Stephen Curry Once Told Neymar Jr. The Moment He Knew He Wanted To Be An NBA Star

The Dubs attracted other celebrities to watch their magnificence since they were the greatest show in basketball in 2018.

Former FC Barcelona star Neymar Jr was among the ones to come and witness their Finals dominance.

The Players Tribune organised a unique interview with the two superstars in the summer of 2018.

Stephen Curry was aware of what it was like to be a professional athlete growing up with a father who played in the NBA. Although he was aware of the attention and scrutiny that comes with playing the sport, his passion for it was far stronger.

Steph spoke first and responded to the interviewer's question about when the two realised they wanted to play for a job.

“I was six years old, playing in a rec league in North Carolina. And there was probably 15 people in the stands. There was a two-on-one fast break and I had the ball. And the defender came over to guard me.”

“And instead of like making normal a chest pass or bounce pass, or a regular layup, I like jumped in the air, and then did like this 360 behind-my-back pass. It was right on target, and my teammate, he laid it up. And all 15 fans in the crowd went crazy.”

“And, obviously, it was pretty muted. But that was the moment that my creativity kind of came out and I knew there was going to be that type of reaction. So, I knew at that point that basketball was fun for me and I loved to do it, so … that was it.”

Since Steph was just six years old, there has been the brilliance that we witness on the court now.
