Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry has had one of the most illustrious careers in the NBA and a female NCAA star might have played a huge role in his success. Curry’s rise to stardom hasn’t been easy. Adapting to the league during his initial days in the league and transitioning from college was challenging. All he needed was to put in the hard work and believe. Interestingly, he did get some motivation which instilled the confidence he so desperately needed.

He received it from a very unlikely source. NCAA star Cameron Brink touted to be the next big thing in the WNBA, motivated Steph to believe in himself, and from then on, there was no stopping Steph.

It is not only the hard work and the skills which are essential to perform in games. Players also need to have the motivation and the drive to push themselves harder. Safe to say, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry got that drive at the right moment of his career.

21-year-old NCAA sensation Cameron Brink, while she was only 8 years old, had a little chat with Curry. She told him that if he believed in himself, he could be somebody.
