Richard Jefferson
The Young Man and the Three
The Power of Magic
"When he was saying he was dealing with stress, I believe him. That's a lot to be thrown at," Steph says of his former teammate. "I think that's the part that hurt me because I want that for him and I love this game." 'We're not here if it's not because of magic Johnson,' Curry adds.
