Basketball superstar Stephen Curry is well-known for his deep love for his family, consistently prioritizing them over all his other personal and professional commitments.
The four-time NBA Champion and two-time Most Valuable Player is the devoted husband to Ayesha Curry and the proud father of three beautiful children: daughters Riley Curry and Ryan Curry, and son Canon Curry.
Ayesha Curry shows off son Canon walking in father Stephen Curry’s footsteps
In a video shared by the Warriors’ superstar’s wife, Ayesha on Instagram, Curry’s five-year-old son Canon is seen striding his golf club just like his father, Stephen Curry. Curry has previously mentioned how his family has a mix of talents with each of his kids having different talents, each to their own.
The three-point specialist has said that his oldest daughter is pursuing Volleyball and his younger daughter has taken to dance, while his son has yet to figure out what to pursue. Ayesha’s latest Instagram story may be a revelation of what Curry’s son might be into as we see Canon emulate his father, striding the golf club far and beyond. While the sniper would love to see his kids dribble the basketball, he has suggested that he doesn’t look to force his kids into the basketball world.
Curry said, “We’re all backyard sports right now. Nothing too organized. It’s more just confidence building and their ability to find joy in everything they do. I’m just trying to make sure that whatever they do, they’re having fun.”
On multiple occasions, the sharpshooter shares the court with his family to commemorate the star’s basketball achievements and victories. Years ago in 2015, Stephen Curry was joined by his young daughter Riley in an interview and stole everyone’s attention with her charm and antiques.
Stephen Curry’s influence on his kids
Through his busy schedules and life away from home, Curry finds time for his kids in their important events. He is well-known around the league to put his family first in all situations, no matter what. Curry influences his children with his competitive mindset.
In his documentary, Stephen Curry: Underrated, fans get to see how the same mentality was passed onto Steph by his father and Charlotte Hornets legend Dell Curry, who empowered his son with “the ability to have the space to commit myself to my passion”.
Curry’s ability to find a balance between his lifestyle as a professional athlete and as a father is one of the strongest lessons he imparts to his children. His never-give-up attitude in the face of defeats and painful injuries is another aspect of his personality that his children have taken in their day-to-day life.
Curry’s Underrated documentary shows how the NBA legend imparts life principles to his kids, based on what his parents taught him and also based on his life experiences. Perhaps, this could be an opportunity for Curry’s kids to see how their father, Stephen Curry rises in the face of adversity and criticism.
