Stephen Curry's mom Sonya Curry has a heartfelt message for fans While visiting her mother, Candy Adams, in the hospital, Sonya Curry took a moment to reflect and share a heartfelt message with her fans. She encouraged people to be more intentional about showing love to those who matter most in their lives. 'So, I'm here at the hospital visiting with my mom and I had a thought which can be dangerous sometimes. But anyway, what if we fiercely loved on someone that we love and they mean a lot to us, important in our lives, making them priority by being intentional by visiting them, connecting with them and just catching up,' Sonya said in a recent video that she posted on Instagram. Whether it's sitting on a porch, going for a walk, or getting nails done together, Sonya emphasized the importance of spending time with loved ones and making those moments count. 'And we all are guilty of this, we all have someone in our lives who we say, man, 'I've been meaning to see, go see them and connect with them. And do it physically, go by, just sit on the porch, sit in the living room, go for a walk around the block, do some activity together, get your nails done. So many things you could do. But be intentional about it,' she added. Sonya Curry urges fans to be intentional about their good gesture towards loved ones Sonya Curry took a moment to reflect on the importance of being present with the people we care about. She shared a personal message about how easy it is to delay meaningful connections, only to find ourselves in moments of regret when it's too late. Her thoughts centered around being intentional— choosing to connect while our loved ones are still able to share, laugh, talk, and experience life alongside us. 'Be intentional about connecting with people while they can participate with you instead of, you know, sit in the hospital room and staring at someone and they can't either talk back or participate with you. Um, we're anticipating that might be the last time you see them,' Sonya shared. Sonya emphasized the value of prioritizing those relationships that often get pushed aside in the rush of daily life. Whether it's a simple visit, a walk, or spending quiet time together, she encouraged making the effort before those chances are gone. With a mix of sincerity and humor, she reminded her friends to follow through on promises to visit, especially those who had been meaning to see her in Florida. Her message resonated as both a heartfelt challenge and a call to action to make time for what truly matters. Sonya Curry launches 'LOVE FIERCELY' challenge Stephen Curry and Sonya Curry.

'So my challenge is to connect with that person and we all have someone who we've been meaning to connect with, uh, and do it over this next week. Make it simple but go out of your way to make them a priority,' Sonya said. 'I look forward to hearing what you do and who do you do it with. And a selfish plug for all my friends who said y'll were going to visit me in Florida and I ain't seen you yet, make it happen. Love you, have a blessed day,' she added.

'He was ridiculed a lot' — Stephen Curry's mom Sonya Curry revealed how he faced severe bullying before rise to stardom
Sonya Curry and Stephen Curry. Image via: Matt Winkelmeyer/ Getty Images | Stephen Gosling/NBAE via Getty Images Stephen Curry has made his name known as one of the greatest shooters in basketball history, but according to his mother, Sonya Curry , the road to NBA superstardom was anything but smooth. In a deeply personal and revealing conversation on Sway's Universe, Sonya revealed never-before-shared details on her son's early struggles with bullying, judgment, and the pressure of being raised in the shadow of an NBA star. Stephen Curry's mom Sonya Curry shared details of childhood bullying he faced Stephen Curry and Sonya Curry. Image via: Getty Images Stephen Curry's mom, Sonya Curry, candidly shared the struggles the Baby-faced Assassin had to face in his childhood. 'He was ridiculed a lot, you know,' Sonya admitted on Sway's Universe. The bullying Stephen endured, as Sonya explained, was because of his father, former NBA player Dell Curry , and many believed Stephen's success was handed to him. 'Your daddy's money,' people would scoff, implying his basketball wins in high school were bought, not earned. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Her body cannot endure this level of pain; please help her. Donate For Health Learn More Undo According to Sonya, the criticism went as far as accusing Dell of bribing referees. 'They thought Dell was buying referees, you know, paying off the refs,' she recalled. 'They would come and pull out credit cards like, 'You're paying the refs,' and I'm sitting over there like, I'm about to fight somebody in here.' The level of scrutiny was severe, and it could have easily shaken any young athlete's confidence. Instead of admiration for his efforts while entering the basketball scene, Stephen often faced assumptions that he was soft, privileged, or undeserving. 'Everybody always teased him about being raised with a silver spoon in his mouth... like everything he got was given to him,' Sonya explained. But the Currys weren't about to let fame and fortune spoil their children. Sonya and Dell were intentional about grounding their family, even when Dell was an active NBA player. 'We didn't buy the newspapers when Dell played. They didn't go to the games during the week because we would always say, 'That's your daddy's job. Period.'' Sonya also recalled seeing other players' kids decked out at games, living like mini-celebrities. That was never the plan for the Curry kids. 'I watched a lot of kids fail at that goal of getting into the NBA,' she said. 'So we tried to keep it real.' Sonya further gave a stern message to Stephen and his siblings, stating that their father's legacy wasn't theirs to hold on to, 'You get what you're going to get. You're going to do what God has put you on this Earth to do,' she told them. 'And that doesn't mean automatically being who everybody says you should be.'

