Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry has long played his way out of older brother Steph’s shadow, establishing himself as another one of the game’s best shooters and an important piece in his team’s title chase.
What he hasn’t been able to escape, however, is an appearance he made as a kid in the 2002 film Juwanna Mann, which was filmed in his hometown Charlotte. Apparently, it comes up often on social media whenever someone new discovers him in it, and it happened again this week when Kenia Cole, an assistant basketball coach at William & Mary, re-surfaced an image of his cameo on Twitter.
It didn’t take long for this thing to go viral.

I probably haven’t seen Juwanna Mann since it was released, so I barely remember anything about it other than it being centered around a man cross-dressing as a woman in order to play professional basketball, which…yeah. So I definitely didn’t know Curry was in it until this tweet.
But people have long been making this discovery and blowing Curry up about it, as he noted in a tweet from 2011.
There's no escaping the stardom, @sdotcurry 😅

More than a decade later, and it’s still happening. That’s star power.
