Mark Cuban and the Mavs have a ridiculous nickname for Seth Curry
Seth Curry is starting to make a name for himself – outside of just being Steph Curry’s younger brother. The Dallas Mavericks guard has scored 20-plus points in each of his past four games and is averaging a career-best 12.9 points per game this season.
Mavericks outspoken owner Mark Cuban has definitely taken notice of the younger Curry, who signed a two-year, $6 million deal last summer. Cuban was singing the 26-year-old’s praises before his 22-point output in Dallas’ 104-89 win over the Thunder on Sunday and revealed the team’s nickname for Curry.
"We want him to be forever," Cuban said, via ESPN. "He's our kind of guy -- shoots, plays hard defensively, great in the locker room. We call him Swaggy Swag. High swag level, low volume level. Those kind of guys are good. Swaggy Swag's a keeper."
Swaggy Swag? Doesn't have the same ring as Steph's Chef Curry nickname. Probably not Curry’s first choice, but if he continues to put up big games, they might opt for something a bit better.
