Las Vegas, Nevada — A nostalgic 1990s Burger King commercial featuring a young Steph Curry and his father, Dell Curry, has recently gone viral after resurfacing online. The commercial highlights the early stages of Steph Curry’s journey to becoming one of the NBA’s most marketable stars.
In the ad, Dell Curry, a former NBA player, provides young Steph with advice on achieving greatness in basketball, emphasizing the importance of hunger and drive. The commercial is part of a series of Burger King ads from that decade, which also included appearances by Steph’s younger brother, Seth Curry. A memorable line from Steph in the ad is, “Bring home the bacon, Dad!”
Throughout his career, Steph Curry has appeared in over 262 commercials, endorsing brands such as Subway, Under Armour, CarMax, Rakuten, and Brita. He credits his early experiences in these ads for his success as a pitchman.
In an interview with ABC 7 News-Bay Area Sports Anchor Chris Alvarez, Curry reflected on his growth as a commercial actor. “My lines have picked up tremendously, so that’s big,” he said.
As Steph Curry competes for Team USA in the Olympics this summer, he acknowledges the valuable lessons he learned from his father, both on and off the court. This classic example of “like father, like son” showcases how Dell Curry’s influence helped shape Steph’s career, both as a basketball player and a commercial spokesperson.
