Cameron Brink's Close Connection To NBA Star Steph Curry, Explained

Playing pro basketball wasn’t always Cameron Brink’s dream but having the Curry family around pivoted her aspirations. On “Podcast P with Paul George,” she revealed being surrounded by basketball players made her want to explore other avenues. However, after Steph Curry’s mom Sonya Curry suggested she go to a basketball camp, Brink’s heart was set. Now that she and Steph are both pro-level, they’re both busy but Brink shared that he always takes the time to give her advice. “I think he’s taught me to just bring the joy to everything which I think we all know he just does a great job,” Brink told the podcast hosts. She added, “Life’s just a joy when you’re around him so I’ve really learned that like, it’s a job yeah, but like, it’s a privilege to do this for a living.”

Despite Steph being a multi-millionaire, Brink just looks at him as someone she grew up with. “He’s like my brother basically, so it’s just like seeing a family member you’ve known forever and someone you would run around with and goof off with, and then all of a sudden you see him on the cover of cereal boxes,” she stated in 2018 prior to her Stanford run (via Oregon Live). The admiration goes both ways and Steph has always been one of Brink’s biggest supporters over the years while watching her grow into her own.
