Stephen Curry’s life took a wild turn when his parents, Dell and Sonya, repeatedly fined him for missteps before he faced a jaw-dropping $227,000 loss in the NBA.

you thought fines were only meant for professional leagues, you might want to have a talk with Sonya Curry. The mother of three had exceptionally creative ideas to keep her highly competitive kids in line. Then again, Mama Curry herself is a woman who loves a good challenge. So, it’s no wonder that her children, and especially Stephen Curry, would find himself constantly challenged and with lighter pockets, thanks to his mum.

Many of you might be aware of Sonya’s bet with her son about paying her fines – which she accepts in the form of handbags, shoes, etc. – for excessive turnovers. That has been a major talking point of Steph’s since his entry into the NBA. It continues to this day, but yeah, he’s had his good and bad days. And bad days are good for Sonya because Mama Curry’s closet gets an upgrade! But how did this tradition come to be? Let’s first hear a professional’s opinion, before going to the origin story.

Dell Curry believes the turnovers are the result of being strict about playing style
“I think the turnovers are because when he was in high school, we really were strict about making both our boys play the right way,” the former Hornets star said. “And I remember a game he was in middle school- he drove to the hole and he went up to shoot. Guy was gonna block his shot, and he went under the basket back to the basket, flipped it up over his head and it went in and it looked like one of those hot dog shots.”

“And he immediately looked at us and went, ‘Sh*t I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry’… Once he got released to be able to do little hotdog plays in the NBA, he took it overboard,” Curry Sr. said, laughing. And overboard it was. While we are not exactly sure how much the 4x champion lost in fines to his mom, we do have a pretty neat idea about how much the NBA levied from Stephen Curry.
