American point guard and captain of the Stars and Stripes basketball team, Stephen Curry, has hinted at his support for the country’s vice president, Kamala Harris, in her race to replace Joe Biden as the new Democratic candidate in the presidential elections and her subsequent confrontation with Donald Trump.
Curry has played his entire professional NBA career in California, the state Kamala Harris is also from. When asked about this vital connection with the US vice president, he said he is confident Harris will bring her “energy” to the presidential campaign and that, “with a little luck,” she will be on the winning ticket.
“It’s huge,” Curry said during the press conference for the captains of the US men’s basketball team. He also recalled that he represents “the Bay Area,” referring to the San Francisco area, and that he has been a great supporter of his team, the Golden State Warriors, so he hopes to return the same help.
The best three-point shooter in NBA history described the coming months for the United States as “monumental” and argued that it is “a good time to unite the country” and that, given “how divided the country is,” everything is “positive energy” for Kamala Harris.
Stephen Curry’s comments come ahead of the opening of the Paris Olympic Games and after the controversy that already arose at the European Championships in men’s football following statements by Mbappé and Thuram to ask young people to vote against the extreme right led by Marine Le Pen in France.
At that time, the French Real Madrid footballer called on two occasions for a vote against the far right at “a crucial moment” and because, he said, “we need to identify with our values, which are values of diversity, tolerance and respect.” Something that was questioned by the Spanish national team goalkeeper, Unai Simón, who asked that political issues be left “to others.”
