for the women\u2019s game is making sure that there\u2019s true opportunity. That you\u2019re able to leverage every platform possible to put them on stage,\u201d Curry proclaimed.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t just mean uplifting these athletes through basketball. Curry has even branched over to the world of golf, and striving to establish diversity and equity in that space. Golf is one of the more difficult sports for children to play due to it\u2019s high cost. Curry\u2019s Underrated Golf Tour, creates an opening that once wasn\u2019t there. The organization\u2019s mission reiterates the blueprint which fuels Curry in all things.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderrated Golf believes that all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity or gender, should have the access and resources they need to play golf,\u201d as listed<\/a><\/strong> on their website.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s beautiful to see the progress women\u2019s basketball and women\u2019s sports have made thus far, but it\u2019ll be even more intriguing to see the lengths it goes next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The amount of traction women\u2019s basketball has made in the past few years has been amazing to watch.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":218952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,3366,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-218951","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-stephen-curry","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us","13":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115187338888601450","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
