Stephen Curry's 2020-21 season with the Golden State Warriors may be over, but that doesn't mean he'll stop dishing out clutch assists. This time, Curry is back to help high school players get a much-needed platform to be scene.
After canceling its 2020 version due to the pandemic, Curry is bringing back his Underrated Tour that gives three-star high school players skills training from the Warriors star, as well as the opportunity to showcase their talents. After all, Curry understands how little chance and platform three-star recruits are given even though rankings don't always show the whole picture.
Curry was a three-star high school prospect himself, so he knows the struggle that comes with rankings.

Coach K, Roy Williams, all the ACC schools were there. I thought I played well. And then I'm like, ‘Alright, cool, I'm gonna get some recruiting letters in the mail in, like, the next week. I’m gonna take that next step towards realizing the dream of playing ACC basketball, high Division I basketball.' And… nothing. Crickets.”
Stephen Curry's Underrated Tour starts on July 31 in Washington DC. It then moves to Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles before concluding in Oakland by April.

With his program, the Warriors leader might just find the next NBA or WNBA MVP who will follow in his footsteps and become a trail blazer in the pros.
Curry is surely up for a busy summer and offseason. Aside from his Underrated Tour, he is also set to gear up for the 2021-22 campaign with title aspirations. Hopefully, seeing how the kids work hard will fuel the GOAT shooter even more.
