Draymond Green, Who Vowed to Ignore Political Garbage, Tells America Key Detail of Stephen Curry’s Presidential Campaign

Stephen Curry stunned the NBA world after he hinted at a possible career in politics. Curry sat down for an interview with CBS Mornings to promote his new children’s book, I Am Extraordinary. During the interview, Steph revealed that he would be open to joining politics and even running for President if that was the way to bring meaningful change. Following Curry’s statement, the internet dug up his teammate Draymond Green’s 2020 interview, revealing a key detail about the Presidential campaign.

Draymond did not vote in the 2016 Presidential elections because he believed it did not matter. However, Green soon realized his mistake and vowed to make amends in the upcoming elections. In a 2020 interview with Andscape, Draymond revealed how he educated himself about the importance of voting. “When you look at the voting numbers, a lot of young people didn’t turn out, myself being one of them, and especially a lot of young African American people. And it’s taken me to get educated to understand how important it is for us to exercise our right to vote and not listen to the garbage that’s being put out there and giving us all the false reasons that we can’t vote.” Green said.

The Warriors Forward joined 4-time Champion LeBron James’ More Than A Vote initiative ahead of the 2020 elections. The group aimed at protecting the voting rights of African Americans and motivating them to cast a vote in the upcoming elections. Draymond added, “If we all sit back and say, ‘I’m only one vote, it don’t matter,’ then we end up with results like we ended up with the last election that put our country in the place where it is today.”

Draymond Green and Stephen Curry are aware of their social responsibility

With the 2024 Presidential elections scheduled later this year, Draymond is likely to cast his vote, knowing how important it could be. Draymond and Steph realize that their social responsibility lies beyond playing basketball. With millions of people following what they do and say every day, the Warriors superstars are blessed with a platform to bring change in society. When asked about potentially running for President, Steph said, “Maybe, I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in the way that I can.”

Draymond also had the same sentiment during his 2020 interview, “We want to use our platforms to help spread knowledge, to help everyone in our community that looks up to us, that watches us, have a better understanding of why it’s necessary that they get out and vote.” Their primary focus is to bring positive change in society and educate people about the power they hold with their vote.
