Stephen Curry's wife & sister glorify God despite Golden State Warriors' NBA Finals loss

Basketball star Stephen Curry's wife, Ayesha, and sister Sydel gave glory to God despite the Golden State Warriors' defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers on championship night.

The Warriors lost their title Sunday, June 19 while the Cavaliers clinched their first championship ever but this didn't put a damper on the 27-year-old wife of the Warriors point guard and National Basketball Association two-time Most Valuable Player.

"Everything according to His plan always Glory to God," tweeted Ayesha.

The NBA star's 21-year-old sister also remained unbothered by the defeat.

"God and family always stay consistent. That's why I stay unbothered," tweeted Sydel.

"Good game, bad game you always give God the glory for the ability to play," Sydel in another tweet.

Contrary to the women's bright outlook, Stephen didn't hide his devastation after the 93-89 loss on the Finals night. Although voted as Unanimous MVP player who brought his team to a historic record of 1,000 points by making almost half of the three-pointers himself, he made 0-4 three pointers on the championship night.

"It hurts, man," Stephen told the media after the game, as reported by NBA. "I mean, that's all I'm really kind of marinating on right now. It wasn't easy what we accomplished, and it's not an easy pill to swallow what we didn't accomplish. ... Understand that we hopefully will have many more opportunities to fight for championships and be on this stage because it is what it's all about."

While the social media celebrated NBA Finals MVP LeBron James' and the Cavaliers' victory, others also grabbed the opportunity and took a swipe at Stephen.

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal took to Twitter days after the Finals and posted a photo of himself smiling with arms wide open. On the white T-shirt he's wearing is a message with a typo that said "THE REAL UNAMINOUS MVP."

Unlike Stephen, O'Neal became the first unanimous MVP player in 2000 but also brought his Los Angeles Lakers team to championship that season. Stephen, on the other hand, won the prestige but lost the championship.
