00:00
Greg Kalski had said you could play pro golf.
00:01
If you decided to put your focus there,
00:03
do you think that's something you could do?
00:04
- I feel like I could get there,
00:06
but I also know it'd be a lot harder
00:09
than probably success in basketball for me.
00:12
- "Stefan Curry Underrated" is available exclusively
00:15
on Apple TV+.
00:17
I'm Robin Lundberg, joined by Steph Curry now.
00:19
And Steph, the movie, I saw you tweet out the link
00:22
for a couple of free months so people can check it out.
00:25
Does a really nice job taking us from Davidson to today.
00:28
And I remember living through those days
00:30
when you were underrated.
00:32
How do you feel about how you're evaluated now?
00:34
Or is there a part of you that still goes,
00:36
you know, 2023 Steph Curry's underrated
00:39
when you don't see yourself number one
00:40
on somebody's best players in the NBA list?
00:42
- Yeah, I guess the narrative or the specifics
00:47
of how my game is viewed has changed
00:50
with some of the success I've had
00:52
in over these last 14 years.
00:54
But I can still tap into that underrated mindset
00:57
that's, you know, kind of pushed me
01:01
to where I'm at right now.
01:02
And to be able to help, you know,
01:04
or be a part of this project and tell that story
01:06
of the origin of my journey, my career,
01:10
the formative years at Davidson.
01:13
And where that underrated, you know,
01:14
mindset really kind of cemented itself.
01:18
It's a special experience and opportunity.
01:20
I would love people to check it out.
01:23
And it's not just a sports or a basketball story.
01:26
I think there's things in there for people
01:27
from all walks of life.
01:29
And like you said, the biggest thing is
01:31
I still keep that underrated DNA
01:33
and I can tap into it even for this outcome here
01:36
to find something to motivate me
01:38
for hopefully some more success ahead.
01:42
- All right, in the spirit of that,
01:43
I'm gonna play a quick overrated, underrated game.
01:45
Rapid Fire, I'm gonna throw some things at you.
01:47
You tell me if they're overrated or underrated.
01:50
We'll start with, I saw you at the show, Drake.
01:54
- Oh, underrated.
01:55
Catalog is insane.
01:56
Performance is insane.
01:58
- Once he said Steph Curry with the shot,
02:00
I knew you'd say that.
02:01
NBA mid-season tournament. - Oh, absolutely.
02:03
I'm gonna say underrated until otherwise noted
02:12
'cause I don't even know what to expect
02:14
with this first year.
02:16
- Bryce Young.
02:16
- Oh, underrated.
02:22
I can't wait to see him take this Panther organization
02:26
to new heights, baby.
02:27
Let's go, keep pounding.
02:29
- Draymond Green's podcast.
02:31
- It's overrated when I'm not on it.
02:36
Let's put it that way.
02:37
- The Steph-LeBron rivalry.
02:40
- I mean, underrated in the sense of
02:48
it's gonna be really hard to find
02:51
two teams going four years in a row in the finals
02:56
just way out the way the NBA landscape is going.
02:59
So that'll go down in history as four amazing years.
03:04
- Is there one word you'd use to describe
03:06
your relationship with LeBron?
03:07
'Cause there is a scene in the movie
03:08
where he goes to watch you at Davidson.
03:10
I remember that part as well.
03:13
- Yeah, I mean, it's,
03:16
what's the only one word?
03:20
It's complex because you go from,
03:23
you know, me playing in the tournament,
03:26
him coming to watch,
03:27
to me coming in as a young rookie in the league
03:34
and him giving me advice on how to, you know,
03:36
get through some of the early struggles
03:38
that I was gonna go through as a player,
03:39
to, you know, the four finals appearances in a row
03:44
playing against each other,
03:46
to even last year,
03:48
what's seven, five, six years later,
03:52
we're playing in the playoffs again.
03:53
So it's,
03:54
he's a great dude, great friend,
03:58
great competitor, all the above,
04:01
but he, it's amazing to go back
04:04
and look at where it all started,
04:06
at Ford Field in Detroit in the Sweet 16 game.
04:10
- One more in the spirit of your hole-in-one the other day,
04:12
it started a big debate about,
04:14
well, you know, Rob Gronkowski had said
04:15
you could play pro golf.
04:16
If you decided to put your focus there,
04:18
do you think that's something you could do?
04:19
- It's something that I would be confident
04:21
I could work towards because that's the competitor in me,
04:25
but I say that with a caveat of complete and utter respect
04:29
for the professional golfers out there
04:31
that have dedicated their lives to it,
04:33
because I do understand how hard it would be.
04:36
And so both can be true.
04:39
I feel like I could get there,
04:40
but I also know it'd be a lot harder
04:44
than probably success in basketball for me.
04:46
- Stephen Curry, "Underrated" is out on Apple TV.
04:50
Plus anything else you wanna say
04:51
to people about the film, Steph?
04:54
- Just love that, hopefully they check it out,
04:56
and appreciative of the support I've had
04:58
throughout the years and know it has a little something
05:01
from everybody in it, so check it out.
05:04
- Appreciate the time, Steph.
05:05
- Thank you.
