Seth Curry's Comments on Bronny James Speak Volumes After Sealing Warriors Move
Seth Curry's comments on Bronny James have resurfaced after he sealed his move to the Golden State Warriors.
Last season, Bronny and LeBron James made history as the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA.
While that was a first, it is common for siblings to share the court and the Curry brothers are set to be the latest siblings to do so for the same team.
Steph Curry remains tied down on a two-year deal worth more than $122 million.

Meanwhile, his younger brother Seth has signed an Exhibit Nine contract with the Warriors, giving the pair the chance to take to the court together.
With the pre-season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers just days away, fans will not have to wait long to see the brothers in action.
Throughout his career, Seth has largely lived in the shadow of his four-time NBA champion brother Steph, giving him a unique perspective to sympathise with Bronny James.
LeBron James is the league's all-time leading scorer and a four-time NBA champion, meaning there is inevitably pressure on his son.
Earlier this year, Seth spoke about Bronny and the pressure he must face.
Speaking to Fox News Digital while discussing his partnership with Bush's Beans, he said: "I definitely feel for him, in Bronny’s case.
"He’s just going out there, working hard, trying to be the best player he can be.
"I mean, whatever the media and fans do with it, they do with it.
"He’s his own person. He’s trying to go out there and make the best career for himself. So, I feel for him.
"But he's got a great opportunity to go out there, play and prove himself. I’m sure he’ll be fine with a little more reps and confidence."
Seth's Exhibit Nine contract is a one-year, league minimum deal.
They are typically handed out to fill squads for training camps and pre-season fixtures.
Crucially, they do not count against a team's salary cap unless the player remains on the roster when the regular season begins.
At that point, the deal converts into a standard non-guaranteed contract that counts against the cap.
That means there is no guarantee that Seth will play in the NBA, but he is likely to play alongside his brother during pre-season games.
The Warriors will play a total of five warm-up games, beginning with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
They do not have long to wait to face the Lakers again, playing them in their season opener on October 21.
