Stephen Curry Is Losing Vast Amounts of Money to His Mother Every Time He Steps Foot on the Court

Stephen Curry is one of the most popular faces of the NBA. Like every great player, his early days in the league weren’t as dominant. Not only did he improve later on, but he was a late bloomer in high school as well. During his transition years, his mother played a huge role in improving his overall performance.

Curry was an injury-prone player during his initial 3-4 seasons. Not only did he have to deal with his injury, but also keep up with his overall performance. It was to a point when the Warriors thought about trading him. But he did come back better than ever.

Stephen Curry once had turnovers in double digits

Seeing Steph improve, his mother decided to make a deal that would help him get better at his game. For each turnover, Steph would commit after 3 turnovers, his mother would charge him $100. This had Steph try to commit no more than 3 turnovers. Though it didn’t go as expected initially.

In the 2013-14 season, Curry had 11 turnovers in the second game of the season. Before anything, this meant $800 into Sonya Curry’s bank account. Though Steph said that, he stopped sending her the cheques a couple of years ago.

Despite 11 turnovers versus the Clippers, he had 38 points, 9 assists, and made 9 threes that game. He was one assist short of what could’ve been an infamous triple-double of his career.
