NBA star Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary in Santorini, enjoying a beautiful Greek sunset.
On July 30, 2011, Curry married longtime girlfriend and Toronto-area native Ayesha Alexander in Charlotte.
Together, they have two daughters who were born in 2012 and 2015 respectively and a son who was born in 2018.
Meanwhile, during an interview on the TODAY Show, Curry revealed his list of toughest defenders, which included a mix of current and former players:
Bucks guard Jrue Holiday, former Grizzlies guard Tony Allen and former 17-year veteran Metta World Peace (Ron Artest).
“There’s a group of three that always … the lightbulb went off when they were on the court,” said Curry. “It’s Jrue Holiday, Tony Allen, and Ron Artest, actually.
I didn’t get to play too many games against [Artest], but he had the strongest hands you’ve ever seen in your life.”
The aforementioned players were commonly considered among the league’s best defenders during their playing days, and Holiday still is heralded as one of the league’s top defensive guards.
Curry isn’t the first superstar to mention Allen as one of his most difficult defensive matchups. Back in 2016, Kobe Bryant gifted Allen a pair of signed sneakers with the message, “To Tony, the best defender I ever faced,” written above his signature.
While Curry singled out those three individuals as the ones who gave him the most trouble during his career, there’s not many other players in the league capable of keeping him quiet when his shot is falling.
Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry reminisced about their romantic 12th wedding anniversary spent basking in the breathtaking views of Santorini, Greece as the sun dipped below the horizon. The couple tied the knot on July 30, 2011, in a beautiful ceremony in Charlotte, with Ayesha, originally from the Toronto area, becoming Mrs. Curry. Their love story has blossomed into a beautiful family with two daughters born in 2012 and 2015, and a son welcomed into the world in 2018.In a recent interview on the TODAY Show, Curry opened up about the toughest defenders he faced on the court, singling out some of the most tenacious players from past and present. Among them were Jrue Holiday of the Milwaukee Bucks, Tony Allen, the former Memphis Grizzlies guard known for his defensive prowess, and Metta World Peace (formerly known as Ron Artest), a veteran player with an intimidating presence on the court. Curry spoke highly of Artest, praising his incredibly strong hands that posed a challenge for anyone trying to score against him.Holiday continues to be regarded as one of the top defensive guards in the NBA, showcasing his skills night in and night out. It’s no surprise that Curry, known for his sharpshooting and ball-handling, found these players to be formidable opponents who pushed him to elevate his game. In fact, even basketball legends like Kobe Bryant recognized Allen’s defensive abilities, dubbing him as the best defender he ever faced.While Curry acknowledged the defensive prowess of Holiday, Allen, and Artest, he remains a force to be reckoned with on the court, especially when his shot is on target. Few players in the league can contain Curry when he’s in his zone, draining three-pointers with remarkable accuracy. His combination of skill, speed, and basketball IQ make him a constant threat on the court.Stay tuned for more fascinating insights and updates as we continue to bring you valuable information to enrich your knowledge and passion for basketball.
