THE BADDEST SPEECH WRITER OF ALL hits Netflix December 8! The short documentary film also won the Short Film Grand Jury Prize at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. In the last few hours, Stephen Curry has undergone MRI scans which have revealed right oblique abdominal tear after he was spotted wincing in pain at the clash against the Houston Rockets. It is yet to be confirmed when Stephen Curry can bounce back in the court.
For the unversed, in the last few months, the Golden state Warriors’ Stephen Curry had kept himself busy co-directing a 29-minute film with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ben Proudfoot, the documentary, “The Baddest Speechwriter of All”. “The Baddest Speechwriter of All” is based on the story of Clarence B. Martin Luther King Jr. and helped write the first seven paragraphs of King’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. A few months ago, in an interview with The Canadian Press, the two time Oscar winner, Ben Proudfoot, reflected on working alongside Stephen Curry as he said, “Stephen’s a first-time filmmaker and I’ve made hundreds of short documentaries. And he also happens to be, you know, one of the greatest basketball players ever,” Ben Proudfoot added, “He’s extremely observant and very focused…I was explaining how I approach interviews, and I could tell that in addition to listening to me, he was also watching my hands, my movements.
Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ star player, has had a few pretty busy days in this week as he defended his wife, Ayesha Curry , against the trolls while also sustaining a brutal oblique tear at the court. As the four time NBA champion is all set to miss the next few games, it seems he is focusing on the other aspect of his career as he has shared an update on it. A few hours ago, the NBA icon Stephen Curry took to his social media to share an update on his upcoming project which he has co-directed. The post read as, “Special one right here! Honored to help tell Dr. Clarence B. Jones’ story and shine a light on his incredible legacy. Jones, the lawyer, adviser and speechwriter who worked closely with Dr. I realized there actually are a lot of gestural and physical things I do as a director in an interview that he helped me discover. The two time Oscar winner, Ben Proudfoot, continued, “Stephen (envisioned) a way to move the camera around, almost like how a basketball game might be shot, where the perspective is freewheeling. That’s what initially inspired the idea of animating a lot of these memories.
