She played volleyball like her mother. However, she decided against following in her family’s footsteps. Sydel Cury is now an influencer and a mental health activist.
During an interview, she talked about growing up in a family full of sporting superstars. According to Sydel, she has been underestimated by people her whole life. In fact, they often credited all her success to the influence her family commanded.
Sydel revealed, “People underestimating me is pretty much my life, from the moment I started playing sports to now. I remember one of the first things I ever heard when I was playing volleyball is like, ‘you’re only here because of your family.'”
In spite of such comments, Sydel Curry always aspired to create her own identity separate from her family. In other words, she works hard to build a name of her own. She’s not interested in always being remembered as ‘Steph Curry’s sister.’
It is not only her brothers who are NBA stars. Sydel is married to Damion Lee of the Golden State Warriors. Apart from playing for Steph’s team, he happens to be a close friend of the four-time NBA champion.
