Mrs. Sonya Curry is far from easy on her sons, as she even fines son, Steph Curry, for turnovers he acquires in games. With a turnover percentage of his possessions at just 14.7, mommy’s touch is DEFINITELY working out! Further details on this cute, driven story below
Mrs. Curry started fining her son simply because she was not pleased with his lack of efficiency during games. So, he now has to pay a hefty fine when he gets more than three turnovers in a game!

Sonya came up with the idea of fining her son a few seasons ago, frustrated at watching him lose the ball too many times in one game. She checked with her husband, former NBA guard Dell, on what would be a reasonable number of turnovers to hold Stephen to per game; they settled on three. Anything more than that, he owes his mother: $100 per giveaway. Anything under is subtracted from his total.
At the end of the season, Curry doesn’t write his mother a check; she just lets him know — usually through his wife, Ayesha — what fashion items she has had her eye on.
“It keeps me on the edge every game,” he said. “I know she’s going to text me or have some witty one-liner about what she’s going to buy with all of my gifts.”
