Stephen Currymay be one of the biggest NBA stars, but until recently, his 2-year-old son Canon had no idea.
During a virtual appearance on Friday’s episode ofThe Ellen DeGeneres Show,Ayesha Curryrevealed that the couple’s youngest child actually thought his famous dad was a golfer. “He’s such a boy’s boy,” she said of her son, noting that he’s already started playing some basketball.
“For the longest time actually, he thought his dad was a golfer because of the pandemic and there was no basketball in season,” the mom of three added. “So he’s just now realizing that his dad and his uncles play basketball. So that’s been exciting for us.”
Canon joined the Golden State Warriors star, 34, on the court earlier this year, even giving his dad a high-five after a March game against the Utah Jazz.

During her chat with DeGeneres, theSweet Julycreator also spoke about how thrilling it’s been to watch her husband’srecord-setting season. “It’s insane. It is so insane,” she said of his growing list of accomplishments. “And he’s one of the older guys out there now, believe it or not.”
The Seasoned Lifeauthor added, “It’s just been really cool to watch him break all these records and do it with such humility and humbleness. He comes home and it’s like it never happened. He just wants some popcorn and some candy.”
Although the Warriors may not be having their best season this year, the two-time MVP has continually been breaking records.
