How is Stephen Curry associated with Cameron Brink?
If you’re wondering about Steph’s presence at a Cardinals game, this isn’t the first time he was court-side to support Cameron Brink. Last month, he was spotted with Ayesha Curry at a Cardinals game, along with Brink’s parents.
This time, he was spotted at the Battle of the Bay with his mother, Sonya Curry.
How is Steph associated with the Stanford star? Well, it goes to the previous generation. Steph’s mom Sonya and Cameron’s mom Shelly were roommates at Virginia Tech. Their future husbands, Dell Curry and Greg Brink, were basketball players on the college team and lived in the men’s dorms. Even after graduation, the families stayed close.
Steph is Cameron’s god-brother. She witnessed him during his Sweet 16 run at Davidson and has learned much from him. She’s also seen around the house often, interacting and playing with the kids.
Steph met Jayda Curry, swapped jerseys
Last year, Stephen Curry invited Jayda Curry to the Warriors’ training facility after they trashed the Mavericks 130-92. It was a big moment for Jayda, who said, “Now my life’s complete.”
Today, watching Jayda take on his god-sister, Steph had to pick sides, and it wouldn’t have been easy. After the game, Steph visited the Golden Bears locker room, where Jayda gave him a #30 jersey(according to San Diego Union-Tribune).
