The Charlotte Hornets will now have a second Curry gracing their squad.
In one of the biggest moves of this season, Dallas Mavericks point guard Seth Curry switched sides as part of the Mavs’ pre-trade deadline deal with the Charlotte Hornets last week, with PJ Washington returning to Dallas as part of the deal.
The younger brother of Steph Curry arrived at the same team where their father, Dell, the former small forward and a legendary name in the NBA, played for 10 seasons between 1988 and 1998.

On Tuesday, a stunning photoshoot of Seth and Dell took over the basketball fandom on social media by storm. In a clip released by the Hornets’ official X account captioned “Family Ties”, the father-son duo are seen spinning basketballs on their fingers at the same time, with Seth wearing the No. 30 jersey, the same number that Dell donned himself for the Hornets.

“Pops aint got it nomo” – Fans react to Dell and Seth Curry’s photoshoot with spinning basketballs
While it was understandable how Seth would have no problems in spinning the basketball on his finger, the same wasn’t true for Dell, who was having a hard time trying to keep up with his younger son.
As the clip went viral over the internet, many fans came up with some hilarious comments regarding the father-son duo’s photoshoot.
“Dell acting like he ain’t picked up a basketball in months maybe years,” wrote one fan.

During his decade long stint with the Hornets, Dell was mostly known for his off the bench arrivals along with three-point shootings. He clinched the NBA Sixth Man of The Year award in 1994, and after concluding his career with the Toronto Raptors in 2002, retired as the Hornets’ all-time leader in points (9,839) as well as three-point field goals made (929).
