Not only is Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry the greatest shooter to ever live, but also, when he's not on the court, the former back-to-back NBA Most Valuable Player also plays the role of a devoted father at home.
Curry is married to Ayesha Curry, whom he's been with for 17 years now. Their loving union has brought forth four lovely children. Their eldest is Riley, 12, followed by Ryan, 9, Canon, 7, and Caius, 1.
It was Canon who was the center of attention in the Curry household on Wednesday as Steph and Ayesha's eldest son celebrated his seventh birthday. Steph Curry took to social media to send a heartfelt message on Canon's special day.
"My guy CWJC is 7! Laughs, jokes, country & Patwa accents and 1000 'look what I can do'’s a day. We love you Young Wolf," he posted on Instagram.
While most of the fans sent their birthday greetings to Canon, more than a few of them could not help but feel sad after seeing Steph Curry's latest set of photos.
"7 already??? I’m getting old ð¢" a comment on Instagram read.
"I knew when they announced they were expecting him and knew when he was born, and now he’s 7. Lord, it’s me again ð¥¹" said another.
"Time flies ð¢" a supporter wrote.

"no way cannon is 7 alreadyðð¥¹" a reaction read.
"Bruh he's 7 already? I coulda sworn lil bro was born yesterday ððð" another said.
"ði hope he grows up and these photos are still on here," posted a fan.
Being that his father is one of the most popular athletes of his generation, Canon grew up in front of the fans and the media. This is exactly why some supporters could not believe that it's been seven years since Ayesha Curry gave birth to their first son.
Steph Curry's post was a joyful one for his son on Canon's milestone birthday, but some fans just couldn't shake the feeling of sad nostalgia after realizing just how quickly time flies by.
