The Curry family has earned a reputation as one that produces legends. It all started with Dell Curry, Sonya Curry, and their three children, Stephen, Seth, and Sydel. Each one has carved out their own specialty in sports. But Steph took the family legacy to another height. An unparalleled legacy that will likely exist for a very long time.
Certainly, this was a moment his father will be very proud of. And it would have given Steph’s fans a lifetime memory. In the third quarter of the game, Stephen Curry dropped 28 points and the joy of the Hornets supporters fade away. Several times, Curry mentioned the influence his mother Sonya has had on his life. But he never failed to honor his father’s learnings.
The Curry family norm was very famous. Steph and his siblings were expected to adhere to all the rules, and if they did not, Dell and Sonya made sure they were punished. They had to stick to a strict training schedule every day. And then the rest, as they say, is history.
