Despite the addition of Kevin Durant two year ago, Stephen Curry arguably remains to be the Golden State Warriors' most important asset.
However, it wasn't always the good life for Steph as he too had to deal with his fair share of adversity. Living in the shadow of his father, Dell, who is considered as one of the deadliest shooters of his generation, the younger Curry always found himself in a position wherein he had to prove himself.
Looking back at how he successfully triumphed over his difficult times, the two-time Most Valuable Player winner recounts the three pivotal moments in his career wherein he felt that he had “made it.”
Speaking to CNBC, Curry first identified his scoring outburst in Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks in February 2013 wherein he drained 11 out of his 13 attempts from deep.
“The first one was, we played a game in New York and I scored 54 points,” recollected Curry. “That was the first time I was actually talked about as a lethal scorer.”
He then went on to speak about his first championship run in 2015 — the season wherein the 6-foot-3 guard was also awarded his first MVP trophy.
“The second was probably playing for our first championship, which is something that is every player's dream — to get to that level and be playing for the ultimate goal.”
Finally, the Baby-Faced Assassin narrated a personal phone call direct from the White House.
“And the third was probably getting a call from President Barack Obama saying, ‘Do you want to play golf?'” he recalled. “That was probably the icing on the cake right there.”
With tip-off of Game 2 of the NBA Finals just hours away, Curry is currently just three wins away from bagging back-to-back championships and his third in four years. Accomplishing this unprecedented task would definitely be a good addition to this list.
