With the new NBA season set to begin in October, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will be entering his 17th season. He believes his unwavering dedication and perseverance are what have allowed him to overcome numerous challenges and reach his current position.

In the 2024/25 NBA regular season, Stephen Curry played 70 games for the Golden State Warriors, averaging 24.5 points per game, 44.8 shooting percentage and 39.7% 3-point shooting percentage.

It is worth mentioning that although Stephen Curry is not as strong as other stars, he still responded to external doubts with his excellent shooting ability and won 4 NBA championships.

Stephen Curry shared in an interview, "I've experienced a lot of criticism and lack of playing time, which has driven me to keep working hard. My work ethic has become a superpower in a way because it's the only thing I can rely on."

"When I was 9 or 10 years old, I was always the last kid picked on the team, and I was the smallest kid on almost every team until I got to college."

Stephen Curry said, "For me, the process is the most fun part. The wins and losses and the results keep me going, but putting in the effort every day, constantly polishing the details and trying to master every process, that kind of feedback makes me smile and makes me feel better than I was a week ago."

As for his future goals, Stephen Curry, 37, said, "I think it's a completely intentional choice to remind myself that everything I do is a privilege."

"I've had those moments myself, and I've had to learn that. Everything feels hard at first, but you have to remind yourself that it's a privilege to be able to play basketball, go to school, and have a career. So when you leave, you have to be better than when you entered this league."
