Stephen Curry, also known as Steph Curry, is an American professional basketball player. A point guard, he plays for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is regarded as one of the greatest players ever. He is one of the record-setting Splash Brothers basketball duo, with Klay Thompson.
Stephen is the son of Sonya Alicia (Adams), a volleyball player and educator, and Dell Curry (Wardell Stephen Curry), an NBA player, who played with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets, and Toronto Raptors. His brother is professional basketball player Seth Curry. He was raised mostly in Charlotte, North Carolina, also spending time in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, while his father played in those cities.
Stephen’s parents are both African-American. His grandparents are all African-American as well. Stephen is married to Canadian-born actress Ayesha Curry, with whom he has four children.
Stephen is sometimes described as having a Haitian maternal grandparent. This is not accurate.
Stephen’s paternal grandfather is named Wardell Curry (the son of Blanch Perline Curry).
Stephen’s paternal grandmother is named Juanita Marian/Marion Leitch/Gaines Casey (the daughter of Eugenia Marian Gaines).
Stephen’s maternal grandfather is Cleive Ester Adams (the son of Cleive Ester Adams and Bertha Blanche Arrington). Stephen’s great-grandfather Cleive was the son of Jonnie Lee Adams and Mattie Annie Taylor. Bertha possibly was the daughter of John Arrington and Ruby Tyree.
Stephen’s maternal grandmother is Candy Ann Wyms (the daughter of Walter Leonard Wyms and Evelyn Katherine Snell). Walter was the son of Judge Paul Wyms and Virginia Belle Hines. Evelyn was the daughter of Archie Newbern Snell and Gertrude Katherine Hubbard. A picture of Archie’s parents, Stephen’s great-great-great-grandparents Wesley Snell and Flora Etta DeHart, can be seen here.

Stephen’s maternal great-grandfather, Walter Leonard Wyms, on the 1930 U.S. Census – https://familysearch.org
My best guess is: 60% Sub-saa African and 40% Euro(likely british isles). Most of the euro coming from his mom
I guess that means this was a hoax.

And it’s Flora Etta DeHart
Both of his parents are African American. His mom has Melungeon Free People Of Color roots. For those of you who don’t know, African Americans range from 10 to 30% European dna on average, more or less. His mom could be a 50/50 split or be just 35 to 40% European genetically.
