Congratulations And happy….
Cameron Brink and Stephen Curry have a family dynamic that goes way back thanks to their parents who were friends before the NBA star and WNBA rookie were born.
star Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and WNBA rookie Cameron Brink, who was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2024 Draft, have known each other since they were young.
In fact, their parents knew each other before they were even born! Stephen is the son of Dell and Sonya Curry, college sweethearts who met at Virginia Tech as student athletes.
Cameron, who was a standout forward at Stanford University, was born to Greg and Michelle Bain-Brink, whose love story also began at Virginia Tech. They met in 1985 and both played basketball for the school.
The couples formed a friendship at Virginia Tech, one that led the Brinks to become the godparents of the Curry children and the Currys to become the godparents of Cameron. This makes Steph the godbrother of Cameron, a relationship the NBA star explained during a press conference in 2021.
Cameron gave Sonya a shoutout during an ESPN interview after she was drafted in the WNBA. “My godmother, Sonya Curry, is over there,” she said, gesturing to Sonya, who attended the WNBA Draft with the Stanford star. “Hi, Godmama.”
The family dynamic also makes Cameron the godsister of Stephen and his siblings, Seth and Sydel. “They’re both huge role models for me, so their support means the world,” the Sparks player told PEOPLE in March of Steph and Seth
.
The NBA and WNBA stars aren’t biologically related, though they are connected through their godparents.
Stephen’s godparents are Cameron’s biological parents, Greg Brink and Michelle Bain-Brink. Cameron’s godparents are Stephen’s biological parents, Dell and Sonya Curry.
That makes Cameron the godsister of Stephen, who she’s had a very close-knit relationship with since she was young. She is also the godsibling of his biological brother Seth and sister Sydel.
Cameron’s mom often posts tributes to her godkids on her Instagram. In 2018, she penned a sweet birthday tribute to Sydel, recalling her goddaughter’s role in her wedding years before.
“22 years ago this shining light dropped rose petals before we walked down the aisle- now she’s married and 24 Happy birthday to my beautiful and inspiring Goddaughter- love you baby girl!!!” she captioned the carousel of throwback images.
In June 2022, Michelle shared a throwback with Stephen. “To whom much is given… you know the rest ❤️ so proud of your accomplishments- even more proud of who you are ❤️” she captioned her post alongside a photo of the young basketball star.
