'What the pop culture world these days calls 'social justice' is built on contradictions and hypocrisies, and none of the finalists embody that more than Stephen Curry.' -ZacharyFaria

Curry is the biggest star included among the finalists and one of the faces of the NBA. By being named a finalist, he has already won $25,000 for an organization of his choice. If he is named the winner, that number would increase to $100,000, and he would be recognized as the “social justice champion” of the NBA.

“We kindly ask that the town adopts the new housing element without the inclusion of 23 Oakwood,” Curry wrote in a letter to the town in reference to the housing plan. Build whatever housing you want, but just don’t put any of those icky poor people in affordable housing near his mansion. On top of that, Curry is also among the NBA’s top activists who go completely silent the moment his, and the league’s, business ties with China are brought up. Curry said he “didn’t know enough about Chinese history” to condemn China’s Communist government snuffing out freedom in Hong Kong, nor did he have any comment on one of the team’s minority-share owners saying he does not care that China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs.

If the “social justice champion” award were a serious one, Curry would not have been a finalist. But, in a way, no one deserves to win it more than he. What the pop culture world these days calls"social justice" is built on contradictions and hypocrisies, and none of the finalists embody that more than Stephen Curry.
