Stephen Curry: The Puppy Interview

what's up I'm Stephen Curry and I am here to play with some puppies and answer questions let's get it I have two dogs of my own and grew up with a bunch of dogs had Labradors we have Doodles now in our house I'm a dog lover come on bring them home or maybe how many Pebbles you got is it a surprise they're all done oh that's dangerous that is dangerous [Music] we got toys look you match my pants don't get on his head a lively bunch okay uh we ain't doing that we ain't doing that probably after my second year in the NBA I was back home in Charlotte and I was at a car wash getting my car detailed and while I was waiting on my car to come through a fan came up and recognized me and asked me if I could sign something for his kid so of course I said yes but he didn't have any paper or anything really for me to sign so he went into his car looked in his glove box and he found his kids birth certificate in there I don't know if that was the facing government property or whatever the case is but I might have broken the law there but uh yeah I signed a birth certificate in Sharpie for somebody soon foreign [Music] people don't realize I'm six three which is kind of above average height but when you see me out there with all the six eight six nine seven Footers I look small but they see me in person they're kind of surprised that I'm taller than I live on the court mom is an educator so I've probably been like a school teacher teacher slash coach doesn't have like a keychain walking around the school with like this [Music] special time in my life in terms of my formative years where I learned a lot about myself as a basketball player as an athlete I was surrounded by some amazing teammates and coaches where I really adopted the underrated mindset of being able to take you know an opportunity that wasn't what I envisioned you know coming up thinking I was going to play you know High major D1 basketball but you know getting overlooked in the recruiting process and finding a place that was perfect for me in the sense of somewhere where I could really kind of Blossom at my own pace didn't have to really compare myself to anybody it could really come into my own and understand who I was I went off to court now that's a story that's not just for sports that's that's the story for life and sports is a microcosm of life and I think looking back to where I started and where I am now um I think it was a hopefully an inspiring story to tell pastor present I would pick Shaquille O'Neal as my Center Tim Duncan is my power forward Larry Bird is my small forward am I on the team Michael Jordan is my shooting guard late edition I'm not taking Larry I'm taking Kobe as my small forward Jordan at my shooting guard and Magic Johnson at point guard I won't be on the team [Music] try to find my happy place in terms of my thoughts I breathe take deep breaths Embrace whatever is happening in that moment you know whatever the challenge might be or however my emotions are but I think my work ethic is the thing that helps give me the most confidence in those you know environments and those moments because it means that I'm prepared for whatever the task is and I don't really worry too much about the results I just more worry about the process and for me that's that's a comfort zone kind of starts with one trying to get good sleep obviously I work out for a living so I don't really have to worry about exercise too much in my spare time and spend a lot of time with my family my wife my kids find families to get outside usually playing golf so I can enjoy nature I use sweet July skin on my face I think other than that it's just trying to find good balance in terms of being with the people I love and also finding things that kind of scratch the competitive itch outside of basketball [Music] there's a Killer Instinct inside that it comes out on the basketball court for sure but first and foremost I just try to have fun I try not to take anything too seriously in that respect probably Draymond you immediately respond to my face time be tight like that [Music] a little frisky aren't you best advice I would have gotten was to fall in love with the process don't ever be results driven because that's where you can kind of start chasing shadows and lose sight of the experience and the journey like the process and your discipline on a daily basis and how you can just get like one percent better every day that's the magic sauce the results will come but you can't force it get it all moving but my kids best North Carolina Cuisine has to be North Carolina Barbecue [Music] he is a human encyclopedia he literally has the most out of left field facts that he'll drop on you at any moment he's got the most interesting mind I think I've ever been around [Music] lamb chops and pan seared scallops brown sugar chicken and pesto chicken but if I had to pick one favorite it's her chicken Parmesan which was one of the first things she she made for me do I cook no I do not I have one recipe it's a five ingredient pasta so you can't really mess it up got egg noodles Italian sausage basil bell pepper and parmesan cheese takes about 15 minutes to make and if anybody is asking me to cook dinner that's what you get [Music] Aisha Curry can cook for night night or it's a baby face assassin or that's about it that's three [Music] highly highly highly motivated just because I knew who I was and I didn't need nobody to tell me I didn't need any extra people in the tank but it definitely motivated me to figure out that NBA level pretty quick so I could prove it to more myself more than anybody I mean a hole-in-one is pretty special and hard to come by not to rub it in but I've seen people play golf for years and years and years and never have one so it just doesn't touch anything that I've done on the basketball court so golf has a special place in my heart but I know what my day job is [Music] good for the league to have a little excitement early in the season and hopefully we can win the uh the championship in season tournament so that you know there's a little extra incentive in terms of you know some of the payouts of the players 500 000 that's a good day at the job but it'll take an identity of its own over the course of a couple years but I think this first year will be fun to watch you know having been around when my dad was playing the league and seen the buzz in Seattle when they were there I think that's a good City I think Las Vegas would be a good City knowing some of the other sports franchises you got the aces the knights the Raiders maybe Nashville [Music] I got him at the tail end of his career but I'd probably say Leandro Barbosa he had the most underrated layup Packers I think in the history of the league I'd be truly supportive I think what me and Aisha try to do is expose them to as many things as possible let them have amazing experiences as kids to figure out what they're passionate about if that happens to be basketball that'd be great if it's anything else we'll try to make sure that they have the resources necessary to succeed at it but it's only going to be on their own work ethic and you know what they want to put into it but we'll be supportive parents through and through doesn't have to be basketball make sure y'all check out Stephen Curry underrated it
