Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry questions Trump, Under Armour ties

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has expressed concern over Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank calling President Donald Trump an “asset” to the country in a CNBC interview.

Curry, who grew up in Charlotte and starred for Davidson College, told the San Jose Mercury News’ Marcus Thompson, “I agree with that description, if you remove the ‘et’ ” from “asset.”

Curry has close ties to Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, the first African-American to hold the office. Curry and his father, Charlotte Hornets color analyst Dell Curry, have played golf with Obama often during Curry’s off-seasons.
