![]() ![]() If he wasn’t the Blazers’ best option, at least he was an option, one that the Warriors - and the other Curry - had to respect. Seth made all three of his shots in the fourth quarter, all of them 3-pointers, and a few in Steph’s mug. “Every minute he was out there defensively, he was a pest. “This was like the coolest experience I think I’ve ever had playing against him,” Stephen Curry said. It was a thrilling one at that, because at one point you weren’t sure which Curry would get the best of the other. ![]() Seth was assigned to check Steph, and vice-versa, and it was a family issue played out before the basketball world. The performance earned enough confidence from coach Terry Stotts that he played the entire fourth quarter. This was Seth, younger by three years, getting 16 points and four steals in the game - all four out of Steph’s pocket - to give the Blazers an unexpected lift. This was Stephen with 37 points and eight assists rallying the Warriors back from 17 points down in a 114-111 win, only to get push-back from his brother, who played the best game of his NBA career. This time, the stakes were tame by comparison: just an ordinary game in mid-May that could dictate which brother eventually goes to The Finals and which one sits next to Dell and Sonya in the stands and watches. There was so much riding on those 1-on-1s then, such as a noogie for the loser, the last remaining cookie for the winner, and most certainly bragging rights, at least for the day. Curry all over again, an entertaining spectacle for their amused parents yet a tense one for their sons, Stephen and Seth, fiercely trying to take down the other.Įven if you weren’t there at the Curry household for those brotherhood battles back in the day, couldn’t you just envision how they developed, much as it did on a dramatic Thursday, two decades later on the other side of the country? Yes, late-1990s nostalgia intervened in a tight contest between the Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers. Every player, save for two, suddenly disappeared as 19,595 witnesses were reduced by 19,593, with the remaining pair watching and pointing from the kitchen window. For a special moment, Game 2 of the Western Conference finals relocated from Oracle Arena to a backyard court with a hoop in suburban Charlotte, N.C. Curry has played for eight teams in his nine-year career, but he always ends up back in Dallas somehow.OAKLAND, Calif. This is his third stint with the Mavericks, playing for them in 2016-20. Getting out of Brooklyn is what's really important for Curry because he just had one of the worst years of his career. The coaching staff soured on Curry after a career year in the 2021-22 season, where he averaged 15.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.5 threes on 48.7 percent from the field, 87.2 percent from the free-throw line and 42.2 percent from long range. Those averages made him a must-roster player, but it's hard to understand what we're looking at after that nightmarish 2022-23 season. Dallas' rotation is much less crowded than Brooklyn's was, but there won't be many opportunities with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic swallowing up so many touches. He should be their go-to bench scorer on this lackluster roster and could stumble into a bigger role if one of those superstars goes down. He's unlikely to be drafted in most formats, but he's definitely worth keeping an eye on to see what sort of role he plays for the Mavericks. Seth Adham Curry was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, to Dell and Sonya Curry in 1990. His mother was a volleyball player at Virginia Tech, while his father played 16 seasons in the NBA with the Hornets. Seth's younger sister, Sydel, played volleyball at Elon University, while older brother Stephen plays in the NBA for the Warriors. Seth attended Charlotte Christian School. In his senior year, Curry averaged 22.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists while shooting 52 percent from the field. ![]() He earned all-conference, all-state, and first team SAA All-American honors at the end of the season. Curry also made the Charlotte Christian academic honor roll all four of his high school years. Among his charitable actions, Curry provided pizzas for healthcare workers in the Dallas area in support of their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. ![]()
