Steph Curry Shares Powerful Bob McKillop Message That Left Lasting Impact on Him

Stephen Curry’s story is one of the most remarkable in recent NBA history. It may not have unfolded in the way it has without the unwavering belief of one key figure: former Davidson coach Bobby McKillop.

The Warriors superstar is the subject of Stephen Curry: Underrated, a documentary by director Peter Nicks and producers Ryan Coogler and Erick Peyton, which is now available for streaming on Apple TV+. In conjunction with the release, Curry appeared on Sunday’s episode of Coogler’s In Proximity podcast with the creators of the documentary to discuss the themes of the film.

When asked by Coogler about the figure whose belief most helped him overcome self-doubt during his basketball career, Curry shared a powerful message that McKillop gave him while at Davidson.
