OAKLAND, Calif. -- The fact that Sonya Curry sent a group text to her extended family on the eve of the Western Conference finals is not surprising.
She's always sending inspirational texts to the family. Or as she pronounces it, "texes, like Texas." But this texes message was special, because her sons -- Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Seth Curry of the Portland Trail Blazers -- are the first brothers to play against each other in a conference finals.
And while she doesn't like the Currys being called the NBA's Royal Family or First Family -- "Those titles come from other people," she says.
