“I have certain beliefs that not everyone agrees with,” Curry said in his new Rolling Stone cover story.
The 34-year-old athlete graced the cover of October’s Rolling Stone magazine, which focused on the athlete’s ongoing efforts to use her influence for change while navigating complex public perceptions of being an athlete.
“I have certain beliefs that not everyone agrees with,” the Golden State Warriors star told the magazine. “As long like there is equality, in the sense that you have all your property rights and rights as a citizen, that should be a deficient standard for everyone to hold. The 2022 NBA Finals MVP has changed. One during his time in the league, but Curry admits he regrets more controversial moments. Including his team’s response to the Donald Sterling scandal.
In 2014, Sterling’s then-owner of the LA Clippers was ban from the league. After a recording of him making derogatory remarks about black people.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver later banned him and encouraged other team owners to pressure him into selling the Clippers.
When the tape was release, Curry and the Warriors were in the middle of a playoff series against Sterling’s team. And Bay Area basketball players were intent on boycotting the game. Instead, Curry took a backseat as his friend, and clipper Chris Paul had his frustrated team throw their pre-match jerseys in midfield.
“It was a moment we take advantage of more than anything we can say. Since then, he said that Curry has learned from the decision and is now considering a deeper understanding of his platform when speaking openly about politics. “You grow and thrive on the same page as this politicized national conversation, but you don’t have to take sides. I’m trying to be real, but also facilitate conversations that are sometimes awkward.”
