Is there such a thing as getting too hyped up before a game? Yes! In a post for espnWStephen Curry’s younger sister, Sydel, who plays D-I volleyball for Elon University, shared a story about the Golden State Warriors star point guard during high school when he got a little amped up before a game. 


Stephen looks calm, but he can get hyped up. A good example of that: In high school, Stephen and his team were in the locker room getting super hyped before a Christmas tournament game, jumping up and down, trying to get into it. The next thing I know, Stephen's in the back getting stitches right before the game starts. He jumped so high that he hit his forehead and busted it open.

If you have ever seen Steph after a big shot or moment, then you can definitely believe that this story is 100 percent true. To read the rest of Sydel's 6 Things You Should Know About My Brother, Steph Curry, click here
