Callie Curry: Why husband Seth had to leave Steph's shadow

Share

Steph and Seth Curry lived every child’s dream of playing professional sports with their sibling -- but it didn’t last long. 

Both wearing Warriors jerseys, the Curry brothers appeared in six NBA games together back in 2013 before Seth was waived by Golden State. 

But even though Seth and the Warriors organization never worked out, he has always been his big bro's biggest fan. 

“My husband, I don’t know if you’ve talked to him much, but he’s not a huge talker,” Seth’s wife Callie Rivers Curry said on “The Bill Simmons Podcast." “But, he is Steph’s biggest supporter ever. I don’t even know if Steph knows it, because he’s probably never told him. But from being around him, he loves Steph.” 

Sharing the court with your big bro must be pretty cool. But it’s nearly impossible to escape the constant comparisons and criticism. 

It’s pretty clear Seth was always going to be Steph’s shadow in the Bay, so drifting away worked out for everyone in the end. 

“I think everyone kind of needs their own thing,” Rivers Curry said. “You have to create your own lane, like I wouldn’t say that my brother playing for my dad was the easiest thing ever. You want to create your own thing. I mean he left right before they went on a crazy run, so I’m sure he would have loved to get a few championships. But I’m glad he went somewhere else and figured it out. I think he’s a much better player today because of it.”

After being waived by the Warriors, Seth ended up playing with the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League and has been on multiple teams since then. 

The 31-year-old was traded to the Brooklyn Nets this season and is putting up career-best numbers, averaging 15.8 points, 3.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game.
