Seth Curry Admits He’s Unfazed with Comparisons to Brother Steph – “Dealt with it My Whole Life”

Despite having two talented superstars like Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers have failed to become title contenders. This has a lot to do with the fact that Simmons and Embiid are not fitting in together. Hoping to make this work, the 76ers have been quite active this offseason and have just acquired Dallas Mavericks’, Seth Curry.

The one thing that can make a significant difference for Philly is adding shooters to their roster, and getting Seth Curry is the perfect way to do that. With a career 44.3% from the deep, he can be the ideal third-scoring option behind Simmons and Embiid.

In the past two seasons, Seth has fallen in the top-three in three-point shooting. However, Seth cannot escape from the constant comparisons that are made to his brother, Stephen Curry.

Seth Curry pays no heed to comparisons

Steph’s three-pointers are a treat to watch. He is one of the key players in the Golden State Warriors, alongside Klay Thompson. It musn’t be easy to be compared to someone like him,  but it looks like Seth doesn’t mind it that much.

“It’s pretty easy. I just focus on what I do. I play basketball the way I know how to play it. Personally, I’ve dealt with it my whole life, especially, growing up in Charlotte under my dad’s shadow,” Seth explained. “He played in Charlotte for 10 years, so I feel like I grew up under the spotlight in some sense. It got larger as Steph became an MVP candidate and one of the best in the league. But it’s no different in my process and the way I go about doing things. It’s just knowing who I am as a player and maximizing what I do and letting everybody compare us how they want.”

Seth will be lucky to have a familiar face around him in the Sixers. His new coach, Doc Rivers, also happens to be his father-in-law. So it must be exciting for him to start his journey there. Do you think Seth can compliment Ben and Joel on the court?
