President Barack Obama has teamed with reigningNBA MVP Stephen Curryon a public serviceannouncement calling for Americans to mentoryouth in their community to make a positiveimpact.
The video was shown last Saturday on ABC's "NBACountdown" ahead of Curry's playoff opener with thedefending champion Golden State Warriors againstthe Houston Rockets.
Curry and Obama golfed together last August and Curry also visited the White House with theWarriors in February - and Obama mentioned Curry "clowning" with defenders the way he hadbeen shooting.
The PSA was done through "MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership" and motivated byObama's "My Brother's Keeper" initiative, which raises awareness and calls for action toensure all youth - including young men of color - reach their full potential.
Curry is active in the Bay Area community and committed to making a difference.
After a recent visit to Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary in inner-city Oakland, he said, "Theopportunity, obviously the 15-20 minutes you're with them, I think goes a long way. Justhaving fun with them is the most important. It was very beneficial."
