Stephen Curry's inspiration: Dell Curry taught his son how to shoot

Stephen Curry's career outpaced his father Dell's long ago.

Even before the Golden State Warriors legend won his fourth NBA title and first Finals MVP award on Thursday in Boston, Dell Curry's eldest son was known to be the best basketball player in the family: Better than brother Seth, a Brooklyn Nets guard, better than brother-in-law and Warriors teammate Daimon Lee, and even better than dad, the former sharpshooting guard who helped popularize the 3-point shot in the 1990s.

'He's definitely better than I was,' Dell Curry told in 2016. 'I had a two-dribble limit. He's probably best off the dribble. His range is definitely farther than mine was. But it's a different NBA. I would never take 35-foot 3-pointers with 17 seconds on the shot clock.'
