While most of the nicknames are bestowed upon Curry by fans, there’s one given to him by his mother. Sonya Curry apparently used to call her son the ‘Green-Eyed Monster’ because of his unique green eyes.
“I’m the green-eyed monster as my mom used to call me when I was a little kid,” Curry said during an interview with WIRED. “We have some good eyes in our family.”

Curry has a unique eye color. After all, only about 2% of the human population has green eyes, and the 35-year-old is among them.
By the way, kudos to his mother, Sonya, for giving him a lethal nickname. Who knows, it may catch on, and fans may see an NBA commentator call Curry the ‘Green-Eyed Monster.’
Stephen Curry Answers The Origins Behind His Nickname ‘Chef Curry’
One of the better-known nicknames of Stephen Curry is ‘Chef Curry.’ The origin of the nickname is usually associated with a verse in American rapper Drake’s 2014 song 0 to 100 / The Catch Up.
However, Curry recently explained that the true chef is his wife, Ayesha Curry. Steph made the revelation in the same interview with the WIRED.
“This is a very hot topic at our house. So, I get the nickname ‘Chef Curry,'” Curry said. “Drake dropped the first line, ‘Chef Curry with the pot,’ which is obviously a call to me kind of cooking him up on the court.”
He added: “The real ‘Chef Curry’ is Ayesha Curry. I borrow the nickname every once in a while I’m on the court, but she’s the real ‘Chef Curry.’”
Steph and Ayesha Curry have great chemistry with each other. It was great to see the four-time NBA champion credit his wife for the nickname. Speaking of the couple, Steph and Ayesha went viral for doing skin care together.
