NBA MVP and league champion Steph Curry is not shy about his faith. He has made it well known that he is a Christian. He even carries scripture on his shoes. While NIKE wasn’t a fan of his sharpie scribbled scripture on their product, Under Armour was quick to embrace; and so, Curry broke his deal with Nike in favor of a company that would support him.
If you look closely you can clearly see “I can do all things…” the first half ov Phillipians 4:13 written on the top of his left shoe. The first picture is a collage of the Nike shoes and the second, a printed version of Curry’s handwriting on the new Under Armour shoe. He calls it “The Curry One,” and it’s appropriate tagline is “Charged by Belief.”
“It represents a Bible verse I wear on my shoe,” Curry said. “Philippians 4:13. It says ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ It’s also my mantra, how I get up for games and why I play the way I do.”
“Obviously, there’s a lot of hoopla and fanfare that follows you wherever you go, but I know where my talent comes from,” said Steph. “I know why I play the game, and it’s not to score 30 points a night, but it’s to use the stage I’m on. I’ve been put here for a specific purpose: to be a witness and to share my testimony as I go through it.”
