The Curry siblings, Stephen Curry and Seth Curry are the royalties of the NBA who lived a life full of basketball. Growing up with their father, Dell Curry, a legendary NBA player who played for 10 seasons for different teams. In such an environment, both of the brothers shared a competitive bond. With the GSW star being just a little older than Seth by two years, both of them share a lovely bond. That’s why they are the biggest inspirations and competitors for each other. Although their bond is special now, it was quite rough in their childhood, as their mother, Sonya recalled a funny incident.

Sonya Curry, while appearing on the YouTube podcast Sway’s Universe admitted that Stephen and Seth indulged in a lot of fights during childhood. Recalling an incident, she narrated a story while both of her sons were on the same high school team. Sonya stated that she received a complaint from the school that the Curry brothers were involved in a physical fight. Further shedding light on the intensity of the fight, Steph’s mom said, “Rolling on the court wrestling and fighting.” Interestingly, the mother, Sonya, was also a teacher for Seth and Steph up until sixth grade as she owned her school. So, she took up that role to resolve what the issue was.

While Sonya condemned the act of the Curry brothers, younger Seth Curry stated the truth, “Stephen cheats you all don’t call the same fouls for him that you call for me.” Sonya could not help but laugh over the childish nature of Stephen Curry’s younger brother and advised them to just focus on the play. Even Seth himself admitted on the All the Smoke, “We were fighting. Mom had to come out in the backyard, break up a lot of fights.” Although it was intense for Sonya, she enjoyed the natural development of the Curry brothers.

Both Seth and Stephen are in their thirties and enjoying their NBA career. But is their behavior the same as it used to be in childhood?

Do Stephen Curry and Seth Curry still fight on the court?

In the past, Stephen Curry‘s brother, Seth Curry, has admitted to All The Smoke that both of them had a “competitive” relationship from the start. Though they have grown up and played for different teams, there is healthy competition between them now. They are more of “friends” now, but the spirit to beat each other at games is still there. “When we strap them up and play against each other, it’s the opposite. I’m going out there, trying to shut him down. Want to see them lose. We’re competing; it gets nasty,” Seth explained his dynamic with Stephen in the NBA.

Technically, they do face each other in the league as they play for different teams. However, one of the most significant moments of their on-court fight was in 2019. The Curry brothers faced each other at the Conference Finals. Seth Curry then played for the Portland Trail Blazers and appeared against the Warriors. It was the first time in the league’s history that the brothers went head to head in the Conference Finals.

Ultimately, Seth, as a younger sibling to his superstar brother Stephen, learns from the latter. Moreover, it is nothing more than a blessing to have a family full of guides to motivate you, just like Seth has. It can be said that it was the fierce intensity of the competitiveness that brought the Curry brothers so far together. Do you all agree with it or share a different opinion?
