From 'Hamilton' to hero and a baller: What if the Broadway sensation's creator had been inspired by Stephen Curry?

If Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of the Broadway smash "Hamilton," had watched Stephen Curry instead of reading about the United States' first treasury secretary, the result might have gone something like this (set to the tune of "Alexander Hamilton"):

How does a too-skinny, Christian, son of a scorer and a

Hot mom, splashed in the middle of a

Forgotten spot in the NBA by the Golden Gate

With bad ankles. “He should be taller.”

Grow up to be a hero and a baller?

The three-point founding father with a famous father

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

By warming up smarter

By shooting half-courters

By college, he was shooting threes

For a mid major

And every day while the Warriors were being slaughtered and carted

To the bottom, he struggled and got his shots up

Inside, he was longing for something to be part of

The brother was ready to drive, deal, cross over or spot up.
