While he may not yet reign as a three-point maestro on the court, Canon Curry is already emulating his father’s path to becoming a two-ball virtuoso.
To illustrate this point, Ayesha Curry, the wife of Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, recently shared a video on Instagram showcasing the impressive skills of their 3-year-old son.
In the brief clip, Canon can be seen showcasing his talent for dribbling two basketballs simultaneously.
“Canon Jack out here stuntin’ like his daddy,” mom wrote in the caption accompanying the post.
And as anyone who’s ever watched the Warriors point guard’s pre-game warm-up can attest, that’s a fair comparison.
While Canon may have gleaned some practice pointers from his father, he asserts his independence when it comes to sinking shots.
“He’s got a hoop on his wall, and he’s been testing his range a little bit,” Steph Curry explained in a February interview with NBC Sports’ Dubs Talk. “And I try to give him some pointers on how to shoot, but he won’t listen. And he’ll tell me, ‘No, this is how I’m doing it.’”