And as Sonya Curry's reflections reveal, his story is as much about a quiet star in the making out of hard work and overcoming negativities. As he made his NBA debut in 2009 with the Golden State Warriors, he silenced everyone who didn't believe in him. Now, Curry is among the greatest NBA stars and a future Hall of Famer.

'Took his mother's genes' – Sonya Curry revealed how Stephen Curry's passion for basketball almost defied a doctor's prediction about his NBA future at birth
From the moment Stephen Curry was born, expectations swirled around him. Doctors noticed his unusually large hands and feet for a newborn and, knowing his father Dell Curry 's basketball background, believed the NBA could be in his future. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But his path to basketball greatness was far from a straight line. Curry's mom, Sonya Curry , revealed astonishing details of the Golden State Warriors legend's path to basketball and when she almost believed that he took her genes. Sonya Curry details Stephen Curry's path to basketball from his childhood As Stephen Curry grew up, he didn't exactly look the part of a future superstar. By the time he was 12, he was wearing size 12.5 shoes, but lacked the physical coordination to match. He ran awkwardly on the court, his large feet flopping as he struggled to keep pace with other kids. His mother, Sonya Curry, recalled watching him play and wondering how this lanky, slow-moving boy could ever turn into a college-level athlete, let alone an NBA player. 'When Stephen was born, you know, the doctor saw his hands and his feet long and they knew his dad played basketball and they're like he's got to play in the NBA. Then, between when he was born and probably till he was about 16, he kind of took his mother's jeans, and so I was like, 'uh here's a 12-year-old boy out here with a size 12 and a half 13 shoe and running up and down the court slow,'' Sonya said appearing in SWAY'S UNIVERSE podcast. Shaq & Steph Curry's Moms Expose the Truth About Fame | SWAY'S UNIVERSE She continued, 'I don't know what and feet flopping and hitting his uh and I'm like dear Lord you cannot leave my child like this like this this can't happen he's got to grow.' Despite those early physical setbacks, there was always something special about Stephen. Friends, family members, and even casual acquaintances noticed it from a young age. He had a calm, kind, and warm presence that made him stand out in any room. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He wasn't just a polite child— he had an energy that naturally drew people in. Even before his skills sharpened, people sensed that he was different in a way they couldn't quite explain. 'Seeing him knowing his aspiration at the time was just to play D1 basketball and so um knowing he was smart enough knowing that there is something about this child,' Sonya shared. 'Everyone he met him even when he was a little kid all the family members was like he's unique, he was just sweet kind gentle, he just kind of flowed into environments and into people very like cuddly and loving and just different, you know' Stephen's dream at the time was to play Division 1 college basketball. His parents knew he had the intelligence and mindset to achieve big things. More importantly, they saw firsthand how committed he was. The Currys gave priorities on hard work at home, setting the example through their own actions. 'Watching him actually work hard actually, that's what's common. All of these celebrities when we talk to the parents, we were behind them to work hard, we set the example of what working hard meant and modeled it, but we were there to encourage and them as they worked hard uh as well,' Sonya added. Also Read: As Stephen matured, he followed their lead, putting in the hours, staying focused, and chasing his dream with quiet determination. His rise wasn't overnight, but it was built on years of discipline, support, and belief in himself when others doubted. Now, Stephen is one of the greatest basketball stars, even surpassing the legacy of his father.
