The Curry family is often known as the first family of the NBA. But there has not been smooth sailing for the most famous family of the NBA.

It has been around a couple now since Steph Curry’s parents announced their apparent separation. However, they still remained in contact and on good terms. Recently their equation has changed for the worse. Not only did the couple file for divorce, but they also accused each other of infidelity.
