Marcus Rashford, Russell Wilson, Letícia Bufoni, Scout Bassett, Bubba Wallace, and Lindsey Vonn are featured this time around.
"The series brings in guests from different backgrounds for fascinating conversations around the themes of hatred, chance, failure, perfection and others."
The feature-length documentary on the basketball legend will be directed by Gotham Chopra (Religion of Sports).

"It's not been fun. It's been scary. ...I'm worth more than gold."

Director Gotham Chopra spoke to AA about why he featured pundits like ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman in the final episode of Stephen vs The Game, and how Stephen Curry reacts to being under a punditry microscope.
Curry's openness combined with Gotham Chopra's skillful use of archival footage and interviews of others to make the first episode of Stephen Vs. The Game an interesting one, one which stands out in a crowded field of athlete content.
