Steph Curry's Face Used On Heroin Bags in Philly
By Ryan Mayer
Stephen Curry is one the most most recognizable faces among professional athletes today. That recognition has earned him sponsorship by many companies looking to capitalize on his marketability to sell their product. Recently, Curry's face has been found on a product that he definitely wouldn't endorse: heroin.
According to a photo posted on Twitter by Thomas Nestel, the chief of SEPTA's transit police, drug dealers in Philadelphia have placed Curry's face on bags of heroin.

As you can see from the picture, it would appear that paper with Curry's face surrounded by his name was put into small plastic bags that would then presumably be used to transport and sell the drugs.
