The face of the Golden State Warriors and one of the most influential players in NBA history, Stephen Curry has spent over a decade thrilling fans with his dazzling skills. As a four-time NBA champion and the league’s most prolific three-point shooter, Curry has already cemented his place among basketball’s all-time greats.
Yet, despite his numerous accolades and fearless performances on the court, Curry recently revealed a surprising personal struggle. During an interview with ESPN, Curry opened up about the anxiety he faces before every game.
“Oh, for sure I have anxiety. A lot of it is baked into the expectations I’ve set and the level I want to play at. It’s your own expectations and awareness of what a good game is. It’s a healthy insecurity of having to prove yourself every single night, which is cool. It keeps you going,” Curry said.
Last year, Curry added another milestone to his storied career by winning his first Olympic gold medal. By teaming up with stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant, he helped lead Team USA to victory at the Paris Olympics.
