Boasting Sonya Curry’s Genes, Stephen Curry Shows Off Multi-Sport Skills

Having singlehandedly transformed the basketball scene around the world, Stephen Curry has left an indelible mark on the sport. Over the years, players and the younger generation have tried to emulate Curry’s charismatic plays. However, what sets Curry apart is his unique and inventive approach to basketball, making him one of the most successful players of the last decade. An embodiment of the same is his pre-game rituals, which not only showcase his childlike love for the game but also reflect his unwavering passion.

Adding to the list of his pregame routines, Curry recently introduced a new ritual for fans. This particular one, however, bears a subtle touch of Sonya Curry’s fondness for volleyball and blends Curry’s creative mischief.

Stephen Curry has a new pre-game addition

Ensuring fans got their money’s worth well even before tip-off, Stephen Curry added another stellar act into his pregame routines. Displaying impressive multi-sports skills, Curry hit a bounce pass in a volleyball-style technique. With the ball leaping and bouncing, he proceeded to spike in towards one of the trainers. The trainer, in turn, skillfully bounced the ball around the basket, setting the stage for Curry to rise, and emphatically dunk the ball.

If a Stephen Curry dunk wasn’t rare enough, he treated fans to an even more uncommon spectacle. The snippet came from Arizona as the Golden State Warriors geared up to face off against the Phoenix Suns.

Sonya Curry was a volleyball player

Not only did Sonya Curry raise a family of athletes, but she also had an impressive athletic background herself. Just like her husband and children, Sonya Curry was a versatile athlete. Initially, Sonya took to almost every sport, participating in volleyball, track and field, and basketball during her youth.

However, as she grew older, her love for volleyball began to grow specifically. She attended Virginia Tech as a student-athlete and excelled in volleyball. Furthermore, she earned all-conference honors in the Metro Conference as a junior. Her best friend and colleague acknowledged her influence on the popularity of her volleyball team roommate, who claimed that Sonya single-handedly popularized the team.

The family’s fondness for volleyball extends beyond Sonya. Steph’s sister, Sydel, pursued the sport during her college days. In 2016, she earned a spot on the NCCSIA First Team All-State and was honored as the team’s MVP. Unfortunately, she chose to retire after an injury in 2017.

Adding to the volleyball legacy, Stephen Curry recently shared with PEOPLE that his daughter Riley has developed a keen interest in the sport. Furthermore, he expressed that Riley is not only passionate about volleyball but also dedicates herself to honing her skills. It looks like every generation of the Curry family will be going at the sport in their own way.
