Stephen, his mom Sonya, dad Dell Curry, wife Ayesha Curry, brother Seth Curry, and sister Sydel were split up into teams for a shooting contest.

Sonya and Dell were on a team shooting half-court shots, when with time running down Sonya nailed an underhand half-court shot with Stephen watching the whole thing from right under the basket.

The shot set off a huge celebration in the packed Carole Hoefener Center.

Stephen and his family helped fix up the gym, a place he used to practice as a kid.

The Warriors star is excited to serve as an ambassador for his hometown of Charlotte during the 2019 All-Star Game.
