With one of the best selling jerseys, an extremely popular signature sneaker line and several NBA records to his name, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is a pretty big deal. Such a big deal that Time included Curry among the magazine's annual list of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World."
The American Ballet Theatre's Misty Copeland wrote about Curry for Time:
I’m in awe every time I see Stephen Curry play. He combines a never-before-seen skill set with the panache and flair of a great performance artist. These skills and an amazing sense of the moment allow him to fearlessly lead his record-setting team by simultaneously fitting in and standing out, allowing his teammates to thrive and willing them to victory time and again.
My definition of a role model is someone who maximizes their potential to push the boundaries of their circumstances with passion, purpose, integrity and the sensitivity to know they are setting an example for others along the way. Stephen Curry is a true role model. I can relate to his underdog story. He is showing us all how through belief in yourself, hard work and dedication, it is possible to achieve your dreams, prove your doubters wrong and go from an underdog to a Warrior. Lucky for us, he’s just getting started.
Curry is actually in the "Titans" section on Time's list, which is quite an honor considering that he is the only athlete grouped that way. Other athletes on the Time's overall list are Usain Bolt and Jordan Spieth.
