After years of backyard games, Seth and Steph spent one season playing together at Charlotte Christian High School.
“It was a great way to grow up, being able to practice with somebody, play one-on-one, talk basketball day in and day out,” Steph Curry told the San Francisco Chronicle. “Then, when you get a little older, to just encourage each other. Even though we’re taking different paths now, we have similar experiences. That bond never ends.”
Seth said, “I know he never wanted me to be able to beat him. He didn’t want me to have the edge. … For me, it was good having somebody a little bigger and better than me. We had some exciting games.”
