News & Documentary Emmy winner Peter Nicks (Homeroom) has been tapped to direct Underrated, a new feature doc on NBA superstar Stephen Curry from Apple Original Films, A24, Curry’s Unanimous Media, and Nicks and Ryan Coogler’s Proximity Media.

Curry is a point guard who has been with the Golden State Warriors since 2009 and is regarded as one of the best players in the league. Underrated will look at his historic success during the 2008 NCAA March Madness tournament, as well as his record-shattering and game-changing playing style that turned him from an overlooked prospect to an NBA legend. The film will culminate in his 2022 run to a fourth NBA title and his first NBA Finals Most Valuable Player trophy.
