Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has felt the effects of his sudden rise to fame, having gone from an obscured prospect with seemingly no more future than that of a role player to a two-time MVP and now three-time NBA champion.

The long-range dynamo recently admitted the attention he gets can at times be uncomfortable to deal with:

“It’s uncomfortable at times, for sure,” said a humble Curry in a recent interview with Anthony Slater of The Athletic. “Because I’m not that important. I’m not.”

Curry is too nice to deny an autograph, a photo request or to turn down a handshake from a fan who happens to see him in public.

Andre Iguodala, his teammate and longtime golf partner, knows what it's like to be among “male groupies,” a term he learned during his tenure with Allen Iverson, who had a cult following of his own:

“People will be waiting outside the gate or in the parking lot of a golf course,” Iguodala said of his golf expeditions with Curry. “It’s like, how did you even know we were here? People sitting around waiting to see what car we leave in. They’re at the hotel. They’ll get there early in the morning to see where we’re at. They’ll follow you.”

Stephen Curry set the NCAA ablaze with his shooting, but wasn't expected to shatter NBA records or become a potential Hall of Famer midway through his career. Now that he is, it hasn't changed a family-oriented man of humble values, still staying true to himself despite the sudden fame that engulfed him following back-to-back MVP seasons.
