Stephen Curry 2:08
I watched the whole thing. I mean, that's being kind. It was my first shot. I lost my mind, too. There's like a little small gallery behind that was following us. And so I knew the whole concept. I knew it was Bryson's a week before the Ryder Cup. I'm like, all right, it's go time. And it's the best, I think, best golf I've played in my life.

LeBron James 2:36
One of his drives said, and he got him on the drive. And Bryson, obviously this is what he does. Oh, I can tell in his voice. When they got up to the ball, he was like. I think that's your ball. He was like, oh, man, I outdrove him. Like, it was crazy. He didn't want to give it to me. I think one of the good parts, too, that I was watching, too, and you was – I think Bryson asked you a question like, who's your inspirations? Like, you know, obviously in the game that we all love.

LeBron James 3:03
Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, and you mentioned Steve and you mentioned Reggie, you know.

You know, it's funny that I'm sitting across from you talking about the life.
Stephen Curry 3:26

How does Stephen Curry define the connection between body mechanics and shooting efficiency?

Stephen Curry 3:40
It was my first time actually seeing him on the court and to the point of inspiration. Super intimidating. Just seeing him across, I still do some of your, when you're in the starting line, or the national anthem, the line, you just do like the little leg stuff. I still do it. I still do it. He was like, I was watching everything you did from across the court, but growing up, like, I knew, I was a pass first type of point guard. Yeah. Like, my dad had to actually tell me to shoot more. Bullshit. Nah. Call Dale Curry right now, and he'd tell you, they actually had to tell me to shoot more. He was like, no. Not in this house.
