Former Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut says Stephen Curry turns to social media for inspiration when he's having a bad game.

Bogut, who played alongside Curry for five seasons, revealed on the latest episode of his "Rogue Bogues" podcast that his ex-teammate would check Twitter at halftime to see what people were saying about him.

"Steph's one of the elite as far as preparing for games," Bogut said. "He's one of the unique ones where he'll check his mentions at halftime when he has a bad half. It's kind of the craziest shit I ever saw. ... If he had a bad half, he would go on social media and then come out and drop 30."

Curry is averaging 28.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game this season and recently passed Reggie Miller for second place on the NBA's all-time list for made 3-pointers.
