WNBA star Cameron Brink recently discussed the impact that Steph Curry has had on her and her approach to the game of basketball. To the fans who might not be aware, Brink is a rookie who entered the WNBA this season and is currently playing for the Los Angeles Sparks.
Even before declaring for the WNBA, Cameron had a relationship with Steph that gave her great insight and advice on her own professional career. After all, Steph Curry’s parents are Cameron’s godparents. This makes the two of them godsiblings.

“But 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 of. You always see him smiling like he’s laughing, joking…Life’s just a joy when you’re around him…It’s a job yeah but it’s a privilege to do this for a living so just like bringing light to every space…I think he’s really taught me that.”Although there have been several instances throughout his career where Steph lost control of his emotions and behaved angrily, there is no denying that his general attitude is quite pleasant and positive. While Steph may have taught Cameron a lot about the technical and practical aspects of the game, his demeanor is something that Brink credits him for the most.
