All you need is faith in God – basketball star

Stephen Curry spoke of his decision to take his faith more seriously

Basketball superstar Stephen Curry, who was officially named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player this season, has spoken of his deep Christian faith.

“Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. But the truth is you really don’t,” Curry said.

“It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack or what you have too much of – all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.”

Curry, a Christian who plays for the Golden State Warriors, also spoke of his decision to take his faith more seriously.

“My parents had us in church every Sunday and every Wednesday. It was more of a tradition at that point, I didn’t have a personal relationship with the Lord until I went to the altar call one Sunday and the youth pastor told us to make a decision for ourselves,” Curry said.

 “It had to be a decision on our own, and that’s when I made it.”
