According to an article posted this morning by Chris Haynes of ESPN, Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry is partnering with MasterClass and will teach online video classes on basketball fundamentals.

In an interview with ESPN, Curry opened up about why he wanted to venture into the field of teaching and his desire to share his exceptional basketball knowledge with others.

“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.”

MasterClass, described as an online educational platform that offers classes taught by experts in their respected fields, also includes lessons taught by Martin Scorsese (filmmaking), Samuel L. Jackson (acting), Steve Martin (comedy), Christina Aguilera (singing), and Serena Williams (tennis).

The website advertises 15 lessons for $90 in which Curry breaks down basketball fundamentals such as shooting mechanics, scoring techniques, ball-handling drills, mental attitude, game film analysis and more.

“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 [a] natural fit,” Curry said. “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.”

Curry said he will also occasionally partake in Q&A sessions and believes the classes will not only be beneficial to many people but himself as well.

“I get to assess my own game and see what I could have done better, like when I get into a pick-and-roll situation, or a situation where I have to make quick decisions, you can freeze at that moment and explain everything that can possibly happen with all the different outcomes and why I chose to do what I did, versus what I could have done better,” Curry said. “I think hearing that from my perspective should be pretty interesting to people who either watch our games or just play basketball themselves.”

Curry is the company's first basketball player, as his class is now open for pre-enrollment at the MasterClass website and will go live in early 2018.
