Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry won a woke NBA award this week for “uplifting communities by fostering equity and creating access to opportunity” despite his efforts to block a low-income housing community from being built near his mansion.
The NBA announced in a statement that Curry won the 2022-23 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion award after being selected from a group of five finalists.
The statement said that he uses his platform as a co-chair of former First Lady Michelle Obama’s “When We All Vote” initiative to drive voter registration, education, and turnout in elections.
