Steph Curry pushes back on Trump’s claim that he’s done most for Black people since Lincoln

Folks won’t have to wait much longer to find out who the next president of the United States will be. On Tuesday — Election Day in the country — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry responded to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s audacious claim that he’s done more for the Black community than any president since Abraham Lincoln.

Curry has publicly endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. According to the Warriors guard, he supports Harris partly because of her stance on abortions, which is to give women the right to make decisions about their bodies.

Back in early October, he also spoke on the privilege of being able to support Harris in her quest to become the first female president in the history of the country.

“Obviously, supporting her is an honor,” Curry said of Harris. “A sophisticated leader that I expect and have confidence that she can lead our country and provide obviously hope, inspiration, unity. Obviously, there’s a lot of tough conversations that need to be addressed in our country and a lot of progress that needs to be made.”

No NBA games will be played on Tuesday, which means that Curry will have a brief reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the regular season. But Curry and the Warriors have given fans of the team a lot to write home about so far this season.

After plenty of question marks surrounded the team heading into the campaign once Golden State lost Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in the offseason, the Warriors look rejuvenated to this point. They have one of the best records in the Western Conference at 6-1, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are the lone team in the conference with a superior record at 7-0.

An interesting wrinkle regarding the Warriors’ hot start to the season is that Curry has already been sidelined for three games with an ankle injury. The Warriors played the New Orleans Pelicans twice and Houston Rockets once sans probably their best player and came out on top in all three of those contests.

Golden State’s decision to trade for Buddy Hield in the offseason has aged beautifully thus far, as he may be one of the early favorites to capture the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award. In seven games played (one start), he’s averaging a career-high 21.9 points per contest on 50.0 percent shooting from deep and 51.4 percent from the field.
