Steph Curry's father, former NBA guard Dell Curry, recalled his son's physical disadvantages growing up and blamed Curry's mother for Steph's height.
Being 6-foot-2 hasn't stopped Steph Curry from dominating the NBA the last decade. Still, his father thinks there was potential for more. Curry's father, former NBA guard Dell Curry, is 6-foot-5. Dell pointed out his son's height during a recent episode of their Audible podcast, 'Heat Check with Stephen and Dell Curry.
Dell began his NBA career with the Utah Jazz after being selected with the 15th pick in the 1986 draft, but he was most known for his 10-year stint with the Charlotte Hornets, where he won sixth man of the year in 1994. Despite the three inches Dell had on Steph, the younger Curry had the superior basketball career by a wide margin. However, Steph's height did pose some barriers early on.
It’s kind of forced upon you just by that’s all you’re in … you’re in a gym all the time. You develop a love for it.' Steph became the NCAA scoring leader by his junior year at Davidson in 2008-09 and was named a consensus first-team All-American. He was then drafted higher than his father with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, with whom he's won four NBA titles and two NBA MVP awards.
