NBA superstar Stephen Curry is one of the most skilled players ever. And his son is already trying to replicate his father’s skills, and the NBA has to be warned. Canon, who is just 3, was following in his father’s footsteps and doing his pre-game handling routine. Steph’s wife, Ayesha, posted the clip on Instagram this Tuesday as Canon mimicked Steph’s iconic pregame ritual.
Ayesha wrote, “Canon Jack out here stuntin like his daddy ?? @stephencurry30”. Curry’s pregame warmup doesn’t need any introduction. Fans come in early just to see it.

Steph has previously discussed giving his kid shooting tips, but he comically acknowledged the youngster isn’t very interested in listening to his advice. Canon’s inherent skill should not come as a surprise given that his father, uncle, and grandfather were all successful professional athletes.
Athletes must be 19 and have graduated from high school for one year before being drafted into the NBA. It would be interesting to see if Canon Curry would follow in his father’s footsteps, just like Steph followed in his father’s.
