Can you imagine Stephen Curry running for president someday?

Stephen Curry and Barack Obama

Stephen Curry will already go down in history as one of the best NBA players of all time, he is already considered the best shooter in the league’s history. But as time keeps moving forward, he is not getting any younger and he is already starting to think about his career after sports. Many NBA stars have opted to move onto media outlets, Stephen Curry’s father became one of the most successful and prominent analysts out there. Others take the route of becoming business moguls such as Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan. Others do both things, like Shaquille O’Neal. But there still haven’t been any NBA stars who expressed their wishes to run for office, until Stephen Curry did it recently.

These statements need to be added some context to them, especially if you look at the Golden State Warriors star’s closest circle. Steph has been close friends with none other than former president Barack Obama, they golf together on the regular. If he ran for any type of office, Stephen Curry would probably do it for the Democratic party sinnce the former president represents that party. If he ever thinks about doing it, there is no chance he would either this year or four years from now. It’s a little too soon for him to make such a dramatic career change. Here is what he said on CBS Mornings: “Maybe. I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in any way that I can, so if that’s the way to do it, then. In 2028? Not that soon!”

The reactions to this announcement were quick to follow with the already familiar divide in the country. While all the democratic supporters think this wold be a fantastic idea, republicans are already going at Stephen Curry’s yugular. This is just more of the same story of how divided the country is. Perhaps the Warriors’ legend should sit down and really think about making this decision down the line. Trying to run for president will inevitably turn him into a polarizing figure whether he likes it or not. He also needs to think about the kind of life his family will lead if he goes down this path.
