Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has a positive image when it comes to family values. There are many videos on the internet which showcased the loving father figure, which Steph’s fan rarely see. On the other hand, a question arises: who sets the rules for the kids in the Curry household? Well, the answer is the grandparents. Interestingly, the same goes with the former president of the US, Barack Obama. Moreover, they both discussed the role of grandparents in raising kids in a 2022 interview.
Obama and Steph have a very close bond. Especially after the Warriors team’s frequent visit to the White House in the last decade. As a basketball fan from the 90s, Obama didn’t hesitate to troll Steph & Co and express his love for the Chicago Bulls during a visit after 2015 championship. Leaving the banters aside, they often come in contact and share a few words with the public via interviews.

In 2022, Stephen Curry and Barack Obama once again came in contact with an interview centered on the ex-president’s memoir, A Promised Land. The duo discussed various aspects of the 62-year-old ex-POTUS’ personal and professional journey. During the conversation, Obama brought it an interesting take. He added, “You know grandparents can be lifesavers…” Steph instantly agreed to it and took the conversation ahead.
He highlighted how the grandparents help to humble their kids despite their celebrity status. The Dubs superstar said, “They carry the same temperament and perspective… you have the highest office in the land… but your kids don’t have them.” Following, 2x US president went on to narrate a story of his mother-in-law humbling her grandkids. He even mimicked her words.
He said, “You all do understand you haven’t done nothing y’all have just a long run if you get elected president someday maybe one day you can tell me what to do.”
