Steph Curry, one of the greatest basketball players of the modern era, still isn’t always confident in his abilities.
The 37-year-old opened up about his vulnerabilities in an exclusive interview with CNBC.
“I’m human,” Curry told Sherman. “Like everybody, you have doubts about yourself; you have impostor syndrome at times.”
The journalist conducting the interview, Alex Sherman, seemed surprised and cut in to ask Curry if impostor syndrome is something he still grapples with.
“At times, yeah,” the Steph confirmed.
But he went on to explain that these insecurities don’t always come from what is happening on an NBA court.
“It’s an idea of, ‘Are you doing everything you can to take care of people that are relying on you?’” Curry said. “Are you fulfilling your full potential in all different areas that I’ve set out to do? Like those are daily commitments and daily thoughts that you kind of have to weave through.”
“We all like to be a better husband, a better father, more present at times, just because we’re pulled – I’m pulled – in a lot of different areas.”
While his life can be crazily busy at times (besides being an NBA superstar, Curry also owns a media company, a bourbon brand, a golf league for kids, and a philanthropic foundation that gives back to California students), he tries to savor every moment.
“All of these realities are wild to me, and sometimes you just gotta get out of your own way and enjoy it,” Curry added.
Away from the court, Steph is husband to Ayesha Curry. They pair have four kids together: Riley Elizabeth Curry, 12, Ryan Carson Curry, 9, Canon W. Jack Curry, 6, and Caius Chai Curry, 1.
