Dwyane Wade Backs Stephen Curry’s Probable Political Campaign Despite Strong Aversion

Published 03/23/2024, 1:19 PM EDT

Stephen Curry’s three-point shot may be legendary, but whispers of a different kind of three-point shot swirled around the NBA champion: a run for political office. While Curry hasn’t confirmed the rumors himself, close friend Dwyane Wade has offered some interesting insights.

Known as an outspoken social activist, Wade is adamantly disinterested in politics. “You won’t see me running for politics,” he declared during a recent keynote speech. But in a surprising move, Wade revealed that he would wholeheartedly support Curry’s political ambitions.

Perhaps “Strong distaste” about politics is the understatement of Wade’s career. The NBA veteran has previously criticized American politics as partisan and called for more unity and solidarity. So why the change for his friend Steph? Maybe the answer lies in their deep connection.

What office Curry might target is just speculation at this point. Investigators’ reports indicate that a community facility is a storage facility. This dovetails with Curry’s community-focused activism, such as his work on childhood obesity and educational equity through his foundation.

While Curry stays tight-lipped about his political ambitions, Wade’s comments have certainly fueled the fire. The idea of a charismatic NBA superstar advocating for social change in a political arena is undeniably captivating. Only time will tell if Curry will take the court or the campaign trail, but Wade’s unwavering support hints at a potential political move on the horizon.
