Stephen Curry is one of the greatest NBA players ever. After the last season, he now has 4 NBA championships to his name. With the Warriors, he has made his own legacy. This last year was even more special because of what he had gone through with the Warriors in the last two years before the title-winning season. Stephen Curry is without a doubt the best shooter in the history of the NBA.

Both his mother and father have had a big role in his development as a player. Both of them played basketball in college. Moreover, Dell Curry is an NBA veteran himself. So being around people who were into the sport gave Steph the necessary push to take his talent towards greatness. But as far as his shooting is concerned, his mother Sonya Curry revealed the interesting story of how she helped him be the great shooter that he turned out to be.

“He actually had his mother shot,” Sonya shared the story. “From the hip. It was good form, but it was from the hip. So, going from being really successful at it, shooting threes, cause he was small, same thing with me. Being small in high school. So he was accurate with it, but it just wouldn’t suffice to the next level, with him being the size that he was. Then Dell took over from there.”
