Stephen Curry is an undisputed NBA superstar and one of the most elite players to ever play the game of basketball. It is always a treat to see Steph play the game and own the court. He revolutionized a whole generation with his shooting capabilities.

Curry has proven over the years how he can shoot from almost anywhere and score. He scores in important clutch times when his team needs it. And just feeds off of the responsibility of stepping up and pouncing on the opportunity to prove how good he is.

Perhaps one’s attitude and mindset come from the way one is raised and the people around him. The Curry family has been a constant support to Steph over the years and that strong mentality really reflects in his game. Steph is the son of Dell Curry who himself was an NBA veteran. He has always trained Steph to be fit and made him focus on things that are still helping him in his career. For example, Dell made Steph train his ankles to avoid long-term injuries.

Steph’s mother Sonya got real about how life changed when she and Dell married at a young age. She said, “Each stage different things fuel the marriage. There’s different types of commitments at different levels. First commitment was to the person, because you are in love. The second one, you are committed to the family. Cause you gotta build this and to some degree you are committed to kids. When you are going through bumpy times, you think a lot about kids. And the third part is ‘woah nobody’s here?’ It’s just us. He looks at me and goes, ‘you’re not that 18 years old that got married to me’. And I look at him and go, okay.” 

The ladies shared a laugh as they all related to how life changes with marriage.
