Steph Curry just wants to be the same emo kid you are
There are some things that money and fame (and maybe a dash of NIMBYism) apparently can’t touch. For Steph Curry, that’s apparently the emo kid within him, the one that is sure society and the people he knows doesn’t get him. The vapidness around him apparently sickens him, or it did, because…...
