His forgotten partner, Steph Curry, married a global model after winning an NBA title with the Warriors

A prominent Brazilian model was the bride of the former Sixth Man of the Year in 2019.

With the 28th overall choice in the 2003 NBA Draft, Barbosa started his illustrious 17-year career as a professional basketball player with the San Antonio Spurs.

The combination guard’s nickname, the Brazilian Blur, came from his propensity for playing with lightning speed.

Barbosa played for the Suns, Celtics, Raptors, and Pacers before joining the Warriors as Steph Curry’s backup.

In 2015, Curry’s rookie season with the Golden State Warriors, he won the first of his four NBA titles.

Barbosa played one more season for the Warriors before he announced his retirement from the NBA.

The guard played for two more seasons in Brazil after his NBA career ended, leading the league in scoring during that time.

Barbosa’s second wife is the supermodel Talita Rocca from Brazil.

2019 saw them get married in their home country.

From 2008 to 2013, Barbosa’s first wife was the Brazilian actress Samara Felippo.

He had four daughters in total with all of his spouses.

According to The New York Times, Barbosa told Marc Stein, “I was at a loss for what to do.”

You’re gonna have to do this by yourself, listen. My only activity was to talk on the phone. I told my wife to focus on the baby and not on me.

Thank god, Isabela’s birth went well.

Before hanging up his basketball career, Barbosa was a coach.

He assisted in leading the Warriors to their second NBA championship in 2022 while serving as a player mentor and coach

The 41-year-old’s current position with the Sacramento Kings is assistant coach.
