The Curry family house can be considered as a den for sports stars. Every single person in the family has made their mark in the sports world. Parents Dell Curry and Sonya Curry set the bar high for their kids with careers in NBA and volleyball respectively. Stephen Curry and his brother Seth sure did succeed their parents’ expectations with their strong presence in the NBA world. However, when it comes to their daughter who once played basketball had to quit it because of particular reason in the childhood.

Steph’s sister Sydel instead played volley ball in her college, just like her mother. Importantly, Dell Curry considered her to be a better shooter of the ball. Nonetheless, she didn’t leave out basketball out of her life after the childhood story. The 28-year-old entrepreneur married Phoenix Suns player, Damion Lee. The couple recently welcomed their second child Daryn Alicia Lee into the world a few days back.
