STEPHEN CURRY, RYAN COOGLER, PETE NICKS, ERICK PEYTON on movies & basketball | In Proximity | Ep. 17

On our IN PROXIMITY PODCAST season finale, we’re going all in on Stephen Curry: Underrated, an inspiring coming-of-age story documenting the rise of NBA superstar, Golden State Warrior, and Davidson legend Stephen Curry from Proximity Media and our partners at Unanimous, A24, and Apple TV+. The film’s creative minds team up for an intimate and epic conversation about movies, basketball, and more: Stephen Curry himself, director Pete Nicks, and producers Erick Peyton and Ryan Coogler. They talk about how the film came together (1:18) and how they each tackle some of the biggest themes in Stephen's basketball career as illustrated in the documentary (8:41): dealing with loss, believing in yourself, and wearing the idea of being “underrated” as a badge of honor. The episode ends with recommendations, or "Prox Recs," from each guest (39:15).

RC, you continue to ask gr8 questions and it's obvious that you're interested in the responses. The questions are open and deeper than what most people ask with media content now. It's on a Charlie Rose level.

[@tieuellegacy]

That's an incredible, and almost outlandish thought, to believe in the imposter syndrome during that Black Panther production. I understand how huge of an undertaking that is though. I had that question in mind when thinking about you going from Fruitvale Station to Creed to BP in such a short amount of time. I'd love to see you connect that particular conversation with the making of featurettes that you all did for BP.

[@MsBeautiful-i2v]

This was a long one but I pushed through. That's the key to doing something you love. Could you be taught? Are you willing to learn? Thanks.

[@strikerreese4795]
