Stephen Curry’s good deeds earn him visit with President Obama



WASHINGTON — Stephen Curry was invited to the White House and was shuttled all around the 18-acre complex for reasons more far-reaching than basketball.

But while the Warriors’ point guard continued his lives-altering fight to prevent malaria, he also managed to take some notes that might come in handy if he leads his franchise to its first NBA title since 1975.

“I found the room where the ceremony takes place, so I’ll be able to lead (the team) right there,” Curry said after a “big-eyed” day on which he met President Obama, got a behind-the-scenes tour of the White House, and addressed a crowd of movers and shakers in the nation’s capital.

Curry got a 30-minute tour, which was highlighted by some couch-cuddling with the first dogs, Bo and Sunny.

in a TNT interview last February and said he’d be back to see him again soon.


Remember, the man knows his b-ball. Barry Obama played on a Hawai'i state championship team at Punahou.
