Steph Curry's Mom On Raising An NBA Superstar | Through Mom's Eyes | TODAY

You talk about not

raising

them, but earlier this year, Steph was caught cursing during playoff spirit. Remember, you probably told her that she would take care of her mouth with soap. It was not so. I just walked in, she records a message for him as soon as he comes. Off the court, I upload the video and then he tells me for days. Hello everyone. I'm in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I'm so excited for our chat with Sonya Curry. You probably recognize her last name. She is the mother of Steph Curry. but we have a million questions for her.

She has three successful children. How did she do it? Can she give the rest of us any secrets? Lets chat. Hello. How is it a pleasure to meet you? Tell me about those first years of elementary school. high school what comes to mind about daily juggling the most important thing for me is that I never really thought about what I was doing you know people would always stop me and tell me how can you do what you're doing where I own my own school the kids went to school with me the three of them all my kids were at some kind of activity at night and you just did it you just woke up and got going tell me if this is true so I read it I think yeah There was something about Steph if I had been at a big high school game or his first high school basketball game, he didn't do his homework the night before and he couldn't play that first game, that's true, that's Absolutely true, we just work. as a family, if everyone does their part, it's not my job to do everything for everyone, okay, sorry, second value, but it wasn't, but they had to be trained to understand that, so if something didn't work at home, everyone was infected.

Other things outside though, so God first, family second, and for them school was next for telling myself it was work, so would you say you're strict? Yes, you say those were my skills. I'm trying to say it wasn't that bad, but it was pretty bad. Speaking of sports, did you feel or did they feel like it was something they had to do or is it something that really appealed to them or did we never push them with sports did they know the game they watched the game were they kids? those who went to the games sat and watched they didn't run around they didn't worry about snacks and things like that they watched they watched the games at home so they were students of the game did you ever see those two guys you saw?

He plays and says, you know what this kid has something about, it was probably still Stephan's junior year right before he turned pro, I was still asking his coach, Coach McKillip, are you sure you can do this? because you really know a lot of kids say we won't aspire to be NBA players, but we see how many you know never get there and most of the time it's just because they think you know others expect that or want to aspire to be like their parents. and we didn't want to. set that Dell didn't want, except that expectation for them, find your purpose, what's going through your mind when you're watching the game, are you watching the referees, are you watching your kids, are you watching, you know, take what that feels like. ? you at first because I'm a fan of sports in general, I go in to have a good time, I watch them to see how they're doing and then mom mode kicks in at different times when someone tries to take it, man can.

You wouldn't even imagine, oh yeah, that maternal instinct will never go away when mama bear you think someone is trying to hurt your child. You know for me some of that is just part of the game and so I say, get up, you can. Get up, you're okay, you know things are in the spotlight, so it's also played and they played together, yeah, how does that work? It was fun, it was easy because I could go to a game and watch them both when they play against each other it's touching because it's like, because every time I see them dunk on the adults and they play against each other, it reminds me of them in the house in the backyard and then their different personalities and then I support them because I want you to get your big brother because I remember all the language stuff and I used to set her up, one of the things I remember she said it wasn't really her when she. was born.

I didn't know what I was going to do with a girl, I was like, well, what will she wear, thank God, I got a girl because she leveled us out, gave us the softness that we needed in this family. I'm so grateful to have that experience with the guys and the game, but not like crazy. I remember the game is against Lindsay Stater and then LeBron was there watching and then he was before, yeah, that's it and now it's crazy to think they're playing against each other. or you know they like to do it with each other, but each other is so cool, oh my god, well my jersey is in your room if I say you know three NBA championships, two-time MVP, one of The best shooters in history, do you ever understand? for your widgets, I mean less when you say my stomach is going crazy, you know, because who could write this drip, who could have this bra, need a little boy who had big feet and his body didn't fit his feet and who would do it.

Have you done this before? I mean, who would have thought I'd have two kids in the NBA? You have to think of two things you did well, which would be training them in the ways of the Lord and then emphasizing family first? Have something to dry a house for me if you have any dreams for them, but my God, this is more grandchildren, that's all, more grandchildren that follow me.
