The reigning NBA MVP and current MVP frontrunner Stephen Curry turned 28 on Monday, and to celebrate, we have 28 facts about him.

1. His real name is Wardell Stephen Curry II.

In a Warriors World Q & A, he says that he was named after his father, and even though he is widely known as “Stephen” or “Steph,” his close friends still refer to him by his birth name.

2. He was born in Akron, Ohio.

Not only were Curry and LeBron James born in the same city, but they were born in the same hospital, according to NBC Bay Area.

3. His parents are both former athletes.

His dad, Dell, played in 16 NBA seasons for five different teams. His mom, Sonya, was a college volleyball standout. Guess it runs in the family.

4. His sister, Sydel, plays volleyball at Elon University.

Yeah, it runs in the family.

5. He is a gifted golfer.

In addition to his heroics on the basketball court, Curry is an avid golfer and that he shot two-under par at Pebble Beach last summer, according to the Golf Digest. He also recently hit the links with President Obama at Martha’s Vineyard.

6. He holds the record for three-pointers in a season in both the NBA and NCAA. 

That’s right … The NBA’s deadliest shooter was re-writing the record books long ago, with 162 makes during his sophomore season at Davidson, according to NBA.com.

7. He is extremely active in charity work.

In addition to winning the 2013-14 Kia Community Assist Award, he has worked extensively in the fight against malaria, including his help to distribute 38,000 bed nets to families at the Nyarugusu refugee camp in Tanzania, according to NBA.com

8. He once starred in a Burger King commercial as a kid.

9. His mother fines him each time he commits a certain amount of turnovers. (via San Fransisco Chronicle)

Yes, he’s 28-years-old and the reigning NBA MVP, but Curry has a verbal contract with his mom. She fines him $100 for each turnover he commits after his third each game. Meaning, if he commits four turnovers, he owes her $100. Five turnovers= $200, six turnovers=$300, etc.

10. He started playing basketball when he was about five years old. (via Warriors’ Facebook Q & A)

Twenty-three years later, who would have thought he would be leading the dawn of a new era.

11. If he were to choose an actor to play him in a movie, it would be Denzel Washington. (via Warriors’ Facebook Q & A)

It’s tough to picture the 61-year-old Denzel portraying Curry, but anything’s possible, right?

Don’t worry Steph, they’re more afraid of you than you are of them.

16. He once found a wallet with $160 and returned it.

He described the incident to the Big Lead:

“It was at the beginning of my sophomore year and I found a wallet in the dining hall. We have this campus-wide email that goes out every morning – Davidson is a small community, people look out for each other, you know? – and I put it in there. But my email had my first name, ‘Wardell,’ on it, so I don’t think the kid knew it was me until he showed up at my door. He was like, ‘you lit up Maryland in the NCAA tournament’ and then asked for my autograph. Pretty funny.”

17. He first dunked a basketball during his freshman year at Davidson.

18. His first date with his wife, Ayesha, was on Hollywood Boulevard.

He told AskMen.com:
