Sonia Curry, mother of Stephen Curry - starting point guard for the Golden State Warriors in this years NBA Finals- spoke about her love of Hebrew and how a trip to Israel impacted her life in an interview to Sport 5 TV on Sunday. 'I actually love Hebrew... I just love that Jesus Christ (spoke) Hebrew,' she said, adding, 'I wanted to learn.... so I could read the Torah in Hebrew.' The mother of one of the brightest stars of this year's NBA championship series also spoke about the impact that her visit to Israel a few years ago had on her life. 'When I (went) to visit Israel and Jerusalem about five years ago, and came back, (I) was just transformed spiritually...and have been basking in the experience ever since.' Like her son, the NBA all-star's mother also has some Hebrew ink on the back of her nape, which reads 'hen,' that means grace or charm. Stephen Curry has a tattoo in Hebrew of a biblical verse. According to Sport 5, Curry's mom had been studying Hebrew for four years. 'It's our [his and his wife's] favorite Bible verse,' Curry told Sport 5. The 2015 MVP told Sport 5 that he and his wife have matching tattoos that read, 'Love never failed to be.' The verse was taken from First Corinthians, 13:8. Asked if he can pronounce it in Hebrew, he said 'I can't. I'm working on it.' The Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers will face off Tuesday night in Game 6 of their best-of-seven series.
