Cameron Brink, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, has been drawing attention in the sports community due to her connection with NBA superstar Steph Curry. People are wondering about her connection to the Curry family.

Cameron Brink's connection to Curry goes beyond just basketball; they share a special bond as godbrother and godsister. Steph Curry’s mother, Sonya, is Brink’s godmother.

Dell and Sonya Curry, parents of the Golden State Warriors point guard, are Brink's godparents. Both Dell and Brink's father, Greg, played basketball at Virginia Tech. Sonya and Brink's mother, Michelle, were roommates at the school.

This close relationship was evident at the recent WNBA Draft, where Cameron Brink was selected as the second overall pick by the LA Sparks. Sonya attended the event to celebrate the moment with her goddaughter.

Brink, a six-foot-four center from Stanford University, differs from Steph, who is a guard renowned for his exceptional ball handling and ability to shoot from all areas of the court. Brink excels as a post player who has a strong sense of the game and dominant skills in the paint.

Brink, a two-time Pac-12 Player of the Year and three-time Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, will bolster the Sparks' frontcourt, joining players like Monique Billings, Dearica Hamby, Rickea Jackson, Azurá Stevens, Virag Kiss, Stephanie Talbot and Li Yueru.

Steph Curry gave Cameron Brink shooting lessons growing up

Steph Curry has played a big role as in Cameron Brink's life, both on and off the basketball court as a godbrother and a mentor. He has been involved in her development as a player and constantly offered her advice on shooting techniques.

"She was trying to develop her jumper and I spent a little bit of time with her, gave her some pointers," Curry said (via USA Today). "My dad did as well. But just in terms of your development, you put the work and the time in, every year, you're going to get better. She's taken advantage of that.

"To see her in college, I know she's gonna keep getting better, honestly. I don't really have to tell her much now. She's kind of off and running, so it's been awesome to watch."

In her final college season, Brink put up 17.8 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.6 blocks, 2.9 assists and 0.8 steals per game.

She shot 51.4% from the field, 29.4% from beyond the arc and 83.6% from the free-throw line.
