A lot of people in Singapore were taken by surprise recently when they thought they saw basketball superstars LeBron James and Stephen Curry riding the MRT. As it turns out, they weren’t the real athletes, but rather famous impersonators.

These two content creators from the Philippines, known as Lebwrong Ng Pinas and Stepping Carry, were just in town for a short visit. They had come from an event in Indonesia and were making a quick stop in Singapore. It’s no wonder their presence caused a stir among commuters who initially believed they were seeing the actual NBA players.
The man who impersonates LeBron, “Lebwrong,” is a 198cm-tall Cameroonian. The Stephen Curry impersonator, “Stepping Carry,” is 162cm tall. They made sure to wear their respective players’ jerseys, which added to the illusion.
Besides riding the MRT, they also went to some of Singapore’s most famous spots. They were seen at Jewel Changi Airport and Merlion Park, and they even took a ride on the Changi Airport Skytrain. It seems they had a good time exploring the city’s key attractions.
“Lebwrong” shared pictures of their visit on his Instagram. A video of them on the MRT also became very popular on TikTok, with many people leaving comments expressing their shock and confusion.
