Stephen Curry to teach online basketball class

It appears The Baby-Faced Assassin will soon be moonlighting as Professor Curry.

According to Chris Haynes of ESPN.com, Curry will teach online basketball classes this winter through MasterClass, that will feature the two-time MVP breaking down video:

“If I think about where I was when I was 13, if I had access to this type of curriculum, I would have been a much better player faster,” Curry said. “It took me a while to learn how to practice and do the drills the right way. I want people to see how I invest in my game, how I train, what I do in my workouts and what’s my mental approach. So, when the opportunity with Masterclass came about to put a class together where I can show people my unique way of playing this game, it was natural fit. The goal is for everybody to get better and enjoy basketball more. I want them to push and challenge themselves and hopefully they see the game differently.”

MasterClass is an online educational platform that is set to go live in early 2018, and will also feature classes taught by other famous athletes and entertainers, including Serena Williams, Samuel L. Jackson, and Christina Aguilera.

Curry explained what led to his interest in teaching others about his proccess:

“I feel like I have a lot to offer when it comes to what I’ve learned from the game and what I’ve learned from myself and how the game has evolved. I feel like people can learn from me and can be impacted by how I approach the game and this is another way for that to spread to the next generation of basketball players. Everybody says ‘Like Mike,’ but you have to be able to see what that means.”

The class will include step-by-step instruction on ball-handling, shooting techniques, the creation of offense, playing ball screens, proper balancing and finishing on either side of the rim, while also giving tips on conditioning and proper mechanics.

“There is no dunking chapter,” Curry laughingly told Haynes. “So, if you’re looking for that, then this is the wrong place to go.”
