Stephen Curry Parents
Stephen Curry's parents are Dell Curry and Sonya Curry. Long before Stephen was making his mark on the NBA, his father Dell Curry was already a player in the professional league playing with teams such as Utah Jazz, Charlotte Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks, and the Toronto Raptors. Although Dell Curry was not one of the major stars in the league back then, he was still a useful player to have on the team, especially off the bench. He was aptly named the 6th Man of the Year in 1994.
Dell Curry's contributions to teams coming off the bench were well appreciated and his best time came when he played for the Hornets from 1988 to 1998. Curry Sr. was also one of the best shooters in the league, a trait he has no doubt passed down to his son Steph. Overall, throughout the 1,083 games he played in the NBA, Dell Curry averaged 11.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. He also shot 45.7 percent from the field, and 40.2 percent from beyond the arc while being a tremendous 84.3 percent shooter from the free-throw line. Although Dell Curry's 16-year NBA journey came to an end in 2002 without a Championship, he laid down the path for his sons to follow in the future. Today, both of his sons, Stephen and Seth are NBA players carving out their own identities.
Sonya Curry who was born in Virginia, also had athletic genes which she has handed down to her children. She used to play sports such as volleyball, track and field, and basketball in high school. Amongst all the sports she played, Sonya Curry was one of Virginia Tech's best volleyball players.
However, she did not pursue a career in sports like her husband, but instead, opted to take the educational route. She passed out of Virginia Tech University with a degree in Education and currently works as an educator. In fact, she is the owner and president of Montessori School located in Charlotte, North Carolina established by her and Dell Curry.
Stephen Curry Siblings
Stephen Curry is the eldest of three siblings. He has one younger brother named Seth and a younger sister named Sydel.
Stephen's younger brother Seth has also followed his father and brother into the professional basketball world. Although not as successful as his older brother, Seth Curry is progressing towards a better career. Standing just 6 feet 1 inch tall, the younger Curry has bounced around the league with several teams and is currently with the Dallas Mavericks playing at the 1 or the 2.
Unlike his older brother, Stephen, who is already a four-time NBA Champion, Seth's career has not had a high level of impact. He also has not won an NBA Championship, but at 34 years of age, he still has a few good years left before he hangs up his shoes.
Sydel Curry was born in 1994 as the youngest sibling in the Curry household. Even though Sydel has not followed her brothers into the professional world of sports, she too, like her mother was a volleyball player at Elon University from 2014 to 2016. Things were not easy for her as every time her abilities were underestimated due to the big shoes she was trying to fill as part of the Curry family. Yet, she did win the MVP of her team in 2016 but later retired from the game in 2017 following an injury.
Sydel is currently an advocate for mental health and a content creator having worked various jobs. She is married to basketball player Damion Lee and is a mother of two beautiful children.
