Watch: Canon Curry channels his inner Steph Curry gene as father-son duo hop on court for shooting drills
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has started to show his son, Canon, the fundamentals of basketball this summer. Steph posted a video of him and his five-year-old son bonding while shooting hoops.
Curry isn't known for showing off his fundamentals whenever he plays basketball, as he often exhibits different aspects of his game. Still, he had to learn the basics of the sport before his God-given talents took over and made him into a star. This time, the two-time MVP has started to guide his son in learning the sport.
The four-time champion posted a video of him making sure Canon learns his basics first - the basics of trick shots, that is. Watch the father-son duo play ball in the video below.
Posted with the caption "#fundamentals," the video shows how Canon was attempting to make a no-look shot. Steph, who's been playing the sport almost his entire life, advised his son to throw the ball a little stronger. The only son of the Currys seemed to be attentive as he did exactly that and made his second attempt.
After making the shot, the Warriors superstar was delighted with what his son had just done. It might take a few more years until Canon learns the basics, and he'll get to develop from one of the best to ever play.
