  "account": "The documentary \"Portrait of an Artist: Stephen Curry\" is set to premiere in IMAX theaters on October 9, 2026. The film chronicles the NBA superstar's journey leading up to and beyond his record-extending 4,000th career 3-pointer milestone. Directed by Religion of Sports co-founder Gotham Chopra, the movie showcases Curry's rise to greatness through his upbringing, mindset, and work ethic. Curry shared that basketball is a craft he loves deeply, and being compared to an artist is a humbling experience for him. The IMAX-certified documentary utilized 21 cameras to capture the pivotal moment Curry drained the milestone-setting three-pointer against the Sacramento Kings during the 2024-25 season. The film also features interviews with artists Viola Davis, Rick Rubin, Patti Smith, and Jon Batiste who discuss Curry's artistic prowess. The project is a collaboration between Curry's multimedia company Unanimous Media and Religion of Sports, Disney, and ESPN.",
