Early life

She matriculated at Virginia Tech as a student athlete, where she played volleyball, earning all-conference honors in the Metro Conference as a junior. She received a degree in education. According to her best friend and college roommate, the volleyball team was popular largely due to Adams.
Adams met her future husband, Dell Curry, at Virginia Tech. During her official recruiting visit to the school, she was watching the men's basketball practice when they noticed each other.

When Seth was playing college ball with Duke, her celebration of his three-point field goal against North Carolina in February 2013 had her trending on Twitter. She remained popular on the Internet during the Blue Devils' run in the 2013 NCAA tournament.
As she often receives camera time in the audience of Golden State games, Curry has been called NBA "royalty". She has been interviewed about how she successfully raised professional athletes and how the family has dealt with their sons' success.
