Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is one of the most famous people in sports, but Jessica Benton of Quincy, Illinois, didn't know who he was.

She didn't know, that is, until someone saw a photo of her 10-month-old son Landon on social media and pointed out his resemblance to the NBA MVP.

At first, Jessica wasn't thrilled, particularly because of an Internet-bred nickname, "Stuff Curry."

According to ESPN.com's Darren Rovell, Benton said:

I'm not going to let them fat shame my baby and put it all over online and I just give up there. I wanted to really turn it into something good and take control of it and say, "OK, we're gonna own this name. Yeah, we're Stuff Curry. We look like the famous basketball player."

Much of the response to Landon has been positive. His Instagramaccount, run by his mother, now has over 37,000 followers. Benton also said folks have contacted her with positive messages about her son, and Under Armour even sent young Landon some tiny Curry Twos.

The family still isn't big into basketball, but Benton said of the Warriors, "I'm rooting for them to win everything."
