Reaching the NBA is an incredibly rare and impressive feat. Playing for 16 seasons is even tougher. But, having two sons both reach the NBA and actually getting to play a season on the same team? That’s something extraordinary.
But that’s reality for Dell Curry. That’s because Seth Curry signed with the Warriors and joined his older brother Steph in Golden State for the 2025-26 season.
For the eldest Curry, seeing his two sons play on the same team was something, he told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole, that hadn’t happened in almost two decades.
“I’m like, ‘Wow, they haven’t played together since high school,’” Curry said. “Unfortunate that they didn’t get to play a lot of games together but just the time that they spent together traveling, at meals. As an NBA team you spend more time with your teammates than your family over the course of the season. I’m sure they became closer. It was a chance for Seth to see Steph’s kids a little more, so it’s all good.”
Seth played just 10 games with Golden State, while Steph played 43 of his own last season — in total, the pair played just three games together.
As for the legacy the Curry brothers have left on the hardwood, Dell believes they’ve played the game the right way over the course of their careers.
“I think they haven’t cheated the game,” Curry told Poole. “They’ve really respected the game, played the game the right way. It’s something I tried to instill in them early. … They’re great teammates, they take their craft seriously. They’re constantly working on their bodies to get to this point and have the careers that they’ve had.
“It’s a grind — I know how hard it is to get to the NBA. …To stay in the league, if you don’t produce, you’re not going to stay in the league. So, the fact that they’re able to produce on the floor, be quality teammates and now at this point in their careers, they can be mentors in the locker room. All of that gives you an advantage of being an older player and what you can bring to the table for a team.”
Seth has played 13 years in the league, while Steph is entering year 18 with the Warriors this upcoming season.
The Curry family surely has a lifetime of basketball memories, and seeing the brothers play on an NBA floor together in the same team’s uniform is likely near the top.
