"I want our girls to grow up knowing that there are no boundaries that can be placed on their futures. I want them to grow up in a world where their gender does not feel like a rulebook for what they should think or do. And I want them to grow up believing that they can dream big," Curry wrote.



Stephen Curry is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Many players and analysts have called him the greatest shooter in NBA history. In 2014–15, Curry won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award and led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. The following season, he became the first player in NBA history to be elected MVP by a unanimous vote and to lead the league in scoring while shooting above 50–40–90.
