Stephen Curry - What A Time To Be Alive

This year, Warriors guard Stephen Curry became an NBA MVP, a Champion, an international phenom, a friend of the President and a father to a second child. Not too shabby.

Stares abound, everywhere he goes. Today is no different.

“Media day is always crazy, but I’ve never experienced it as the reigning champs,” Stephen Curry says with a laugh. “As I sit on the hone right now there are 10 cameras pointed at me off the corners of the court.”

That’s what happens when you win regular-season MVP and the NBA title in the same season. You get 10 cameras in your face at all times, plus an international tour with the trophy, appearances on every late night talk show, sneaker releases, video game parties,award shows and hundreds of media requests every day. Oh, and his second daughter, Ryan,was born over the summer, too.

“From the time last August when we won the World Championship for "Team USA ’til June 16 celebrating the Finals, a lot has happened,” Curry says. It’s quite the understatement. “On and off the court, expanding my family too this summer with a new daughter, so, like, all this stuff is happening at once. I just try to stay appreciative and thankful for all the good stuff that’s going on. Obviously there’s a lot of hard work that goes into it,but it’s been a special year. I’ll remember it for a long time.”
