If you every paid attention to Stephen Curry’s signature Under Armour sneakers, you may have seen “I can do all things” written in Sharpie on the Warriors All-Star’s shoes. The words come from Philippians 4:13 and Curry has been writing the Bible verse on his sneakers ever since his college days at Davidson.
For Curry, Philippians 4:13 is a verse that pushes him to achieve greatness everyday.
Curry famously landed on Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” — and he’s been writing a variation of each Bible verse on his sneakers just before taking the court, along with his given “WSC” initials, every game since.
“It’s a mantra that I live by and something that drives me every single day,” Curry said. “It’ll hopefully inspire people to find something that drives them, whether that’s a verse or some other motivating force that keeps you hungry and keeps you driven. That’s mine, and you can pick whatever yours is and let that drive you, too, as you continue with basketball or whatever field you’re in in your life.”
So the next time you see “I can do all things” on Curry’s sneakers, know that the words are driving him to play every game like the superstar that he is.
Curry explained that his mom was the base of his strong Christian faith, taking them to church and Bible studies.
