The Curry Brothers Finally Shared an NBA Floor, and Their Mom Nearly Broke Her Phone

Sunday night in San Francisco, something that should have happened years ago finally did: Steph and Seth Curry took the court together as teammates for the Golden State Warriors. It wasn't some playoff clincher or championship moment. It was a loss to the Houston Rockets, 117-116. And it was absolutely perfect.

After a season wrecked by injuries for both brothers, they made their shared NBA debut in the second quarter. Steph had been sidelined since January 30 with runner's knee. Seth was playing in just his seventh game of the season. Neither was anywhere close to 100 percent. Didn't matter. The moment was real.

A Dream That Took Way Too Long

Think about this: there have been 40 brother combinations in NBA history who have suited up for the same team at the same time. The Warriors had never been part of that club. Until Sunday.

Steph couldn't stop talking about how surreal it felt. "That was special," he said. "We've both had a very difficult year. Honestly, him more than me with injuries. I was joking, calling us the Rehab Brothers, because it's been like that all year."

The last time these two actually played a game together? Steph's senior year at Charlotte Christian High School, when Seth was a sophomore. That's the kind of gap we're talking about. Seth had been on the Warriors' training camp roster back in 2013, but they'd never actually played in a real game together until Sunday night.

Steph dropped 29 points in 26 minutes. Seth chipped in six in 13 minutes. Nothing earth-shattering on the stat sheet. Everything earth-shattering in the moment.

Mom Was Sneaking Pictures the Whole Time

The best part? Their mother, Sonya Curry, was in the stands taking photos like she was covering a championship parade. "She probably doesn't have any more memory in her phone from taking all the pictures and videos," Steph said with a laugh. "So that was a dream come true to be honest."

Seth's mom was so excited she was even sneaking pictures when both brothers were warming up in the hallway. This wasn't just a game. This was a family milestone.

After the final buzzer, Seth made a beeline for Steph's jersey. "It hadn't really sunk in yet," Steph explained, "except when I came out the locker room just now, Seth is very serious about taking this jersey I have on me."

Seth, 35, is planning to frame both jerseys. "In one frame I'm gonna have that forever," he said. He'd already asked the Warriors' vice president of team operations that morning to make sure he could grab both uniforms the moment the game ended.

Following Dad's Path

Their father, Dell Curry, played 16 years in the NBA and has watched both sons build their own careers. Now, at ages 38 and 35 respectively, on Game 77 of the season, Steph and Seth finally got their moment. "The fact that at this stage of both of our careers, that we've had this opportunity," Steph reflected, "you definitely take a moment to reflect for sure."

When it's all said and done, those pictures from Sunday night are getting framed right next to those jerseys.
