Stephen Curry as POTUS? John Calipari makes a wild statement and positions himself as an ambassador
Does the Golden State Warriors legend have a future in politics? The Arkansas Razorbacks head coach believes so.
After watching Donald Trump turn his entertainment and business career into a highly successful stint in the political world, calls for other celebrities to run for the presidency have never been higher. Even sports show talking head Stephen A. Smith has considered making a run.
Professional athletes are no strangers to those calls. The most charismatic of them have been told to give it a go if the opportunity arises. So far, it hasn't, but could Stephen Curry be the one to break the sports-political landscape? That's what John Calipari thinks could happen in the future - or at least that's what he wants to see .
John Calipari says Steph Curry is the one NBA player he wants to see get into politics
The current Arkansas Razorbacks head coach was recently stopped for a short interview by TMZ's Jacob Wasserman , who asked Calipari which NBA player he thinks should run for political office .
Steph Curry. But he would never do it. But he would be good because he cares about people. Really bright, energetic, has his beliefs and what he believes in, he’s going after. He’d be great... Whatever he wants, if he’s president, I want to be the ambassador to the Vatican. That’d be good.
Curry has spoken previously about the possibility of getting into politics. While explaining that he wants to help people by using his influence for good, he mentioned that " if politics is a way that you can create meaningful change or if there’s another way outside of politics ", then he'd be happy to try it out.
