Steph Curry is dope. Literally. The man is fucking dope right now. No, I don't think you understand. He's actually, like, a strand of heroin being sold in Philly, according to SEPTA Police Chief Thomas J. Nestel III.

Nestel tweeted out a photo recently that proves that dealers are printing out little pictures of Steph and his name to brand their latest shipment of scag. And maybe Nestel knows Curry well, because his tweet, "Thinking Steph Curry wouldn't be happy that he is this week's brand for heroin in Philly," is just too perfect. Steph, churchy God-botherer that he is, would be absolutely devastated to see his name tarnished by that China White.

But Steph isn't the first NBA star to get his name slapped on a baggie of boy. Yup, sometime around four years ago, LeBron James' name and visage were smattered across packets of that dirty chicle—also sold in Philly. Only question is how they pronounce the name of that particular brand of Hellen.

(PSA time: despite the fun nicknames, heroin is brutal stuff, and it's always good to check yourself with people who are good at listening.)
