Steph Curry Talks Mental Health Struggles Of Dealing With Impostor Syndrome & NBA Ownership Dreams
Source: Tim Warner / Getty Mental health awareness is essential for everyone, even if you're considered the best shooter in NBA history, a millionaire, and a solid family man with Ayesha Curry by your side. Steph Curry is revealing that he, too, gets caught up in his own thoughts sometimes, just like everyone else. The Golden State Warrior sat with CNBC , admitting, 'I'm human like everybody. You have doubts about yourself, or you have impostor syndrome at times.' While the four-time champion says basketball can still be a source of worry, it's often the business opportunities that come with it and supporting those around him. 'It's an idea of, 'Are you doing everything you can to take care of people that are relying on you?'' he said. 'Are you fulfilling your full potential in all the different areas that I've set out to do? Those are daily commitments, daily thoughts that you have to weave through.' Still with all that on his mind, he manages his gigs as president of Under Armour's Curry Brand, his own bourbon, the assistant GM of Basketball at his alma mater Davidson, all his business efforts folded under his post as CEO at Thirty Ink, while also leading the Warriors to playoff contention for over a decade. But he sees his time on the court as a way to get everything else off his mind, saying, 'Matching the God-given abilities and the work ethic and just being able to lose myself in the game, I think is a good formula.' Some of those ventures also veer off into philanthropy, like his nonprofit Eat. Learn. Play, which has raised nearly $100 million for Oakland schools, as well as his Underrated Golf Tour, which helps minorities get into golf. 'From a national perspective, a lot of the narrative is trying to peel back programs and opportunities that are allowing people to have just a fair shot and a fair chance,' he adds. 'Everything that we do and what I can control is about true equity.' Still, he's ready to fill up his plate more as his NBA career winds down, and he wouldn't mind having some ownership role in an NBA team. Curry will break down all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into his brand tonight at 9 p.m. on CNBC Sports' Curry Inc.: The Business of Stephen Curry.

Notre Dame commit, son of former UGA All-American visiting Georgia football
Four-star linebacker recruit Thomas Davis Jr., who has been committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish since November, is visiting the Georgia Bulldogs this weekend. Davis is the son of legendary Georgia football safety Thomas Davis Sr. Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia are the school that is most likely to flip Davis Jr. The Bulldogs recently extended a scholarship offer to Davis and have a strong pitch to make for the talented linebacker prospect. Advertisement Georgia has developed the linebacker position better than any other school in the country in recent years. UGA produced two linebackers as first-round picks in the 2025 NFL draft in Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams (arguably a defensive end) and has had nine linebackers (includes Williams and Robert Beal) selected over the past five NFL drafts. Georgia also helped develop Davis' father, Thomas Davis Sr., into a first-round draft pick during the Mark Richt era. Davis Sr. played safety at Georgia from 2002-2004, but changed positions to linebacker in the NFL and flourished. In 13 seasons with the Carolina Panthers, Davis Sr. played and made three Pro Bowl appearances and helped the Panthers reach the Super Bowl in 2015. At Georgia, he was selected to the All-SEC first team in 2003 and 2004 and earned a consensus All-American selection in 2004. Thomas Davis Jr. recruiting ranking Georgia football players Thomas Davis, No. 10, and Greg Blue, No. 17, celebrate their team's victory Davis Jr. has the talent to make a name for himself. He plays for Weddington High School, which is located in Matthews, North Carolina. Advertisement Davis Jr. is the No. 176 prospect in the class of 2026. He is the No. 11 linebacker in the nation and the No. 11 recruit in North Carolina. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker is a versatile athlete that runs track and plays basketball in addition to playing football. He's exactly the type of linebacker that Georgia inside linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann is looking for.

First case of measles reported in San Juan County
Jun. 3—State health officials announced on Tuesday that the measles outbreak has reached San Juan County, the seventh county in New Mexico to tally a confirmed case among its residents. The New Mexico Department of Health said in a news release that a child under the age of 4, who had received one dose of the vaccine, was diagnosed with measles in the county in the Four Corners. The child had contracted the virus on a domestic flight. The department also reported another measles case in Lea County — in an adult with an unknown vaccination history. Statewide, this brings the total number of children under the age of 4 with the disease to 24 and the total number of adults to 37. "Travel can increase the risk of exposure," said Dr. Miranda Durham, chief medical officer for the state Department of Health. "Whether you're traveling within the U.S. or abroad, before you go, make sure you're up-to-date on your vaccines." DOH warned that there may have been an exposure risk for anyone who was at the San Juan Regional Medical Center Emergency Room May 26 through 28, the center's Health Partners Pediatrics Clinic on Friday or the Nor-Lea Hobbs Medical Clinic on May 27. Since the measles outbreak, there has been a spike in vaccinations for the disease. Since Feb. 1, 32,296 doses of the MMR (mumps, measles and rubella) vaccination have been administered statewide, doubling the total number of vaccinations administered the previous year. Measles symptoms begin with a cough, runny nose and red eyes before progressing to a fever and rash. The San Juan County Public Health Office at 355 South Miller Avenue in Farmington provides a no-cost MMR vaccine, with no appointment necessary, weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. The Lea County Public Health Office in Hobbs, 1923 North Dal Paso Street, is providing MMR vaccinations during regular business hours from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m.
