Stephen Curry’s kid Canon has become a fan of basketball player Klay Thompson.
The 4-year-old can be seen in an adorable video published by the NBA account on Instagram showing his enthusiasm for his father’s fellow Golden State Warriors player after the club defeated the Boston Celtics on Saturday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Canon turned around while holding Curry’s hand as the group appeared to be heading into the locker room following the game and remarked, “Hello, Klay Thompson.”
Thompson, 32, responded to Canon, “Hey, what’s up man?” prompting a giggle from many who watched the adorable scene.
Curry, 34, and Thompson have been Warriors colleagues for over a decade. The NBA announced on Tuesday that Thompson had become the 13th player in league history to “surpass 2000 career triples.”
Curry and his wife Ayesha Curry have two daughters, Riley, ten, and Ryan, seven.
Speaking to E! News earlier this month at the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year Awards, the four-time NBA champion revealed his children’s thoughts on him.
When asked if his children are as “impressed” with him “as other people are,” Curry, the evening’s honoree, replied, “I would hope to say yes, but probably for different reasons.” “I don’t think they care how many times the ball goes into the basket.”
“They’ve been to a couple parades and all that, so they enjoy the festivities of celebrating a championship,” the father of three continued. But when you’re at home, you’re simply Dad, which is the nicest part.”
“You get to watch them grow and blossom and discover their personalities, as well as support and have fun with them.” “More than anything, they like my goofiness and the way you just show up at home,” he explained.
In terms of whether his children are blossoming athletes, he stated that Riley is “interested in volleyball” and Ryan “is still figuring out if sports is her thing or not.” Obviously, there is no correct or incorrect answer.”
Canon is also “pretty athletic from what I can see,” he says, adding, “There’s no pressure either way.” We simply want them to find what they enjoy and to support it.”
Curry also praised his family, calling them “the gas in the engine” for giving him “the space to invest in my craft, and the amount of sacrifice it takes to work at that level, but also the unconditional support of wins, losses, great games, bad games, they’re there and I hope to be there for them in all that life throws at us.”
He admits that basketball “is gonna end at some point,” but he’s looking forward to share his experiences with his children.
