Warriors' Stephen Curry Says He'd Consider Career in Politics After Retiring from NBA | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Mia Morrison We've never seen the U.S. president sign bills 30 feet from the Resolute Desk, but it might be possible one day if a certain NBA star enters into the world of politics.
In an interview with Jericka Duncan of CBS Mornings, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry didn't rule out a run for public office one day.
CBS Mornings @CBSMornings.<a href="">@StephenCurry30</a> wants to help kids find their inner confidence with his book, "I Am Extraordinary."<br><br>He tells <a href="">@jerickaduncan</a> about his focus on children's literacy and his potential post-basketball future: "I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good." <a href="">
"I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in the way that I can," he said.
Curry added politics would theoretically be one way in which he could effect "meaningful change," though he's open to other avenues as well. He did at least rule out embarking on a political career in time for the 2028 election cycle.
The two-time NBA MVP and his Warriors teammates famously drew the ire of President Donald Trump when they didn't want to visit the White House to celebrate their 2017 NBA title. That prompted the legendary post from Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James calling Trump a "bum."
LeBron James @KingJamesU bum <a href="">@StephenCurry30</a> already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!
Were he to plan his own quest for the White House one day, we can safely assume who his running mate would be.
