Stephen Curry, one of the greatest players in the NBA, is known for his glorious career and three-point shooting ability. Off the court as well, many might see him as one of the greatest basketball players.
Steph?s wife, Ayesha Curry, too is a well-known TV personality, cookbook author, actress, and influencer. However, instead of boasting about their achievements and wealth, the two spend their spare time helping those in need. Their desire to give back to the community has led the couple to begin a beautiful foundation.
