Sonya Curry’s day will begin in Durham, N.C., with a 9:30 a.m. graduation ceremony at Duke University for her son Seth, her first child to earn a college degree. 

It will continue with a celebratory family lunch and finish at Seth’s apartment, where the family will watch her older son’s team play in a critical Game 4 for the Warriors against the San Antonio Spurs.

Just a slightly intense and emotional Mother’s Day.

“She’s going to lose her mind,” Stephen Curry predicted. “Lots of emotions.”

And he said that before Sonya was aware she’d have renewed worries about her older son’s fragile ankle.

The story of Stephen Curry always begins with his father Dell, a great shooter both at Virginia Tech and in the NBA who passed along his skills to his older son.

But that leaves out half the story, as anyone who has watched one of either Seth’s or Stephen’s games and seen the animated, attractive woman in the stands seated next to Dell can attest.

“She’s a strong woman,” Stephen said of his mother. “Growing up in an NBA household, with my dad being on the road a lot, she did a great job with me and my siblings. She deserves a lot of credit for how we turned out.”

And she deserves a share of credit for the athletic ability of her children: Stephen, currently the hottest name in the NBA; Seth, who helped lead Duke to the Elite Eight and is eligible for this year’s NBA draft; and Sydel, who graduates next month from high school and heads to Elon University, where she will play volleyball. Sonya was a three-sport athlete in high school and played volleyball at Virginia Tech.

“A lot of people say whatever defensive abilities I have, I get from her,” Stephen said. “My toughness and grittiness.”

When Stephen was in middle school and was a poor runner, his mother put him through a two-week boot camp in the backyard, doing plyometrics and working on his form.

“I hated it,” he said. “But it taught me work ethic.
