Steph Curry: Why Warriors Star Has Bible Verse Written on His Sneakers

• Stephen Curry's Under Armour sneakers always have something special written on them.
• A Bible verse, Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
• Curry says recently said the verse is his mantra.

Stephen Curry announced himself on the world stage by leading the Golden State Warriors to the 2015 NBA title. The following season, he and the Warriors broke several NBA records, including winning 73 games in the regular season.

Since then, the 34-year-old has inspired millions of people across the world. His three-point shooting ability changed how basketball is played.

Most of Curry's sneakers usually have a Bible verse written on them, and the four-time NBA winner says that it is what drives him.

Under Armour signed the two-time MVP Curry in 2013 in a signature shoe and merchandising deal. His first sneaker dropped in 2015 as the "Under Armour Curry 1."

His current deal with Under Armour runs through 2024, but he was reportedly close to quitting the corporation in 2018 because of friction between him and founder Kevin Plank who supported Donald Trump.

Steve Kerr's side are now 21-22 for the season and sit 8th in the Western Conference. They have won just once in their last five games and will need to get back on track if they want to avoid the play-in tournament.
