Van Jefferson revealed the name of his baby on “The Adam Schefter Podcast”. He said, “Champ…… I think it’s very fitting to name him Champ.” Jefferson added, “We looked it up and Champ is like a warrior and my wife is a warrior……. He’s a champ, and she’s a warrior. So, Champ Curtis Jefferson.”
While Samaria, Jefferson’s wife, was aware that the baby’s arrival was near, she went to support her husband in his most important game. Additionally, when she went into labor, she ensured Jefferson wasn’t informed before the game ended. Therefore, Samaria really did embody a warrior-like attitude during those crucial minutes, and as a result, she was rewarded with a “Champ.”
