Stephen Curry Drops Belated Birthday Message for Mom Sonya 3 Days After 58YO’s Viral Outing with Cameron Brink & Sydel

Stephen Curry’s mother, Sonya, has been a constant support to him and his siblings. In the player’s own words, he once highlighted his belief, “She is just like so fierce and bold and to the point direct, that I tell her I get my grit and my competitiveness and my fire from her.” It was time to celebrate her! Many admirers, from her daughter Sydel to her goddaughter Cameron Brink, took to social media to wish her on her 58 birthday. Though Steph is a day late, the Warrior didn’t shy away from making his love known.

A few hours ago, Stephen Curry took, on his Instagram, posted a heartwarming story for his 56.6 million followers. It featured a picture of the NBA vet alongside his mother. Both were holding up a trophy on the tennis court, along with a scoreboard that highlighted details of their Cousin Camp Tournament’s game. Along with acknowledging being a day late with his wishes, Curry expressed his fondness for his mum, penning, “I love you. We love you. Keep shining your light (heart emoji).”

Stephen Curry’s birthday wishes come just a few days after Sydel and Brink made the most of the birthday weekend. Taking to social media, Sydel highlighted the trio enjoying a spa day. Being out in the sun and having a pool on their side, they were all smiles. The Curry family, however, has a special connection between the NBA and birthdays.

Stephen Curry was drafted on a very special day for the Currys

Birthdays are undoubtedly a momentous occasion. Back in 2009, Stephen Curry’s father Dell had two reasons to celebrate. Not only was the former player turning 45, but he was also watching his eldest son follow in his footsteps and become a part of the big league. While the moment was extra special for Papa Curry, who had spent over 16 years in the NBA, it was also a source of relief for Sonya.

During an interview promoting her son’s Apple TV+ documentary, Underrated, the 58-year-old revealed that Stephen Curry getting drafted was a huge source of relief for her. However, there came a time during the process when she got extremely tense as well. “That day, it was actually his dad’s birthday, so he got drafted on Dell’s birthday” revealed Sonya.

“Hearing his name called, even though when they said Golden State Warriors pick him, I had no clue where Golden State was and I was like, ‘Where are you taking my child?’”. She continued stating that the occasion marked a new door opening that will further guide her son’s journey, because “when the door opened for the NBA, I knew he was going to walk in”.

The bond shared between Stephen Curry and his mother stands as a testament to mother-son relationships. Even after getting married and having his own family, the NBA legend makes it a point to never forget that one woman who raised him and guided him.

On this day, we celebrate Sonya Curry.
