Steph Curry Discusses 'Insanity' Of Trash Talk In Fanless Games (via NBCSAuthentic)
Steph Curry's life has changed immensely since his days of playing basketball as a kid, but the same can't be said of his personality, nor his leadership style.
"As I look back from when I started playing AAU basketball when I was nine to now, I have the same personality," Curry told ESPN's Doris Burke as part of Friday's fourth annual Jr. NBA Leadership Conference."I love to have fun, I love to smile, I love to crack jokes and keep it light no matter what room I'm in. I've always known that was my disposition, my personality, and that's what I was comfortable with.
"Because I was talented and eventually became the best player on the team, there comes a certain expectation that, from a leadership standpoint, sometimes you have to be the most vocal and demonstrative. We're all watching the MJ documentary, and you see how he showed up every single day committed to winning. And it was all about winning, winning, winning, which is important. And he had a certain style that he was comfortable with.
Curry, though, didn't fall victim to that expectation. He stayed true to himself, meaning he had to lead in his own way -- which turned out to be nothing like Michael Jordan's style. "You don't have to be anybody but yourself," Curry explained."There are a lot of different ways that leadership presents itself. I feel like I have a blend of a couple factors where I try to lead by example, like putting in the most time, having the hardest work ethic, and showing people what it means to be committed to winning and to doing everything you can to get better every single year and not settling.
