Watch: Stephen Curry's Davidson coach uses a variety of examples to impart life lessons to Curry Camp attendees
Stephen Curry has become one of the best NBA players in the league right now, thanks to his excellent upbringing in college playing for the Davidson Wildcats.
Still having strong connections with the people who helped build his career, Bob McKillop, Curry's college coach, was in attendance during his basketball camp.
As seen in the video of Slam Magazine, the Wildcats coach was crumpling money, stepped on it, and showed it to their campers if they still wanted it.
Proving a point, McKillop then revealed the lesson to be learned in the exercise.
"You see that is what you guys got to understand. Don't let anybody take your value," said McKillop. "You are worth... a lot! You are worth, not money, but you are worth a lot as a human being. Don't let anyone disrespect you, crumple you up, step on you-- you are still worth it. Don't let anybody take your worth."
