Stephen Curry is arguably the best basketball player in the world today, but can he also predict the future?

If you're a sports fan, you probably know who Stephen Curry is by now. 

\n\n

He plays for the NBA's Golden State Warriors and was voted the league's Most Valuable Player for the 2014-2015 season.

Wait, the name still doesn't ring a bell? 

\n\n

He's also the dad to an adorable daughter named Riley, who stole the show during his recent NBA press conferences.

He loves his kid and he wants her to experience this unique journey with him. That's a great way to embrace fatherhood.

Speaking of fatherhood, Stephen's dad, Dell Curry, was a really good NBA player in his own right. And just like most young kids, Stephen idolized his dad and wanted to be a basketball player just like him.

Thanks to a recently resurfaced Burger King commercial from the 1990s, we can see the bond between Stephen Curry and his father firsthand.

"You really gotta want it," Dell said. 

\n\n

Apparently Stephen really wanted it, because now the young man is currently enjoying the life of NBA royalty. With his MVP award and a championship under his belt, he's likely exceeding even his dad's expectations.

Being a good dad runs in the Curry family.

As the saying goes, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Or better yet, the basketball doesn't fall far from the hoop. 

\n\n

Other than being great professional basketball players, these two men are amazing dads as well. Dell and his wife raised Stephen to be a great man on and off the court, and Stephen really enjoys being a dad to his two daughters.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

But fans of happy families want more. Next up, let's see a sequel to the commercial featuring Stephen and Riley. 

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Get on that, Burger King.

In the meantime, you gotta watch this quick video to see how the whole conversation between Dell and Stephen went down.
