Steph Curry filling in as substitute second grade teacher with family at home

Stephen Curry reveals his quarantine schedule.

On Friday, Stephen Curry hosted a pop quiz contest with other NBA players on Instagram. With no basketball on the schedule, Curry checked in with Damion Lee, Seth Curry, Mo Bamba, Kent Bazemore and other players around the league to ask them questions regarding NBA history.

Along with the quiz, Golden State’s point guard caught up with his fellow players that are also going through life without basketball. When former Warrior JaVale McGee joined Curry’s Instagram live, Curry revealed what his schedule looks like under quarantine.

While he’s off the court, Curry is spending time as a substitute teacher for his daughter Riley’s second-grade class.

Via Whitley Sandretto of 95.7 The Game:

Quarantine schedule is going great. I’m actually not the best at making the schedule, but when it comes to the day it looks something like this — wake up, get a little workout in, then my daughter’s second-grade class starts, and I’m like the substitute teacher for a little bit.

After his daughter logs into her class through a Zoom conference call, Curry supervises the in-class assignments and homework.

Follow them on the Zoom conference. They get on the whole class. Then after the class is over, I’m the one that’s got to sit there and dish out the paper and all of the materials — so she’s got to sit there and do it.

While Curry is a two-time Most Valuable Player and six-time All-Star on the court, he’s just a “three-star teacher” in the classroom, according to his daughter.

She told my mom today she said, I’m a three-star teacher, I said dang, that’s cold-blooded. I’m invested in your future young lady.
