The young man continued by saying that Curry’s character is unchanging, no matter the circumstances.

Kuminga emphasized that Curry is a parent first and foremost, and that this fact informs how he acts in every circumstance.
“He comes to the gym-he’s a parent first. He comes to the gym, the same way he act at home, same way he act on the floor, same way he act at a practice. He don’t get into any problem. He speak to everybody.” Kuminga added.

He explained that Curry’s personality is more than just ‘some guy who hits threes’; rather, ‘He’s [Curry] gonna start a conversation even if you don’t want to. He’s gonna come find you and talk to you. So, that’s a lot of things that people don’t see behind the scenes. Because all they see is him hitting threes and stuff like that.’
Kuminga added, ‘He is the best human being I’ve ever really been around.’ Not only was Stephen Curry an exceptional basketball player in Kuminga’s eyes, but he was also the nicest person he had ever met. He admitted that playing with Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green—all of whom will be inducted into the Hall of Fame—had a significant impact on his game and motivated him to adopt Curry’s unmatched off-court approach.
