I love that basketball gives me the opportunities to do good things for people and to point them towards the Man who died for our sins on the cross.
Stephen CurryEvery step of the way I think you learn something that makes you a better player, and all those lessons really come out when it matters the most in a championship.
Stephen CurryWhat I tell people is be the best version of yourself in anything that you do. You don't have to live anybody else's story.
Stephen CurryObviously, everybody wants to see Tiger [Woods] come back, but I think it's in a really good place with how much talent is out there and the exciting finishes you have, week in, week out.
Stephen CurryDoesn't matter where you come from, what you have or don't have... All you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.
Stephen CurryIn my terms, "neurocognitive efficiency" is being able to make smarter, faster decisions on the floor.
Stephen CurryEverything happens for a reason, and everything has a story, and if you take time to realise what your dream is and what you really want in life... whether it's sports, whether it's in other fields, you have to realise that there's always work to do.
Stephen CurryI'm pretty confident, let's just say that, in my game right now, for what it is. So if that means a win, then I'll be real happy.
Stephen CurryI still have a Lydia Ko-signed golf ball in my sock drawer that I'll keep for a while.
Stephen CurryI'm a golf junkie. I watch every tournament pretty much. I watch interviews. I watch warm-up routines. All that stuff.
Stephen CurryIf it's sports and women's golf, men's golf, and it's on TV, I'm watching it. I watched those ladies do what they do at such a high level, and she's obviously a big basketball fan and a fan of ours, too. So it was cool to have that interaction.
Stephen CurryI'm very conscious of data and analytics, and understanding how our body works and different loads that we put on it throughout the course of games and practices. It helps you make adjustments if you need to, helps you be smarter about your workouts, and I think it protects you from injuries to not over-exert yourself.
Stephen CurryIt represents a Bible verse I wear on my shoe. Philippians 4:13. It says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' It's also my mantra, how I get up for games and why I play the way I do.
Stephen CurryI got good grades but no particular comment stands out in my memory, I'm afraid. I was one of those annoying and rather boring model pupils.
Stephen CurryI've played with Mardy Fish a lot. Played with him, I think, two years ago in one of the weekend rounds.
Stephen CurryEach game is an opportunity to be on a great stage and be a witness for Christ. When I step on the floor, people should know who I represent, who I believe in.
Stephen CurryObviously he deserved that Finals MVP award. He is a great talent and he is a huge reason why we are celebrating.
Stephen CurryI think I may have too much of a scientific mindset and am always looking for the caveats and qualifications in any situation. I never thought seriously of doing a PhD until relatively late in the day. I was always diligent at the book-work at university but the brightest amongst my friends all seemed to have a more intuitive grasp of the subject.
Stephen CurryIt's a really weird mindset to kind of try to take my mentality on the basketball court and bring it here on to the golf course. I don't want to have too high of expectations on, like, each hole, just try to enjoy the process, but hopefully get out to a good start tomorrow and be in the conversation and see what happens.
Stephen CurryI've never been afraid of big moments. I get butterflies.. I get nervous and anxious, but I think those are all good signs that I'm ready for the moment.
Stephen CurryWe just forced them into tough shots that whole overtime. It was a classic five minutes that we needed.
Stephen CurryPhysically I feel pretty good; that's the main key, is just making sure your body is ready to play every night since you play so many games and I feel like I'm there.
Stephen CurryI can accomplish all those. It's really awkward, kind of, for me coming out here and being in a competitive golf atmosphere. I don't get to do it but once a year, except my, like, local tournaments back home in Oakland.
Stephen CurryI do a little sign on the court every time i make a shot or a good pass and i pound my chest and point to the sky - it symbolizes that i have a heart for God. Itโs something that my mom and I came up with in college and I do it every time I step on the floor as a reminder of who iโm playing for.
