NBA gives Stephen Curry’s height as 6 ft 2 in (about 188 cm).
What do the reviewed sources establish?
Curry’s checked NBA page lists 6 ft 2 in, with 1.88 m as its metric display. This is the league’s player-directory entry checked on October 22, 2026.
Curry gives a different figure himself in WIRED’s August 2, 2023 interview: 6 ft 3 in (about 191 cm). That is a dated self-report, while 6 ft 2 in is the NBA listing checked for this page. Neither source documents a measurement procedure that resolves the difference.
Sporting career
Curry is a Golden State Warriors point guard whose long-range shooting helped change how basketball is played. His career is associated with championship teams and with making the three-point shot central to an offence. His role brings ball-handling and perimeter shooting together, while the league’s award record documents the results of that approach.
The NBA’s announcement of his 2015–16 MVP award records a specific landmark season: Golden State finished 73–9, Curry led the league in scoring and made 402 three-pointers. He became the first unanimous winner of the award. He received all 131 first-place votes, including the fan vote, after winning the previous season’s MVP award as well. The announcement also records his 30.1 scoring average and 6.7 assists per game, placing the shooting record within his wider contribution to the team.

In WIRED’s 2023 Autocomplete Interview, Curry discusses his height, shooting balance and the motivation behind being considered underrated. The published transcript supplies the 6 ft 3 in self-report discussed above. It also lets readers hear his explanation of the work behind his shooting.
