NBA star Stephen Curry has caused a deep divide with his shocking statement: “I don’t like having many ‘poor’ neighbors”. When the reason is known, the argument becomes even more heated

Stephen Curry and his family have just “settled down” in a mansion worth tens of millions of dollars. But his family’s living space is in danger of being disrupted when the local government has agreed to build more houses in this inherently quiet neighborhood. Now is the time for the basketball star, who is considered an American “treasure”, to show his influence.

Oppose the construction of more houses in residential areas

Stephen Curry’s family has just sold the mansion they have lived in since 2019 for $31 million to move to a super mansion in Atherton, the most expensive and luxurious town in California. The average real estate price in Atherton is up to 7 million USD/unit, the highest in the state. The new place gives him and his family a living space described as “absolutely fresh”, with rich vegetation and extremely romantic views.

The scenery here is very pleasing to his wife Ayesha. Being an amateur writer and owning a leading culinary channel on YouTube, of course Ayesha needs a space that is romantic and quiet enough for her family life as well as her work.

For Curry, he likes this house first of all because it offers maximum peace and privacy. Surrounding the mansion are trees that completely cover his family’s living space. From a distance, passersby can barely see where Curry’s house is located on the property. For him and his wife, this is the perfect living space.

However, Ayesha and Curry are facing the risk of disillusionment when the local government has voted to build more houses in their family’s neighborhood. Among them, more than 10 houses will spring up around 23 Oakwood, where her and her husband’s mansion is located.

That means the space around Curry’s house will no longer be as pristine as before. Even when many houses are built, they will face a “view” directly into Curry’s mansion, causing the private life of him and his wife to be turned upside down, not to mention his wife’s work will also be affected.

Not wanting the living environment to be violated, America’s top star wrote a letter to the residential management board, requesting to cancel the project. He even gave a controversial message, emphasizing his “disapproval when the number of middle- and low-income families increases in the community”.

Curry also expressed concerns about his family’s safety and privacy, and asked families who build houses around his land to “design a landscape that does not violate our privacy.” .

Curry and his wife did not forget to “threaten” the neighbors that they would sue the case to a higher level, and at the same time expressed their dissatisfaction with the residential management board because when his family first arrived, they promised to protect the living space status quo but after a while “changed its mind” for profit.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the Curry couple’s actions are controversial. The majority criticized both for their “hypocrisy.” They often stand up to protect the rights of the underprivileged in American society but do not accept being neighbors with families “poorer” than themselves.

However, the Los Angeles Times commented that with his influence and widespread voice, this basketball star could completely hinder the project, or at least “minimize the number of apartments built” around it. around his mansion.

Stephen Curry – basketball revolutionary

That shows Curry’s power and voice. At this time, people wonder why Curry has such great influence and wealth? Even the star born in 1988 is considered a “treasure” of American sports.

All thanks to his natural 3-shooting talent. Since appearing, Curry has continuously broken 3-point shooting records in the NBA, the most famous and toughest basketball tournament in the world. He constantly brought the Golden State Warriors team to glory to become the number one legend of this basketball club.

Not only within the Golden State Warriors, Curry is also a legend in the NBA as well as the basketball world. Because thanks to him, the revolution with the orange ball took place. In the past, 3-point shooting (throwing from beyond the furthest arc) in basketball was a luxury concept. No matter how good a star is, he or she usually only makes a maximum of 5 successful 3-pointers per game.

But since the inspiration of Curry’s sharp shooting ability, 3-pointers have reached a new standard. It is no longer rare for a player to bounce the basket from the farthest line 10 times or more per match, making the matches more exciting and the scores higher.

A top career allows Curry to live a royal life

Thanks to Curry, the role of ball-dribbling defenders has also become more important. Having only appeared in the NBA for more than a decade, this 34-year-old star has truly changed the face of this nearly 100-year-old tournament.

He changed the NBA, in turn this tournament also changed his position. Thanks to his talent, charisma and exemplary life, Curry quickly became one of the highest-paid sports athletes in the NBA and America.

He has a 5-year contract with the Golden State Warriors, receiving nearly 50 million USD/year. Although many young stars are rising, breaking new limits of the salary ceiling, Curry is still quite firmly in the top 3 best-compensated basketball players in the world.

Along with that are huge sponsorship contracts, helping him accumulate a fortune of nearly 200 million USD. This player is quite secretive about his behind-the-scenes life. All people know about him is that he has a quiet, peaceful family, an exemplary parent in educating their children, and enthusiastically participates in community activities.

But after the recent controversy, perhaps Stephen Curry’s exemplary images will lose some of their value….
