Cardinal forward Cameron Brink’s close friendship with Warriors superstar starts with their moms.
Cameron Brink was 8 years old when she whispered in the ear of Stephen Curry, a star college basketball player at the time and a close family friend she considered a “god-brother.”
Before the team left the hotel for its Sweet 16 game, Cameron’s mother witnessed the earnest, intimate moment. She gets choked up remembering it.“She said, ‘if you believe in yourself, you can be somebody,’” he responded. Stephen, who is nursing a foot injury, plans to watch the game with his family from home. But Sonya Curry will be in the stands with the Brinks in Minneapolis Friday when the Cardinal take on the legendary Connecticut women’s basketball team for a chance to move on to Sunday’s national title game. Sonya is godmother to the Brinks’ two children, and Shelly is godmother to the Curry boys.
The bond between the families started at Virginia Tech, where Shelly played basketball and Sonya played volleyball and they became roommates. Their future husbands, Dell Curry and Greg Brink, both basketball players, lived in the men’s wing of their dorm. The summer after seventh grade, when the Brink family had settled in Beaverton, Ore., and Cameron was nearing Stephen’s height, she was offered a scholarship to Stanford’s summer basketball camp, a shock to the Brinks.
