NBA Daddy Steph Curry And Family Positively Adorable In Magazine Cover Shoot

OAKLAND (CBS SF) -- On the court Stephen Curry is a superstar, and off the court he's a super dad from the looks of the June cover of Parents magazine. The NBA's most valuable player shows off his most prized possessions, daughters Riley and Ryan, and wife Ayesha in a series of adorable family portraits.

In a candid off-court interview, the Currys reveal how their first encounter as teens in the same church group blossomed into their first date, a "dodged" kiss, and like the song says, "love, marriage, and a baby carriage."

The first to ride in that baby carriage was Riley, now 3, perhaps the most famous daughter in the NBA. Dad says when reporters see him and Ayesha out without her, the first thing they ask is, "Where's Riley?"

"I never want to burst her bubble, or reel her in," says Ayesha. "I want her to be as spunky and spontaneous as she wants to be but at the same time... (she laughs) I'm scared."

Scared in a good way. Little Riley is a showstopper. When her dad and his team were winning the 2015 NBA championship, Riley was winning everyone's hearts during the post-game pressers. No doubt, her baby sister, 10-month-old Ryan will do the same.

Along with two precious daughters, the Currys have two matching tattoos. Ayesha laughs as Steph flexes a muscle to show his off.

"It signifies our past is behind us, the future is in front of us, so we stay in the middle, in the moment," he says.

On the court, it's their secret handshake. When he looks up at her in the stands and slaps his tat, she does the same.
