Steph Curry’s family tree has many connections to sports as well as politics. His maternal grandfather John W. Thompson Jr., who he shares no blood relation to, was mayor of Washington D.C., from 1979 to 1991 and served as chairman of the Federal Housing Finance Board from 1992 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton‘s administration after being appointed by President George H.W Bush in 1989 at age 32.

Growing Up
Steph grew up with basketball all around him since his dad played sixteen seasons in the league all while being on either an NBA or ABA roster beginning when Steph was just two months old.
He even spent some time watching games from courtside seats at halfcourt just like many children growing up around professional athletes do today because their dads are stars who play on television every night.
His dad actually played on television every night so he could watch games pretty much every game night while growing up. However, unlike many others whose parents are famous or popular, it wasn’t until he started playing himself that people started taking notice that there might be something special about this kid named Stephen Curry.
They were right because by age twenty-one he had already won two NCAA championships with Davidson College which had only ever won one before then making him only the third player ever to win multiple NCAA championships prior to turning twenty-two years old.
People were also right about what kind of player he would be because by age twenty-three Steph was already considered one of, if not THE, greatest shooters ever to play professional basketball which is quite impressive considering how many great shooters there have been over time.
This includes guys like Rick Barry, Steve Nash, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Glen Rice Jr., Larry Bird, Michael Jordan (one could argue that none were better than MJ), or even current star player Stephen Curry himself although none have come close to matching what Steph has already accomplished at such a young age.
