The first-round matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings is heating up and the spotlight is on Stephen Curry. The 2022 Finals MVP is leading his team from the front, even at the age of 35. Despite the series being all square now, Curry’s recent blunder could have tipped the scales toward the Kings. Interestingly, the four-time NBA champion had once addressed his insecurities on the hardwood.
The Warriors superstar was the GQ cover star for the month of February 2022. During the interview with GQ, Steph revealed his experience with ‘insecurity’, while also revealing his source of drive.

NBA superstars are some of the most famous personalities in the world. However, they are human beings as well. It is perfectly natural for them to have feelings of insecurity and self-doubt.
During the GQ interview, Steph Curry touched upon this subject. He revealed that high expectations often bring in feelings of insecurity. However, the four-time NBA champion uses his insecurities to motivate himself.
Curry said, “There’s a level of insecurity that comes with my personal experience of how I get ready for a season. I understand where the bar is at and I’ve got to keep raising it. So that level of insecurity drives me, because it’s three months where you’re thinking about how do you get better?”
The Dubs star made it abundantly clear that he doesn’t care about how he feels, but how he reacts to the feeling. For instance, Curry didn’t give up after almost hurling the Warriors into an unsurmountable 3-1 deficit during their recent matchup with the Kings. In fact, Curry called a timeout when there wasn’t any left. But he didn’t let this embarrassing incident overpower him, as the two-time MVP gears up to lead the defending champions to promised land.
