NBA star Steph Curry says he struggles with impostor syndrome
Steph Curry struggles with impostor syndrome.
The 37-year-old basketball player is a four-time NBA champion, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), an NBA Finals MVP, and a two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP but insisted that he is still "human like everybody" so sometimes has moments of self-doubt.
He told CNBC: "I'm human like everybody.
"You have doubts about yourself, or you have impostor syndrome at times."
Asked if he has impostor syndrome, he added: "At times, yeah."
However, Steph - who is married to TV chef Ayesha Curry and has Riley 12, Ryan, nine, Canon, six, and 12-mont-old Caius with her - explained that his idea of "impostor syndrome" is more of a worry that he is doing enough for his loved ones, and if he is maximsing his full potential.
He said: "It's an idea of, 'Are you doing everything you can to take care of people that are relying on you?'
'Are you fulfilling your full potential in all different areas that I've set out to do?"
Ayesha previously revealed that she has the same struggles when it comes to her own career, which has seen her launch 'Ayesha's Home Kitchen' on FoodNetwork, but has also worked as an actress and recently starred alongside Lindsay Lohan in 'Irish Wish'.
She told People: "I have terrible imposter syndrome, and [Steph] is always there to encourage me, remind me, uplift me, me, and be like, 'Hey, what do you need today?' So from that perspective, he's always there and kind of my sounding board.
At the time , Steph was promoting her skincare venture and noted that it all took inspiration from "beautiful ingredients" found in her family's native Jamaica.
She said: "I felt like what you put in your body you can put on your body, and there has to be some sort of efficacy from all of these beautiful ingredients that come from where my family's from in Jamaica, and so we started to do a deep dive and quickly realized there are a lot of ingredients that aren't mass market right now that are really effective for the skin."

0.3 seconds: NBA Finals begin with epic buzzer beater
Tyrese Haliburton and the never-say-die Indiana Pacers have pulled off yet another last-second comeback, this time on the NBA's biggest stage. Haliburton's 21-foot jumper with 0.3 seconds left gave Indiana their first and only lead of the game as the Pacers stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-110 in game one of the NBA Finals after a comeback for the ages. "Man, basketball's fun," Haliburton said on Thursday night (local time). "Winning is fun." Especially like this. The Pacers turned the ball over 25 times, trailed by 15 points in the fourth quarter against a team with the best home record in the NBA and had no answers for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — the NBA MVP who led all scorers with 38 points. But they had the league's new Mr. Big Shot, who has now had one of these moments in every series the Pacers have played in these playoffs. On April 29, Indiana trailed Milwaukee 118-111 with 34.6 seconds left in overtime. Haliburton scored with 1.4 seconds remaining and the Pacers won 119-118. On May 6, Indiana trailed Cleveland 119-112 with 48 seconds left and won 120-119. Haliburton got the game-winner with 1.1 seconds to play. On May 21, Indiana trailed New York 121-112 with 51.1 seconds left in regulation. Haliburton sent it to overtime on a jumper with no time on the clock; Indiana won 138-135. "We've had lots of experience in these kinds of games," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. The Pacers were down by 15 with 9:42 left, their rally the biggest in the fourth quarter of a finals game since Dallas also came from 15 down to beat Miami on June 2, 2011. Carlisle coached those Mavericks. And, well, here he is again. "That's a really good team," Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault said. "Credit them for not only tonight but their run. "They've had so many games like that that have seemed improbable. And they just play with a great spirit and they keep coming. They keep playing." Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 19 points. Obi Toppin scored 17, Myles Turner had 15, and Haliburton and Andrew Nembhard each had 14. Jalen Williams had 17 and Lu Dort scored 15 for Oklahoma City, which was 36-1 at home with 15-point leads this season. Game two is at Oklahoma City on Sunday night (local time). Oklahoma City led by 15 early in the fourth when Carlisle called time and subbed out all five players, seeking a spark. It worked. The Pacers outscored the Thunder 15-4 over the next 3:26 - getting within 98-94 on a 3 by Turner with 6:16 left. "We had control of the game for the most part," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "Now, it's a 48-minute game. And they teach you that lesson more than anyone else in the league - the hard way."
