Basketball star Stephen Curry, who shares ties to Charlotte with the Panthers, will bang the Keep Pounding drum at the start of Super Bowl 50.

The Golden State Warriors point guard, who played for Davidson College and is the son of former Charlotte Hornets player Dell Curry, told si.com that he has a custom-made T-shirt ready for his big appearance. But the Panthers tweeted a photo of a Curry jersey hanging in their locker room.
