NBA stars team up for anti-gun violence PSA

Fans and non-fans alike may recall when her dad, Stephen Curry, and the Golden State Warriors were en route to the NBA title earlier this year, and there was the then-2-year-old Riley, the girl who won the hearts of many when she stole the show at her dad’s post-game press conferences.

This PSA also features New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah and Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul.

The Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund collaborated with the NBA and Spike Lee to create the public service announcement on ending gun violence.

In addition to the NBA stars, the ad also includes gun violence survivors that are part of the Everytown Survivor Network.

“You can go around the corner and get a gun, you can go to this person and get a gun — it’s just too easy, too accessible,” Anthony said.

“Throughout my career in New Orleans, Los Angeles, and traveling around the country, I’ve seen that gun violence is ending more than just lives — it’s ending hope for a lot of people,” said the Clippers’ Paul.

But as much as he loves the city, Noah said, the biggest issue is the gun violence and that “the access to the guns is out of control.”
