Alright, let’s talk about the Curry brothers. Not the spice blend (though that’s delicious, too), but the splash brothers themselves: Steph and Seth. You’ve probably seen Steph draining 30-footers for the Warriors and wondered, “Wait, does he have a brother? And how old is that guy?”

The answer is delightfully simple: they are exactly two years apart, with Steph being the elder statesman. Stephen Curry was born on March 14, 1988, making him the wise, baby-faced veteran of the NBA. Seth Curry, on the other hand, graced the world on August 23, 1990, which means he’s the younger (and slightly less famous, but still very good) sibling.

So, as of right now, Steph is in his late 30s, and Seth is cruising through his mid-30s. But honestly, they both look like they could still pass for college kids running the pick-and-roll at a campus gym. It’s honestly a bit unfair—some of us age like milk, and they age like fine wine (or maybe just really good Gatorade).

The “Old Man” of the Family

Steph turned 36 in March of 2024, and he’s out here still doing cartwheels and launching no-look passes. In NBA years, 36 is like dog years for a point guard, but he’s defying every rule of physics and Father Time. He’s got more rings than most franchises, and he’s still hitting threes like it’s a casual Tuesday at the YMCA.

Being the older brother, Steph has that classic “firstborn” energy. He’s the responsible one (mostly), the one who set the path, and the one who gets the first slice of the celebration cake. But let’s be real—he also has the goofiest dad jokes on the planet, so he’s not exactly the stern patriarch.

His age might say “veteran,” but his game says “kid who just discovered caffeine and a trampoline.” It’s wild that he’s older than some of the rookies' dads, yet he’s still the most electrifying player on the court most nights.

Baby Brother Seth: The Underrated Gem

Seth, meanwhile, hit the big 3-4 in August of 2024, and he’s quietly been one of the best shooters in the league for a decade. If Steph is the flashy sports car, Seth is the reliable, fuel-efficient sedan that still gets you to the destination with a perfect 48% three-point clip. He’s not the MVP, but he’s the guy you’d want to take the game-winning shot if Steph is double-teamed.

Because he’s younger, Seth has that “little brother” energy that we all know and love. He’s scrappy, he’s got a chip on his shoulder from always being in Steph’s shadow, and he’s probably still trying to beat Steph in a game of HORSE in their parents’ driveway. The age gap means he was always chasing after Steph’s hand-me-downs—literally, probably clothes, and metaphorically, the spotlight.

But here’s the beautiful thing: Seth has carved out his own incredible career. He’s not just “Steph’s brother.” He’s Seth Curry, starting NBA guard, and he’s done it by outworking everyone and never letting the age difference define him. He’s proof that the second-born can still shine, just maybe a little less brightly—okay, a lot less brightly, but still a solid supernova.

Age Is Just a Number (Especially for Shooters)

In the NBA, turning 30 is usually when players start getting their AARP cards and complaining about back pain. But the Curry brothers? They’re just getting warmed up. Their skill set—infinite range, lightning-quick release, and handles so tight they could pick a lock—ages like a fine scotch. They don’t rely on athleticism; they rely on surgical precision and brain power.

Steph might be 36, but he’s still moving like he’s 26 on the court. Seth, at 34, is hitting career highs in consistency. They’ve both figured out the secret: shooting never sleeps. You can lose a step, but you can’t lose a jump shot that’s been perfected over thousands of hours in the gym.

So, when someone asks, “How old are the Curry brothers?” you can just say, “Old enough to know better, but young enough to not care.” They’re in their prime-for-shooters era, and honestly, they might play until they’re 45 because all they need is a little space and a basketball hoop.

The Real Answer: Forever Young

Here’s the kicker: their actual birth dates are just numbers on a driver’s license. The real age of the Curry brothers is “eternally youthful”. Steph’s smile during a game is the same one he had as a skinny kid at Davidson College. Seth’s determination is the same fire he had when he was playing in the G-League, fighting for a roster spot.

They’ve got that rare combination of ridiculous talent and a joy for the game that makes them seem ageless. You don’t watch them and think, “Wow, he’s really slowing down.” You think, “Wow, how is he still doing that?!” And then you remember it’s because they’re Currys, and that’s just what they do.

So, whether Steph is buying Seth a drink on his 36th birthday or Seth is roasting Steph on his 34th, just know this: they’re not getting older, they’re getting better. And for the rest of us, that’s a beautiful, slightly annoying, but mostly inspiring thing to watch.

So here’s to the Curry brothers—proof that age is just a number, family rivalry is good for the soul, and a 30-foot three-pointer is the ultimate fountain of youth. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go stretch my back because I just turned 30, and I think I pulled something watching them play. Keep splashing, you beautiful old souls.
