Stephen Curry

I want to thank God, obviously for the health, for the talent He's given me, for my family who supports me, for the things that basketball's taught me on and off the court. For the people that I've been able to meet through the game of basketball.

Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. But the truth is you really don't.

You have so much fun playing games. We all love basketball, so we never want the season to end, 'cause then it's five months of sitting around and watching the playoffs.

I try to make it look easy, but the behind-the-scenes stuff is the challenge.

I have fun out there on the court, smiling, laughing, trying to have good demeanor.

It's really annoying for me. That's not what I'm playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron's throne or whatever.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.

Basketball is booming, and it's not just an Under Armour standpoint: it's about the game itself. Kids going out and playing and being inspired by what we do on the court.

I expected to be a pretty good NBA point guard and hopefully win a championship. But MVP and all this stuff? Not really.

I've been blessed with talents to play this game and been put on a stage to impact a lot of people. I don't want to take that for granted.

Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I'm going to execute it.

I know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.

You know, I'm trying to chase rings, and that's all I'm about. So that's where the conversation stops for me.

We knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn't handle that business then there were no privileges.

I won't have to do any major changes to continue my career a long way, hopefully. Just hopefully stay healthy and be able to help a team out as I go through and still play at a pretty high level.

A lot of guys are able to separate how they act off the court versus how they act on the court.

That feeling is so intoxicating, walking off the court holding the Larry O'Brien trophy. So I just want to do that again.

Some of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.

I think about the milestones from my childhood and what it will be like to watch our kids go through them. Taking Riley to her first day of school was a whirlwind. I can't imagine what middle school is going to be like, and high school, and graduation.
