Rev. Jesse Jackson on hand to support Stephen Curry

Reverand Jesse Jackson was in Oakland for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, on hand to root on the Warriors’ star guard, Stephen Curry.

Jackson, who said he’s known Curry since the player was a young child, spoke briefly with the Warriors’ leader prior to warm-ups, shaking his hand and offering words of encouragement.

Curry ran onto the court and proceeded to sink shot after shot, like he normally does. Apparently, there are no ill side effects from the scary fall Curry endured during Game 4 of the series against the Houston Rockets.
