Psychology Today describes impostor syndrome as when certain people “feel that they aren’t as competent… as others might think.” During an interview with CNBC, the Golden State Warriors star revealed that he also suffers from impostor syndrome.

Curry said that he still had doubts about whether he was doing enough for the people around him and whether he was able to reach his full potential.

"I'm human like everybody, you have doubts about yourself," Steph Curry said. "You have impostor syndrome at times, like you have an idea of 'you are doing everything you can to take care of people who are relying on you and fulfilling your full potential in areas that I have set out to do...those are thoughts that you can't get away from."

The Golden State star sat with CNBC for a sit-down interview. Steph Curry was asked about his plans after retirement.

He also added that the ownership would enable him to have a greater impact on the game.

"The idea of being a part of an ownership group and the right opportunity that allows me to have an impact on how a franchise should be operated... that's something I'm excited about pursuing," he added.

The conversation around NBA players pursuing ownership in the league is nothing new. NBA legend Michael Jordan is arguably the most impactful player in NBA history. He continued to make an impact in the league through ownership and now serves as a special contributor to NBC.

LA Lakers star and Curry's Olympic teammate LeBron James has been very vocal about being part of the ownership when he retires from the NBA. Perhaps, longtime fans of these NBA legends would find their solace in finding them near the sport.
