See, this is why we can’t have a full week between the last Conference Finals game and the first Finals game. That break gives the internet too much time to internet, and when the internet goes full on internet, nobody wins.
As you may have noticed, Stephen Curry has an insanely attractive wife and an equally attractive mother. Such is life for the MVP, three-point shooting deity. That amount of sexiness has apparently caused the net to go haywire because there’s a story circulating online with the headline, “Is Stephen Curry a perfect example of an updated version of Oedipal complex?”
So, we’re talking about the Oedipus complex here? The one where the son wants to have sex with his mother? Is that what we’re doing? Oh, that’s something.
As evidence, the article cites a 2012 study that says:
Researchers figured this out by surveying 70 married couples and comparing pictures of each spouse with pictures of each spouse’s parents. Men were far more likely to marry women who resembled their own mothers than women were to marry men who looked like their fathers.
So, how does this relate to Steph, his mother Sonya and wife Ayesha? Well, they have that covered, too.
Fast forward to 2015, and is Stephen Curry the perfect example of the updated version of the Oedipal complex? He’s not looking to murder Dell Curry to get to Sonya Curry, but instead married Ayesha Curry because she is similar to Sonya.
Like Sonya, Ayesha is religious, beautiful and appears to be a very good mother.
Let me get this straight: Because they’re both good mothers (do we really know this?), beautiful and religious (do we know this either?), Steph is trying to replace/sleep with his mother? Huh?
Newsflash: Professional athletes tend to date/sleep with/marry attractive people 99.99 percent of the time. Steph and his father are athletes, hence the beautiful wives. What’s worse is that the article implies that the two women look alike, and further pushes the “all black people look the same” rhetoric. Really, all they have in common is their last names, and I guess a similar skin tone, maybe.
If they are similar women, that doesn’t imply anything other than Steph and Dell know how to pick ’em, or they were lucky enough to be chosen by those beautiful women who happen to be incredible mothers. By no means does this imply that Steph wants to date his mother, or his mother’s doppelganger or whatever other weird internet theory that’s floating around out there.
Look, let’s just get these Finals started so we can stop hearing weird stuff like this and start talking about actual basketball. Next thing you know, there’s going to be a rumor that LeBron’s mom slep- wait, never mind.
Six more days, then we’re back to basketball. Thankfully.
