Stephen Curry says superstar athletes never find living in a bubble 'normal'

Stephen Curry has been famous for a while, but starting about 2015, it became something wholly different. Curry was born the son of an NBA player, and even if Dell Curry was never an All-Star, his childhood life was not like that of other kids. He shot around on NBA courts, for example.

When his coach, Steve Kerr, apologized last week for using a certain profanity in cursing an official, Curry commented that having your every word caught on camera was part of the "give and take" of being in professional sports. I asked Curry in his pregame availability with media before the Warriors' win over Denver if he had ever become accustomed to living life in a bubble.

"I don't think it's anything you ever find normal on a day-to-day basis," Curry said, "but you find ways to cope with it. You manufacture some sort of privacy outside of the basketball arena. Because if you're not on camera you come across fans all across your daily life, you're going out doing stuff, you're going out to eat, you're going to the mall, whatever the case may be.

"You find different ways to anticipate that, and show your personality in those situations. It's a pretty cool interaction between you and the fans, but you also want to have some sense of normalcy and some sense of privacy. It's hard nowadays."
