There’s no doubt that Steph Curry is one of the greatest basketball players of his generation. His list of professional accomplishments is as long as he is tall: NBA Finals MVP, leader of four NBA Championship-winning teams, and an eight-time NBA All Star, just to name a few. And while we can certainly be impressed by his amazing three-point shooting skills, we’re not really here to talk about that. We’re here to celebrate the fact that he just might have the cutest NBA family ever!
Steph and Ayesha, his wife of 11 years, have three adorable kids. Their oldest child, daughter Riley, 10, famously stole the show in 2015 when she appeared at some press conferences with her dad and was a delightful ham. She was such a natural on camera that she even ended up joining Steph for a few talk-show vists, all before she was even 4 years old.
Riley was eventually joined by sister Ryan, now 7, and brother Canon, 4. The three Curry kids are often seen supporting their dad on the sidelines, and each of them seems to have personality for days. We always have a soft spot for seeing athlete dads who delight in being with their children, so we’ve rounded up 15 of our favorite pictures of NBA dad Steph Curry and his sweet family.
Hello, Klay Thompson!
It’s probably no surprise that Steph’s son, Canon, is growing up to be a basketball fan, but it’s adorable to hear his sweet and polite greeting to his dad’s Golden State Warriors teammate. Klay Thompson seemed tickled by the greeting, too, which we love!
Night Night
Another cute Canon moment was when Steph spotted his son (along with Ayesha and Ryan) in the stands and took a moment to attempt a high five that turned into a “night night” greeting instead. How cute is Canon’s little bedtime pose?
Couch Cuddles
When someone is a superstar NBA player, their family couch cuddles include the whole family and a nice shiny new trophy! Canon helped out by hanging on to the trophy while his sisters enjoyed some snuggle time with their dad.
His Hero
Winning a championship is amazing. Winning an NBA MVP trophy is also great. But doing both and being a dad and getting a “this guy is my hero” look from a kid in a picture is a real gift. We suspect we might know who Steph’s biggest fan is!
Happy Halloween!
Sometimes when celebs post family Halloween costumes, it’s all a little too perfect, with the whole family in matching themed costumes. We appreciate that the Curry crew was looking cute on Halloween, but the kids were allowed to choose their own costume, with no family theme. Let kids be kids!
Mom & Dad Make a Vow
Riley has grown up a lot since her first press conference days. We love that she officiated when Steph surprised Ayesha with a backyard vows renewal ceremony. The cute guests of honor were Canon and Ryan, of course, who watched from a blanket on the grass.
Proud Papa
Steph had a big proud papa moment when he attended Riley’s kindergarten graduation ceremony in 2021. Ayesha shared this picture to wish Steph a happy Father’s Day and to say, “Thank you for being the most amazing dada and role model for our babies.”
Silly Guys
Some pictures are posed and perfect. We like those pictures — they can be gorgeous — but there is something special about the candid shots that capture a moment of a dad and his son being silly together. It doesn’t matter how famous someone is, sticking tongues out with a toddler is always good for a laugh!
Getting Pushed Around
We’re not sure if this is officially part of a workout for Steph, or it was just for fun. (Do NBA players use kids as part of their cross-training? This could be a million-dollar idea.) But it’s clear that baby Canon was just happy to be along for the ride!
Holiday Realness
We’re a little bit obsessed with this Christmas photo from 2019. We’re not sure what’s the best part. The matching family jammies that include the dog? The fact that baby Canon looks kind of confused about what is even happening? Or that Riley and Ryan are just not feeling it, and Ayesha knows that sometimes the best holiday photos are the ones that are perfectly imperfect?
Press Conference Perfection

We couldn’t mention Riley’s press conference cuteness from 2015 without including a picture. We love this one of her and Steph, where it’s pretty clear that she’s not going to hide her yawn from anyone, no matter how many cameras might be watching.
Sweetest Moments
Steph’s arms may be most known for being used to shoot the lights out on the basketball court, but we think they are BEST used for cradling his babies. Those early days of life with an infant are just some of the sweetest in life, for NBA dads and regular dads, too.
Daddy Dog Pile
Steph might be one of the most famous and successful athletes on the planet right now, but that doesn’t mean he still doesn’t get stuck having to be at the bottom of the family dog pile. Thankfully, he doesn’t seem to mind — and who would with these sweet kids looking so happy.
So Big!
Look at those cute cheeks on little Canon! This sweet snapshot of Steph and his son seeming to play a round of that classic game, “How big is baby? So big!” is from 2020. It was captured while the two were taking a break from watching basketball together.
Cute Little Pumpkin
It’s basically a rule that, no matter how rich and famous a parent might be, the family trip to a pumpkin patch for corn mazes, apples, and family selfies is a must-do. Back when they were only a family of three, Steph, Ayesha, and Riley made sure they followed that fall fun rule and hit the pumpkin patch together.
