Stephen Curry is undoubtedly considered the greatest shooter of all time. The Golden State Warriors guard has led his team to four NBA titles, has earned two NBA MVP awards and one Finals MVP. Known for his exceptional three-point shooting, Curry holds nearly every major three-point record. At 36, he still has plenty left in the tank for the upcoming years and is eyeing a gold medal in the Olympics this summer in Paris.
Curry's remarkable talent was inspired by his father, Dell Curry, a former NBA player. Dell had a distinguished 16-year career in the league, predominantly with the Charlotte Hornets. He averaged 11.7 points per game and was known for his three-point shooting, boasting a career percentage of 40.2%. Dell was a pivotal sixth man for the Hornets and won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award in 1994. His influence on Stephen is evident, as Dell's shooting prowess and work ethic were key factors in Stephen's development
Marc J. Spears, a senior NBA writer for ESPN, recently announced that Stephen and Dell Curry will launch a new podcast titled "Heat Check," debuting on Thursday, June 13. This move places Stephen alongside other NBA stars like Draymond Green,Paul George, Josh Hart, and LeBron James, who have also ventured into podcasting. This new platform might spark a fresh rivalry with LeBron, but this time, it will be behind the microphones
The Curry family's influence extends beyond the basketball court, with both Stephen and Dell actively engaging in various philanthropic efforts. Stephen is known for his involvement in community service, including his work with Nothing But Nets, a campaign to fight malaria. Additionally, the Curry family supports the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, which they co-founded to promote healthy living and education for children in underserved communities.
