NBA Player Steph Curry Admits to Having Impostor Syndrome

The 37-year-old basketball player asserted that he is still “human like everybody” and occasionally has self-doubt despite being a four-time NBA champion, two-time NBA MVP, NBA Finals MVP, and two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP.

He said to CNBC: “Like everyone else, I’m a human. There are moments when you doubt yourself or experience impostor syndrome. “At times, yeah,” he added when asked if he suffers from impostor syndrome.

But according to Steph, who is married to TV chef Ayesha Curry and has a 12-month-old Caius, Riley 12, Ryan, 9, Canon, 6, and Riley 12, his concept of “impostor syndrome” is more of a concern about whether he is accomplishing enough for his loved ones and if he is reaching his full potential.

“The idea is, ‘Are you doing everything you can to take care of people that are relying on you?'” he explained. Are you reaching your greatest potential in every one of the areas I have set out to accomplish?

When it comes to her own profession, which has included launching “Ayesha’s Home Kitchen” on FoodNetwork, acting, and most recently costarring with Lindsay Lohan in “Irish Wish,” Ayesha has previously acknowledged that she has similar challenges.

“[Steph] is always there to encourage me, remind me, uplift me, and be like, ‘Hey, what do you need today?'” she said to People, referring to her awful imposter syndrome. In that sense, he serves as a type of sounding board for me and is always there.

At the time, Steph was advertising her skincare line and mentioned that the “beautiful ingredients” from her family’s home country of Jamaica served as inspiration for everything.
