During an appearance on the ‘SmartLess‘ podcast, Curry spoke about his joy and calmness when he is on the court. He touched upon how he is still a little kid despite being in the league for 15 years. Furthermore, Curry discussed how if he ever loses that calmness and joy, that will be his last day on the court. He said, “If I ever lose that, then I know it will be time to quit.” 

Furthermore, Curry revealed that the work and business of the sport creeps in from time to time. He talked about how so much goes into putting a team together. In addition to this, he said, “The ups and downs of an 82-game schedule, the pressures of performing every single night.” However, the pure joy that he feels when he steps foot on the floor is what keeps him going and makes him feel alive.
