In the world of basketball, few names shine as brightly as the Curry family, and this week, the spotlight turned to Seth Curry as he celebrated his 35th birthday. The former Duke standout, known for his sharpshooting prowess, received a heartfelt shoutout from his older brother, Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry. Via his Instagram story, Steph wrote, “Happy bday to you Hooli @sdotcurry,” a nod to their close bond and shared legacy as elite shooters in the NBA.
Seth Curry, currently a free agent, is coming off an impressive season with the Charlotte Hornets, where he showcased his lethal three-point shooting. Averaging 6.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, Seth shot an exceptional 47.8% from the field and a jaw-dropping 45.6% from beyond the arc in 68 games. His performance earned him a historic accolade: the first Hornet ever to win a 3-point percentage title, as noted by @HornetsMuse on X. “Last season, Seth was the first Hornet EVER to win a 3-point percentage title. He shot a stunning 45.6% from deep, on 2.7 3PA. Carrying on the Curry legacy in the Queen City!” the post read.
Over his 11-year NBA career, Seth has proven to be a reliable role player, bringing his sharpshooting skills to teams like the Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Memphis Grizzlies. His career averages of 10.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game, coupled with a 47.1% field goal percentage and a remarkable 43.3% from three-point range across 550 regular season games, make him a valuable asset for any contending team. Add to that his experience in 41 NBA playoff games, including 16 starts, and it’s clear Seth is a battle-tested veteran who can deliver under pressure.

The Curry family’s shooting legacy is undeniable. As @NBAAllStar highlighted during the NBA All-Star weekend, the Curry men—father Dell, and sons Steph and Seth—are a three-point dynasty. Dell shot 40.2% from deep in his career, Steph boasts a 42.4% mark, and Seth edges them both with an impressive 43.3%. “It runs in the Curry family,” the post declared, capturing the essence of their sharpshooting heritage.
As Seth enters free agency, his elite shooting and veteran presence make him a hot commodity for teams looking to bolster their bench. Meanwhile, Steph prepares for his 17th season with the Warriors, where he continues to redefine the game with his unparalleled shooting and playmaking. The brothers’ bond, both on and off the court, remains a heartwarming storyline in the NBA, and Seth’s next chapter promises to keep the Curry legacy burning bright.
