Warriors star Stephen Curry’s heartbreaking message to parents amid divorce proceedings

It has now been eight months since Sonya, the mother of Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, filed for divorce from her husband, Dell Curry. This came as a complete shock for many considering how Sonya and Dell were seen as one of the most endearing couples in all of basketball.

As it turns out, Steph is himself still struggling with the fact that his parents have now gone their separate ways after 33 years of marriage. The Warriors All-Star acknowledged the personal difficulties he has been going through in this ordeal. Nevertheless, he has chosen to support his parents in their decision:

“It’s challenging for sure,” Curry said, via Logan Murdock of The Ringer. “I could be mad and be like, ‘Y’all effed this up.’ I could have that approach. But it’s going to be an acknowledgment of both of y’all in terms of how y’all raised me. The calmness I have in myself is because of y’all.”

Steph also has a family now and he has a deeper understanding of the dynamics of marriage. He’s been married to Ayesha Curry for more than a decade now and they are the parents to three loving children. He’s clearly mature enough to accept Sonya and Dell’s decision to separate, and he isn’t holding this against them.

When Steph broke the all-time three-point record in Madison Square Garden earlier this season, one of the most touching images was when he hugged his dad shortly after his historic moment. Not long after, the Warriors superstar then proceeded to a tunnel in MSG to hug his mother. It was an unusual set-up, to say the least, but Steph makes an effort to make sure that things are still able to work out:

“I had to make sure I was in that moment with both of them separately and this wasn’t just this whole kind of thing,” Curry says. “That is how I choose to approach that. Because it is challenging.”

Steph may be one of the biggest superstars on the planet, but just like all of us, he too has his own personal problems to face. No matter who you are, you just can’t escape the harsh realities in life.

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...
