On Thursday, Stephen Curry made one of the most significant moves of his career. It was not the one that would affect an NBA game. Neither was it the one that would add to his career numbers. But it was something that was much bigger.
His interview with Dr. Fauci in an Instagram live video had a lot of information that the world needs during the ongoing pandemic.
Eventually, Curry‘s efforts seemed to have reached the audience it deserves. While it already had close to 50000 love viewers, there were much more later. According to a stat, the video got a viewership of 10.6 years across 146 countries.

The NBA has been inactive for over two weeks now. While everybody understands the current situation, they also want the pandemic to die down and the sporting action to resume. During his interview with Dr. Fuci, Curry asked about when the sporting events and large gatherings can resume.

“We can start thinking about getting back some degree of normality when the country as a whole is turning that corner and start coming down. Then you can pinpoint cases much more easily than getting overwhelmed by cases,” Fuci said.
