Lately, the Curry brothers have become two of the most popular siblings in professional sports. With Steph becoming one of the greatest shooters of all time, the spotlight has been on him and everyone around him. That shouldn't discredit Seth, though, who's been a phenomenal role player and become more valuable recently.
The popularity of the brothers really evolved last season when the two competed against each other in the Western Conference Finals. A lot of fans were tired of watching the Warriors in the NBA Finals and loved everything about that Trail Blazers team. Unfortunately, Golden State was too tough of a task for Portland to complete.
With the two brothers being so famous, there's a lot that fans know about them. However, there's also a lot that fans forget about them. It's easy to pay attention to what's happening recently and forgetting about what has happened in the past.
19 Their Sister, Sydel, Played College Volleyball
The athletic genes were there for all of the Curry siblings, as their young sister, Sydel, played college volleyball at Elon University. Now she's 25-years old and engaged, but there was a time when she was young playing collegiate athletics. Also, you can't forget that it's not just Seth and Steph in the family.
18 Seth Is Married To Doc Rivers' Daughter
The Curry family's connection to sports stretches outside the bloodline, as Seth is married to the Doc Rivers' daughter, Callie. The two just got married in September in Malibu. Luckily, it won't be too awkward considering neither Curry brother plays for the Clippers. However, there's probably a lot of trash-talking at the dinner table after certain games.
17 Seth Went To The More Prominent School
Watching both of the Curry brothers, you would've never expected that Seth went to the more prominent school. Steph went to a smaller school at Davidson College. Seth actually transferred a few times, starting at Charlotte Christian School, then going to Liberty University before finally attending Duke. It took some time but he made it.
16 They Were Huge Movie Fans As Kids
As kids, the Curry brothers loved movies. It was revealed that Steph's favorite movies are The Princess Diaries and A Walk To Remember. According to their younger sister, Steph has a thing for chick flicks. It's funny that their family has a sense of humor to mess with each other, and also clearly have a good relationship.
15 Steph Starred In A Burger King Commercial As A Kid
Steph Curry's days as a celebrity began way before basketball came into his life. When he was a little kid, he actually starred in a Burger King commercial. He wasn't afraid of jumping on television and helping promote those burgers. It would be interesting to hear his thoughts now on Burger King.
14 Their Father Was An NBA Player
The Curry brothers were bound to become athletes, as their father, Dell Curry, is a former NBA player. He spent 16 seasons in the NBA, playing the majority of his career in Charlotte. Looking back at that Burger King commercial, he's probably a big reason why Steph got the opportunity. It was in the blood.
13 Steph Didn't Receive A Scholarship From Any Major D1 Program
When it's all said and done, Steph Curry will probably go down as one of the best shooters in NBA history. As great as he is, he didn't receive one scholarship offer from a major D1 program. To think someone that talented and that good didn't receive a single offer is unreal. Instead, Steph played at Davidson College where he led them into March Madness.
12 Seth Always Blamed Steph For Cheating When They Were Younger
Let's be real, a lot of kids blame someone else for cheating when they're younger if they lose. We just don't know how to deal with losing, so sometimes putting the blame on someone else for cheating was easier. Seth did this a lot as a kid, as he got so frustrated with Steph always winning as a child.
11 They Wear No. 30 To Honor Their Dad
When Seth was in Portland he wore no. 31, but they both currently wear no. 30 to honor their father. Dell Curry wore no. 30 when he was in Charlotte, so it was only right that his two sons continued that legacy with the same number. It helps now that Seth is in Dallas to wear that number.
10 Steph's Real First Name Is Actually Wardell
What would you think if Steph's first name isn't actually Stephen? Well, it's not. It's actually Wardell. His legal name is Wardell Stephen Curry II. He's a junior to his father, as he also had the same name, but decided to use Dell as his basketball name. Most people forgot this because you're so used to using their basketball names.
