Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors might have the confidence to put up phenomenal numbers while millions are watching him, however, he wasn’t always this confident.

While Steph was still in college, he was star-struck when he saw two of the biggest women sporting sensations of that time. Danica Patrick and Annika Sorenstam met a young Curry in the hotel elevator.

They were all nominated for the ESPY awards when the meeting between them happened. Curry instantly recognized them and he was shy to even talk to them.

Curry told, “Here are two great-looking ladies I’d seen on TV. But I started stuttering because I was all nervous. My dad was laughing at me.”
