“Nervous” Stephen Curry Admits Taking Advice From Rapper Drake And NFL Legend Peyton Manning Over Hosting ESPY Awards: “I’m Just Going To Have Fun”

Stephen Curry is the man of the moment right now. The Golden State Warriors superstar point guard led his team to the franchise’s fourth NBA title in the last eight years. For his efforts, he won the NBA Finals MVP, the trophy which had been missing from his illustrious cabinet. It was a crowning achievement for a player who is the greatest three-point shooter in the history of the game of basketball.

Ever since winning the championship in late June, Steph has been taking his time off the court. He has appeared in numerous golfing events. Steph will also be hosting the 2022 version of the ESPYs.

This will be the first time an NBA player will be hosting ESPYs since LeBron James hosted them in 2007. In a recent article, Steph talked about hosting ESPYs and how is he preparing for it.

Steph said, “When it comes to the hosting gig, obviously I?m nervous and excited. I don?t really know what to expect. I actually tapped into Drake and Peyton Manning on what it?s like, but I think once I get out there, I?m just going to have fun. I?ll be prepared, I?m looking for the opportunity to be on that stage.” He also said, “I?ve been there many times, but I want to see the other side of what hosting is like.”

Stephen Curry and the Warriors’ journey to 2022 NBA Championship

Things had not been going well for the Golden State Warriors prior to the 2021-22 NBA Season. They lost the 2019 NBA Finals to the Toronto Raptors due to various injuries to crucial players like Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson. Kevin Durant then left the Warriors for the Brooklyn Nets.

Then early into the new season, they lost Steph Curry due to a wrist fracture. The only positive thing out of that season was the second overall pick that they received.

But things would take a turn this season. In a coming-of-age season from Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole, and led by Chef Curry, the Warriors were the third seed in the West. They never saw a game seven in the playoffs as they defeated the Boston Celtics in six games in the Finals to clinch the championship.
