Steph Curry protest: Curry protests with his wife Ayesha Curry and Warriors teammates

Curry has been open about his dislike for the US President and has also been actively participating in speaking up about George Floyd's death two weeks ago. Curry was among the first few NBA stars to speak up by posting a photo of George Floyd with Derek Chauvin's knee pressed against his. Curry has since then participated in Blackout Tuesday last week and also posted a video of the protest he was a part of.

Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevon Looney and Damion Lee attended a protest organized by Juan Toscano Anderson in Oakland on Wednesday last week. Curry's wife, Ayesha Curry, was also a part of the peaceful protest. Other people at the 'Walk in Unity' protest uploaded photos of the Warriors star kneeling and chanting in Floyd's name. Two weeks ago, George Floyd was killed by a police officer, who pressed his knee against Floyd's neck for over eight minutes. Floyd's protests of not being able to breathe went unheard and Chauvin stopped only after Floyd went still. His death caused the USA to start protesting and promoting the Black Lives Matter movement.
