STANFORD forward Cameron Brink has become one of the top stars in women’s college basketball thanks to a major assist from Steph Curry.
Cameron is the “god sister” of the Golden State Warriors legend, whom she spent family vacations with every summer growing up.

Brink’s mother, Michelle Bain-Brink, shared a room with Curry’s mother, Sonya, at Virginia Tech, where their future husbands, Dell Curry and Greg Brink, both played basketball.
Their families have been close ever since.
The NCAA champion’s godparents are Dell and Sonya Curry, parents of NBA stars Steph and Seth Curry.
Meanwhile, Steph and Seth’s godmother is Michelle, also known as Shelly.
“It’s a blessing to have such an amazing connection,” he told the Oregonian.
“Steph is like a brother to me, so it’s like seeing a family member you’ve known for a long time on the cover of cereal boxes.”
“It’s crazy because he’s such a normal person in your life, and thousands and thousands of people look up to him.”
When Brink was eight years old, she provided Curry guidance before he participated in Davidson College’s March Madness Sweet Sixteen game.
“If you believe in yourself, you can be somebody,” she urged the future NBA star.
Brink was not a sports fan as a child, but when she started playing basketball, she didn’t hesitate to seek Curry for help with her free throws and jumpers.
Now, the 6-foot-4 senior is one of the most successful and well-known players in women’s collegiate basketball.
‘I didn’t stutter,’ says Stephen A. Smith as First Take analyst stuns Shannon Sharpe with surprise on-air Warriors assertion.
The 22-year-old, who is competing in the Women’s March Madness, has signed over 15 NIL partnerships, including a historic collaboration with New Balance.
Curry is really proud of the player she has become.”I know she’s going to keep getting better,” the Warriors star stated.
“I really don’t need to tell her much right now; she’s simply off and running.
“It’s been awesome to watch and see.”
