Cameron Brink turned a lot of heads with her performance at Stanford before her 2nd overall draft selection in the WNBA draft, just behind Caitlin Clark. But not many people were familiar with her ties to Stephen Curry until she thanked her godmother, Sonya Curry, the mother of the Warriors star, after her selection. Now she is delving deeper into her relationship with her godbrother to provide new details about her experience of growing up with the Curry family.

 

During a recent episode of “Podcast P with Paul George”, Cameron touched on her relationship with Steph. She said, “He’s kind of like a theater kid… He’s just always acting a fool and being silly… You always see him smiling… He’s joking, like life’s just a joy when you’re around him,” while talking about Steph’s personality.

Brink and Curry’s mothers met during their days at Virginia Tech and soon became best friends. Cameron and Steph’s fathers also played together in their college basketball team, which started the long-standing relationship between the families. Just like Sonya being the godmother to Cameron, the LA Sparks forward’s parents are godparents to the 4-time NBA Champion.

 

Growing up together gave them ample time to get to know each other apart from sharing the same passion for basketball. During the podcast, Brink recalled her memory of Stephen Curry’s competitive streak, which the fans are accustomed to seeing on the court.

Cameron Brink Opens Up About Competitive Streak of Stephen Curry

LA Sparks’ latest acquisition is a tough competitor which she proved during her time at Stanford. But how does that compare to that of Stephen Curry? Brink had just the answer to that.

 

“I feel we’ve played like more video games. I feel like we really should. I don’t want to actually try on H.O.R.S.E. because I’m just going to get mad. If we shot, I would just give up. I’m competitive but like with him, I’m realistic. He’s going to whoop my a..,” said the 22-year-old about Steph. (After 15:20)

Cameron Brink had a tough start to her life in the WNBA with two back-to-back losses in the opening fixtures. She is also averaging 7 points per game, 5 rebounds and 2 assists so far this season, and it’s quite obvious that she is yet to find her feet in the big league. But for a person who has close ties with Stephen Curry, a rough patch is only moments away from evaporating before Brink finds her spectacular best in the game she breathes for.

“That’s What I Want”- Alex Sarr Reflects on His NBA Draft Pick Number 1 Projection

With the 2024 NBA Draft just around the corner, the teams are in the final stages of their decision-making processes regarding their picks. After Victor Wembanyama’s first selection last year, another Frenchman is seemingly headlining this year’s event, Perth Wildcats C, Alex Sarr. But what does it mean to be the first pick in the draft? Alex Sarr has the answer to that.

During a recent interview with SiriusXM NBA Radio, Sarr discussed the significance of being the first pick. “I think being the number one pick is being the first in your class, and I’m a competitor, and of course, that’s what I want,” said Sarr. He also explained his playing style and expressed his desire to play more like a traditional center rather than a forward.

Sarr has been on the radar of multiple franchises this season after his performance with his Australian National Basketball League team. His experience in Europe with Real Madrid and with Atlanta’s Team Overtime and YNG Dreamerz makes adaptability no issue for Sarr. He can get back to his familiar Atlanta scene once again with the Hawks holding the first pick and his NBA Draft combine performance could be enough to convince the franchise not to change their mind later on.
