Obama.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            The story begins with a 2017 golf <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> between Obama and Curry, during which the two had a light-hearted conversation about conspiracy theories, including top-secret knowledge of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. (\u201cYou won\u2019t <i>believe<\/i> what the aliens look like,\u201d the 44th president of the United States <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently joked to the NBA star.)<\/p>\n<p>            A year later, however, Obama took exception to Curry\u2019s comments on the Moon landing, which were aired Monday, December 10, 2018 on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YKwV00Bs7Cw\">second episode<\/a> of the Vince Carter-hosted <i>Winging It<\/i> podcast. \u201cThat night, I got an email\u2026 a pretty stern, direct one from President Obama,\u201d Curry tells <i>Rolling Stone<\/i>\u2019s Matt Sullivan. \u201c\u2018You\u2019ve got to do something about this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Curry quickly followed the ex-president\u2019s command. \u201cObviously I was joking when I was talking on the podcast,\u201d he <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/25518468\/stephen-curry-golden-state-warriors-says-joking-moon-landing-accept-nasa-invitation\">told ESPN<\/a> two days later. And over the weekend, he <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D24JB4WTIwo\">went live on Instagram<\/a> with NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to clear the air.<\/p>\n<p>            On January 3, 2019, he took his support for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> a step further, wearing a pair of cratered and American flag-adorned Moon Landing sneakers in a game against the Houston Rockets. He went on to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/2815632-stephen-currys-game-worn-moon-landing-shoes-sell-for-58100-at-auction\">sell the shoes for $58,100<\/a> on eBay and donate the proceeds to STEM programs at Bay Area schools.<\/p>\n<p>            Curry has become more politically active in recent years. He\u2019d already refused to attend a proposed White House championship ceremony in 2017, drawing the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> ire of then-president Donald Trump. And in 2020, he recommitted to his position, endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 and speaking on the importance of voting with his wife Ayesha at that year\u2019s (virtual) Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            In the <i>Rolling Stone<\/i> interview, Curry discusses the factors he considered before making the speech. \u201cWe weren\u2019t sure, more so from a faith perspective, especially around abortion,\u201d he tells Sullivan. \u201cWhen you endorse a president, you have a lot of noise comin\u2019 at you: \u2018Daughter killer! Baby killer!\u2019\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009That\u2019s the fine line of knowing the beast of politics, where, especially when we\u2019re talking about presidential elections, being active is more important than the understanding that, with every candidate, there\u2019s not a full, down-the-ballot agreement on everything that they do.\u201d When asked more directly, he declines to pick a side in the abortion debate.<\/p>\n<p>            Elsewhere in the article, Curry discusses his relationship with Kevin Durant, who left Golden State after their 2018 championship season and in late June requested a trade from his current team, the Brooklyn Nets, before deciding to stay put. He says he discussed Durant returning to the Warriors with his younger brother Seth, the Nets shooting guard, saying he\u2019d be open to the move despite past differences.<\/p>\n<p>            \u201cThe idea of playing with KD and knowing who he is as a person, from our history in those three years, I think KD\u2019s a really good dude,\u201d he tells Sullivan. \u201cI think he has had certain things happen in his life that hurt his ability to trust people around him, in a sense of making him feel safe at all times. So all of those things, I understand, having played with him and gotten to know him. I love that dude. And if you said, \u2018Oh, KD\u2019s coming back, and we\u2019re gonna play with him,\u2019 I had so much fun playing with him those three years, I\u2019d be like, \u2018Hell, yeah!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Raphael Helfand<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
