As the 2025–26 NBA season gets underway, we’re joined by a very special guest: Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry. In Part 1 of his episode, Steph sits down with LeBron James and Steve Nash to unpack his basketball journey — his early origins, having a father in the NBA, rewiring his shooting mechanics and finding his footing in the NBA before becoming the greatest shooter to ever play the game.
The trio also talks about Steve Kerr's Warriors’ offense being inspired by FC Barcelona’s style of play, why former GM Bob Myers told Curry he needed to shoot 15 3-pointers a game, and the moment Steph realized he was influencing the younger generation of hoopers.
Presented by UNINTERRUPTED and Wondery.
