The Golden State Warriors landed on gold in the 2009 NBA Draft. They selected a lanky 21-year-old with the 7th overall pick, unaware of what his impact would be on the franchise. However, 14 years later, the Warriors would have nothing but pride looking back at their decision to select Stephen Curry. The Baby Faced Assassin has led the Warriors franchise to unprecedented heights over the years, but he has also had a wonderful life off the court.
Stephen Curry is a champion in its true essence. From immaculate accolades to legendary championships, Chef Curry has achieved it all in his illustrious NBA career. However, the 4-time champion has won in life as well. He lives a life of luxury through his incredible wealth amassed over the years, also being happily married to his wife, Ayesha Curry. After meeting Ayesha as a mere teenager, Curry tied the knot with his wife in 2011 and has never looked back since. But do the happy couple share kids as well?
