Cameron Brink’s name shines brightly as one of the rising stars in the realm of college basketball. The 6’4″ unicorn is a force to be reckoned with at both ends of the court. The Stanford player became the first player to record a triple-double with points, rebounds, and blocks in program history last season. As a junior, the Cardinals forward averaged 15.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game, earning the All-Pac-12 and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. She then took it up a notch and was awarded WBCA Defensive Player of the Year honors.
The New Jersey native has built on that success and has recently unlocked a new milestone in her rising college career. This new massive feat garnered appreciation from Seth Curry’s spouse and Stephen Curry’s sister-in-law, Callie Curry.

All eyes are on Brink as she makes her name in the basketball world. However, this is not a journey she has navigated alone. Her talent and unwavering dedication to her career are backed by the 4-time NBA Champion and three-point shooting maestro Stephen Curry.
It started back when Sonya Curry and Michele Bain-Brink were roommates at Virginia Tech. Their deep friendship translated into a familial connection, making Shelly Brink choose Sonya to be Brink’s God-Mother. Consequently, Stephen Curry became Brink’s God-Brother. Although they are not related by blood, the 2-time MVP has fully embraced the role of a big brother. He is often spotted at her games, cheering for the young star from the sidelines.
