The beliefs people live by shape and form them for the hard times they will face in the future. So, having a lot of problems since you are a child is the most important thing that shapes a person. Sonya Curry, who is married to Stephen Curry and is a millionaire, said the same thing.

She talked about the hard times she had as a child, which taught her important lessons about life. The NBA star’s mother shared those in public, so everyone could hear her thoughts on how people grow.

What did she say?

In a radio episode of Foster and Friends, NBA fans learned about how she grew up. “It wasn’t easy,” she said of her early life, which was full of problems. Sonya’s mother became a single parent when she was young, which made it hard for the family to pay their bills.

She said, “We never thought we were poor; we just didn’t think we had much.” So, Sonya had to work many jobs from a very young age to send money to her family. She had an existential crisis and struggled because she didn’t know “what my purpose is going to be.” The 57-year-old had “a lot of substance and class” because he had to struggle to fit in. Over time, she began to understand what it all meant as she grew to enjoy it more. When she thought about her childhood, she said, “Struggle is about making you better.”

She was also thankful for the fact that she lived with her family. Stephen’s mother said, “I was lucky to have a great support system” before talking about her cousins. So much that she “wanted to be like them” after seeing them go to college and start playing sports. Now we have a better idea of one thing.

How she might have given Stephen Curry ideas

Sonya became interested in volleyball, track and field, and most importantly, basketball because of her cousins. After that, she married NBA star Dell Curry and had three kids with him. Our first son, Stephen Curry, changed the game for good, and his mother may have had a lot to do with that.

Stephen has been playing basketball since he was very young. Because he grew up in a family that supported sports, the Splash Brother was lucky. The great player for the Golden State Warriors didn’t take it for granted. With his parents’ help, he took over the NBA in his early 20s.
