“I might get like bored once a week and it just something might pop up so you might go search for it,” said Stephen Curry on a recent podcast with Speedy, when asked if he ever watches his own highlights. Now, that one casual line? It was all the ammo his sister, Sydel Curry-Lee, and god-sister, Cameron Brink, needed to completely blow up his cover. The two wasted no time taking it to their own podcast, Straight to Cam, and Steph’s behind-the-scenes secrets started spilling like tea at a family brunch.
With former Warriors teammate Damion Lee joining the show—yup, the same Damion who shared a locker room with Steph from 2018 to 2022—Sydel came in swinging: “You talked about how he used to read hate comments on Twitter.” Damion didn’t hold back. “I was next to him in the locker room. He would type in his name on Twitter at halftime. It’d be like, ‘Oh. Stephen Curry, this whatever,’ and he’d look at it for probably like a minute or two and scroll, close his phone, put it down, and then go crazy in the second half.”
It got to a point where fans started sending hate tweets on purpose, just to fuel him. “The people started like, just purposefully writing like hate comments to him to get him to,” Sydel explained. And the airplane arms moment? Iconic. “One time, Kerith Burke, one of the reporters from The Warriors, tweeted it right before halftime. ‘Steph, if you see this, I want you do airplane arms after you make a three,’” Damion shared. “Yeah, he made like 1 three—boom. And then he made another three of them, ran down with them in airplane arms.”
Then came Cameron Brink, calmly wrapping it all up with the most accurate summary ever: “He’s just a big kid.”
