NBA superstar Wardell Stephen Curry II says his parents were integral to his faith journey and that he has made Scripture a central part of his home life with his wife and three children.Curry, a two-time MVP and four-time NBA champion, made the comments to Fatherly.com while discussing his new children’s book, I Have a Superpower, which tells the story of an 8-year-old boy named Hughes who enjoys playing basketball.Asked to name his favourite childhood books, Curry mentioned the Bible.He said, “My parents read a lot of Bible stories with me. That’s how I learned my faith, so those are very meaningful to me to share with my kids but there wasn’t a specific series or book that I had lined up to share with my kids.”“I tried to be open to what they were interested in. They’re old enough now that I take their lead. They come home with Dork Diaries and that type of stuff. I just love the fact that they are reading to me now. They’re the storytellers, and I’m the audience, and that makes bedtime more fun,” he added.Curry, an outspoken Christian, has risen to NBA stardom while juggling a travel-heavy career and fatherhood.Curry further said, “We’re fortunate to have FaceTime when I’m on the road,” “My dad travelled a lot during his 16 years in the NBA, and I don’t know how my parents did it back in the day without technology.”“During the offseason, I have much more time with my kids, so I’m trying to do as many fun things as possible and do little things like showing up to their practices. Carpooling is an amazing time. The beauty of it is that you come to appreciate all the little things that seem kind of mundane or routine,” he said.ALSO READ Steph Curry says Romans 8:28 is his foundation: ‘God works for the good of those that love him’
