Steph Curry's son Cannon shows off shooting form inspired by Warriors legend
The Golden State Warriors dynasty has been defined by the greatest shooting backcourt in NBA history, but the franchise’s future might just be warming up on the sidelines. In a moment that instantly set social media ablaze this week, Cannon Curry, the seven-year-old son of Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, was captured displaying a shooting stroke that looks eerily familiar to the Chase Center faithful.
During pregame warmups ahead of Golden State's recent matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, the youngest Curry took center stage. While NBA players went through their rigorous routines, Cannon was spotted on the baseline mimicking the distinct mechanics of a certain Warriors legend—his own father. The video, which has since garnered millions of views, shows Cannon executing a step-back jumper with a fluidity that defies his age. From the rhythmic dribble setup to the high release point and the confident follow-through, the sequence was a near-perfect mirror image of the two-time MVP’s signature style.
For years, fans have watched Cannon grow up around the team, often stealing the spotlight with his postgame antics or interactions with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. However, this latest clip signals a shift from adorable mascot to budding student of the game. The "Young Wolf," as his mother Ayesha affectionately calls him, appears to be absorbing the finer points of the "Chef Curry" curriculum. Basketball analysts and fans alike were quick to dissect the footage, noting that Cannon’s mechanics—specifically his balance and one-motion release—are already more advanced than many youth players twice his age.
The viral moment serves as a heartwarming reminder of the deep basketball lineage running through the Curry family, extending from Dell Curry to Steph and Seth, and now potentially to the next generation. While the Warriors are currently focused on their 2025-26 campaign, the sight of Cannon draining shots with such precision offers a lighthearted glimpse into a distant, yet intriguing, future. For now, the "Warriors legend" title firmly belongs to the father, but the son is clearly taking notes from the best to ever do it.
