Quotes by Stephen Curry

To win MVP was a dream come true for sure, but there are guys who have done this multiple times.

I hope to play until I'm, like, 38 or something, and that's a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family's part.

I shoot the ball so well that sometimes you fall in love with it and think it'll get you out of certain situations.

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

I'm just blessed, man, to be able to represent solidarity with the small schools I went to.

People have told me, 'You shouldn't bring your daughter onto the podium, 'cause it's the workplace,' and things like that. But I'm not gonna really listen to that. I'm gonna do what I think is fun for me and my family, and everything'll be all right.

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.

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.

Water is my drink.

The way I try to represent my family and coaches, I think all are characteristics the league aspires to portray. That's just who I am.

My dad has kind of been the standard for me, he played 16 years in the league, and since I've been in the league, every year that I go through and deal with the scratches, the bumps and bruises, just the grind that it is to go through one NBA season.

Obviously everybody, if you're playing in the league, you've got to have somewhat of an ego about how you play the game.

You learn that there's no right way to do it, no wrong way to do it. It's just what you feel comfortable with, to trust that, and don't let anybody box you in to a certain style of parenting or make you feel a certain way about what your kids do.

Every step of the way I think you learn something that makes you a better player, and all those lessons really come out when it matters the most in a championship.

Each game is an opportunity to be on a great stage and be a witness for Christ. When I step on the floor, people should know who I represent, who I believe in.

For me, when you are have people wondering what is next, what is coming out, you are on the right track.

I liked school and was a bit of an all-rounder academically, I struggled with music. I can't hold a note when singing and abandoned any notion of a career in music after barely scraping a pass in grade 2 piano.

I struggle off the tee. If I can hit my driver straight, then I'm usually playing well.

In a game, there are so many different variables that are thrown at you -- the defense, where your teammates are, how fast your body's moving, and you have to be in control of all those decisions.

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.

A lot more variables in golf. But the biggest thing is like just routine. Like I think that's the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players, is for me I really rely on my routine every single day when I get ready for games and how I prepare.

I try to do the fancy things out there by going with both hands, making crossover moves, and having a certain creativity and flair to my game.

I'm not a daily coffee guy at all, or energy drinks or anything like that.

I still have a Lydia Ko-signed golf ball in my sock drawer that I'll keep for a while.

I have much less confidence on the greens than I do on the court. Everybody asks like if putting is like shooting free throws. Like that six-footer for par or something like that. It has a very similar kind of mindset.

I do a little sign on the court every time i make a shot or a good pass and i pound my chest and point to the sky -- it symbolizes that i have a heart for God. It's something that my mom and I came up with in college and I do it every time I step on the floor as a reminder of who i'm playing for.

Basketball was mine, and that's what's carried me to this point.

This was an unbelievable experience.

All 14 guys on the team have sacrificed something to get to this point.

I can speak volumes about the guy sitting next to me. You look at his stat line tonight, he had a lot of foul trouble and didn't really get going, but when he was in there, he was defending. He was playing physical, and he was doing everything he could to help us win.

Every decision he made, I think everybody bought into it. Whether you understood it or not, you bought into it. Because he's a champion. He's won five of these or something like that, so you've got to trust a guy that's been here before and his view for our team.

We want to get another one.

It's all about winning. Stats really don't matter, I mean, guys have great series and all that, and people take notice and take their place in history with those stats and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, it's all about winning and what you can do to help your team get to that point.

Obviously he deserved that Finals MVP award. He is a great talent and he is a huge reason why we are celebrating.

If it's sports and women's golf, men's golf, and it's on TV, I'm watching it. I watched those ladies do what they do at such a high level, and she's obviously a big basketball fan and a fan of ours, too. So it was cool to have that interaction.

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

When you get out in the field, it's just like any other game. You want to be the same player, the same team that has gotten them to that point. I don't think you have to do anything special. Just be yourself and allow all the time you put in that take over and get the job done.

Success comes after you conquer your biggest obstacles and hurdles.

We overload in our workouts so that the game slows down in real life. It helps you become a smarter basketball player.

I have a bet with my mom that involves a little money, and if I have too many turnovers, she gets in my pocket. I'm afraid of that for sure.

I learned how quickly I actually released my shot off the dribble. I know that's something I work on, and really use in games, but I didn't know exactly how quick it was, down to like the millisecond.

I'm 6'3 and 185 pounds on a good day, so I probably relate more to the casual fan who watches the game and is not super athletic, not this crazy monster of physical stature.

Success is not an accident, success is actually a choice.

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

I'm very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.

To be able to finish opportunities that I do get in the paint, that makes a difference.

I never looked at my mantel and envisioned an MVP trophy sitting there. This is pretty crazy.

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

FaceTime helps me a lot. I feel like I'm at home even though I'm not.

I've taken countless shots in my life, so you know the ones when you're in rhythm, with a perfect release, and it's on track, that it's going in.

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

We're not going to go 82-0 and blow everybody out. We are going to be challenged.

We're going to have to work. We're going to have to play well. Nothing will be given to us.

I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.

I don't like people looking at someone else's image.

I'm blessed to have such a tight-knit family that we can talk about anything. Whether we talk frequently or not, since we're on separate ends of the country, there are a lot of moving parts, and we always stay tight and find that center ground that keeps us together.

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.
