“I have an agreement with my mum.” Stephen Curry reveals that…

Warriors’ Stephen Curry hilariously spills on fear instilled by mom Sonya. Once upon a time, Stephen Curry made a punitive agreement with his mother Sonya that helped him stay alert during Golden State Warriors contests.

Back in 2015 the Warriors star revealed that if he committed more than three turnovers in a contest, that’s $100 towards Sonya above the threshold.

With Mother’s Day looming, Steph Curry was asked during the Warriors media session about the old agreement with his mom. The two-time MVP admitted that while the monetary aspect isn’t in play any longer, it’s the virtual reprimand that still keeps him on edge about his turnovers.

“I have an agreement with my mum.” Stephen Curry reveals that…

“The checks stopped cashing a couple of years ago but she still calls it out for sure. Thankfully she wasn’t at Game 2 because I would have gotten an earful after the game. But I think I’ve evolved outside of having to worry about a penalty for turnovers more so just the embarrassment of getting a text from mom. That’s still on her radar.

Steph Curry and his flamboyance have made him a fan favorite in the NBA. His craft has also made him one of the most marketable athletes in the world.

However, especially earlier in his career, Steph‘s decision-making and clumsiness on the ball was an oft highlighted flaw.

As a solution, his mother Sonya Curry came up with a master plan. She made a bet with him, wherein he has to pay her 100$ per turnover if he makes more than 3 in a game.

Steph took his mom on the bet and initially lost quite a lot of money. Starting in 2013, Sonya fleeced him for around 7600$ by the end of the 2014 season.

The highest Sonya made in a game counts up to $800 with Steph racking up a career-high 11 turnovers a game once.

Steph has steadied his handling and gotten the turnovers down since. Sonya Curry must probably find another bet to motivate her son and to get some money off him in the process.

From being an undersized guard with unpolished ball skills, Steph has come to be a perennial MVP candidate. While the turnover problem is far behind him, the story of Steph continues to attract eyeballs.

With his unlimited range, his craft on the ball has made him as potent an offensive weapon as ever. Steph has also bulked up and added defensive resilience to his game and become a serviceable defender too.

Steph still has a long way to go in his career. With the Warriors’ talent development and reputation, more championships being added to his resume cannot be ruled out.

Stephen Curry finished Game 2 with five turnovers, which would have awarded a couple of Benjamins for his mom if it were still in place. Perhaps the Warriors should look into revisiting the deal if it helps their superstar stay focused on taking care of the ball.
