In a world where celebrity collaborations often feel predictable, Stephen Curry and Michelle Obama have come together to prove all of us wrong. They have joined forces not to shoot hoops or champion policy but to quench our thirst with a hydration drink called PLEZi Hydration. This is another in a long list of unlikely celeb collabs in 2025 that we can't seem to wrap our heads around.
Fans react hilariously as Michelle Obama and Stephen Curry collaborate for the hydration drink PLEZi
What are the odds of watching Stephen Curry and Michelle Obama in one frame? One is the Golden State Warriors’ sharpshooting point guard, while the other is a former First Lady, health advocate, and champion of childhood nutrition. Even the thought of their worlds colliding is one of absurd proportions. But they have defied all the odds and come up with a 'game-changing drink', as Curry has called it himself.
The news shook up social media, and users lost their collective minds in the most delightful way possible. The best part of the fan reaction was the way people embraced the sheer absurdity of it all. The unexpected nature of the pairing was surely something that took all of us by surprise, and this sent fans into a frenzy:
"This is the most random duo", joked one fan (via X / @blvckkgrip)
"LeBron got PRIME, Steph got Plezi… the hydration wars are officially heating up", quipped another (via X / @yipfella)
When the announcement dropped about the super collab, fans started cooking up theories and speculations as they memed their way through the mystery. Theories ranged from the venture being borne out of dumb luck or an elaborate prank, while some fans began wondering who would've approached the other first for the potential business venture. There were also plenty of basketball references, as fans debated if the collaboration was intentional or not:
"When you can't get Michael Jordan you get Michael Obama", jested one fan (via X / @Sohsuhh)
"Stephen Curry about to drop 30 points and 30 electrolytes", remarked another (via X / @solmeena)
Stephen Curry and Michelle Obama are entering into a highly saturated (pun not intended) industry where they are already major players. Fans urged the duo to remain on their toes, anticipating a pushback:
"Logan is gonna sue them. only he is allowed to steal ideas", commented one fan (via X / @Angelica_Reed1)
"Man they left Barack out of it", lamented another (via X / @BrewMetaX)
Meanwhile, Barack Obama was probably lurking in the background, taste-testing flavors...
While most fans cheered at the idea of the energy drink and fiercely debated on social media which among PLEZi's 3 hydration drinks was likely to be the best, one fan (@thehalfdoctor) saw it as a golden ticket to mock the idea of the drink and threw shades at Stephen and Michelle:
"Imma start drinking prime just to protest against this lol"
Meanwhile, the agonizing wait for GTA 6 goes on as we really got the collab between Stephen Curry and Michelle Obama before its release!
Stephen Curry and Michelle Obama joining forces for the release of PLEZi is certainly something that caught all of us napping, and the meme crowd took it to absurd heights. While we may never know the real story of how the collab came to fruition, there's one thing fans can't deny: This collab is weirdly perfect. Stephen Curry and Michelle Obama might just be the dynamic duo we never knew we needed.
