He said, "It never feels normal to say you're friends with the president and the First Lady, but it's special. It started with one of my college buddies who did a fundraiser at Davidson.

Then, I joined the council and did a couple of panels and speeches at Capitol Hill, and got to go to the Oval Office for the first time."

The Golden State Warriors icon further mentioned, "Then, I think it turned out that we got to play golf with him when we went to Martha's Vineyard one year and spent some more time with both him and Michelle. It's special. Every time I talk to him, he's asking something about the game, and I'm like, oh, he knows because he's been watching."Stephen Curry revealed meeting Barack Obama for the first time through his support of the Nothing But Nets organization's work to prevent malaria in East Africa. Back in 2016, when the Warriors won the NBA championship, Barack Obama praised the baby-faced assassin’s leadership and athletic prowess.
