Some families have a swear jar. Some roommates have a douchebag jar. Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has a (metaphorical) turnover jar. The basketball player has a deal with his mother, Sonya: He's allowed three turnovers per game. For every lost ball over that number, he has to put $100 into a turnover fund. Sonya uses the money to build her accessories collection. At the end of the season, she lets Stephen know which fashion items she wants, the Chronicle reports.

"I like it," Stephen tells the paper. "I'm a competitor, so I like those kind of challenges. It's a win-win for me. I take care of Mom and I have a lot less turnovers." Kudos to Sonya for negotiating the best deal in sports. She's encouraging her son to succeed, getting fabulous shoes when he doesn't, and Stephen thinks it's all great. Smartest. Mom. Ever.
