Steph Curry Gets Schooled by 7-Year-Old Son Canon in Hilarious Shooting Showdown
Steph Curry is widely regarded as one of the best shooters in basketball history, transforming the game with his extraordinary long-range shooting abilities. But even the greatest can be humbled at home, as the Golden State Warriors superstar learned from his seven-year-old son, Canon. In an amusing yet insightful moment, Steph revealed in an excerpt from his upcoming book Shot Ready that his attempt to offer shooting advice to Canon was met with a firm rejection. Canon, despite being surrounded by some of the best shooters in the world—his father, Steph, his uncle, Seth Curry, and his grandfather, a career 40.2% shooter from beyond the arc—had no interest in the lesson.
Canon’s response might seem surprising given his lineage, but it speaks volumes about the young boy’s confidence and individuality. Canon is already showing impressive shooting skills at a tender age, as seen when he wowed onlookers at his father’s basketball camp with a slick hesitation move that left a defender on the floor. While his shooting ability is still developing, his natural talent is undeniable. But what’s even more striking is his ability to stand his ground and assert his independence, even in a family so immersed in the basketball world.
Steph and his wife, Ayesha Curry, both acknowledged Canon’s fiery independence, with Ayesha sharing how their son isn’t afraid to speak his mind. His refusal of his father’s advice isn’t just a humorous moment—it’s a reminder that talent and humility go hand in hand. As Steph put it, the lesson was about more than basketball; it’s about accepting that we don’t always have control, especially over the way others, including our children, grow and express themselves.
Along with their eldest son, Canon, the Currys are also raising another son, Caius, who was born last year. Together, the couple proudly parent two sons and two daughters, balancing their busy careers with family life. Their children, particularly Canon, continue to show just how different each child can be, even when they come from a family of such talent.
