Stephen Curry and his wife are joining the First Lady to celebrate one of the most unsung root vegetables, the turnip, in a new clip posted by Michelle Obama to her Twitter account on Tuesday.

In 2014, Obama celebrated the planting of the brassica vegetable with a parody of Lil Jon and DJ Snake’s anthem "Turn Up For What,” and this year she was joined by the reigning MVP and his wife, future Food Network star, Ayesha Curry.

Could the fibrous vegetable be the source of Curry’s seemingly otherworldly powers? We cannot be sure, but it is worth working a few into your diet and seeing how it affects your jump shot.
