The ambition of Stephen Curry It doesn't have a roof. The base of Golden State Warriorsfour-time champion of the NBA and double MVP in the regular season, now he looks to a political future and “perhaps” to the presidency of USA. This was expressed in his last interview, in which he was subjected to a questionnaire after which he ended up revealing his interest in politics and the possibility on the horizon of being president of the country of 50 stars.
“I'm interested in using every bit of my influence to do good, as much as I can, and if that's the way to do it…” Curry began by confessing. The American star has a very good relationship with Barack Obamapresident for eight years, whom he frequently accompanied on his golf games and made more than one visit to the White House along with the rest of his family.
His dealings with Donald Trump It wasn't the same. Curry was always very critical of him, and even refused to attend the traditional reception of the NBA champions in 2017, a decision that aroused the president's anger, who quickly withdrew his invitation and went on the attack through the medium he I handled social media better.
Currently, eight months before a new election, Curry dropped the bomb about his political intentions. “I'm not going to say the presidency, but I am going to say politics…” said the basketball player. At this moment, the CBS journalist asked him about the issue of the presidency and he got out of it in the following way: «Yes, maybe. “If you can create meaningful change through politics, or if there is a way to do it outside of it.”
Curry and his political opinions
Even so, Curry did not set deadlines and at 35 years old he ruled out running for election in 2028: “Not so early.” What he did not refuse is the option of being a candidate one day, since when he was asked again if he did not rule it out, he responded again with a “no.” Looking ahead to these elections, in which the current president, Joe Bidenwill meet again with Trump, the base made his position quite clear in an interview with the Rolling Stone.
«Most of his rhetoric, before he was president, during his four years and even now, if he tries again, has a divisive tone that should have no place in our country. “As serious and loud as the threat is, from him or anyone else running for president, there should be a similar urgency and necessary noise on the other side,” he stated flatly about Trump's attitude.
The NBA once again strengthened ties with the White House after Biden's victory in 2021 and on the threshold of new elections, Curry flirted more than ever with his more than possible role in politics in the future. But the reality for the Warriors star is to recover as soon as possible from his sprained ankle. A priori he will exercise again next Friday before visiting the Lakers on Saturday, a decisive match, as both franchises are stuck in the battle for the play in from Western Conference.
