“Pretty Sure My Dad Cried”: Steph Curry’s Sister Sydel Guesses How Dell Curry Reacted to Seth Winning 3-Point Percentage Title

Seth Curry made history this season by winning the three-point percentage title. He and his father, Dell Curry, have become the only father-son duo to win the award, which happens to be one of those rarest things Steph Curry has not won in his illustrious career so far.

Seth clocked in at 45.6% from beyond the arc this past season with the Charlotte Hornets. The figure put him just ahead of Zach Lavine’s 44% for best in the NBA. Back in 1999, Dell led the NBA with 47% shooting from three with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Seth and Steph’s sister, Sydel, celebrated this momentous Curry family moment in the latest episode of her podcast with Cameron Brink. She shouted out to her brother and father, expressing how “special” the moment is for everyone.

“Gotta give a shoutout to the fam. The regular season for the NBA just ended… And Seth, my brother, and my dad are the first father-son duo to win the NBA three-point percentage title in the regular season,” said Sydel.

“So, snaps to them. I mean, that’s like huge, that’s really special. Because you’ll probably never see that again,” she added.

Brink chipped in, pointing out the percentages, and was in awe of her god-brother’s shooting ability. The LA Sparks forward wished she could shoot that efficiently from three. Sydel then changed the tune of the conversation, bringing in the emotional side.

“I’m pretty sure my dad probably cried, like whenever that happened,” Sydel shared, which Brink thought was cute. “Yeah, real softies over there. Shout-out to Seth.”

Brink then congratulated the two on their accomplishment and asked if she could have some of those genes passed to her shooting ability. She was only a 30% career three-point shooter in college. So Brink does have a long way to go before reaching the heights of Dell and Seth.

How Dell and Steph reacted to Seth’s achievement

Of course, Seth’s father and brother took to social media to celebrate the news. Dell congratulated his “twin” son, while Steph jokingly messed with his brother.

“You’re my son, my golfing buddy, but most importantly, my friend,” Dell said. “Congratulations, number 40, my three-point percentage champion twin.”

Steph, on the other hand, made sure to include a fun tidbit in his congratulatory statement, further proving that sibling rivalry never takes a day off.

“You got the record, but you’re only as good as your last game,” he said. “If I remember correctly, the last time we played horse, I beat you.”

But Steph would surely be proud to see his brother win an award of this sort. Their mother, Sonya Curry, also took to her Instagram to post a reaction of her own.

All in all, it’s a cool accomplishment that Seth achieved. And like Sydel pointed out, one has to wonder if any other father-son duo will ever be able to replicate it.

Steph is known to be the King of 3-pointers in the NBA, being the first player in history to score 4,000 of them. He achieved that feat last month. However, he has never led the league in the three-point percentage category, and it is unlikely that he will win it at this stage of his career.

So the father-son record can’t come from the Golden State Warriors legend’s kids. At least from recent seasons, it would have to come from the likes of Seth, Grayson Allen, and Luke Kennard’s children.
