As the U.S. men's Olympic basketball team readies for exhibition games in Abu Dhabi, coach Steve Kerr and player Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors expressed sadness and concern following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. A 20-year-old gunman shot at Trump during a rally, injuring him and killing two people. Kerr, who lost his father to gun violence, condemned the incident and emphasized the importance of representing the country positively at the Olympics. Curry echoed Kerr's sentiments, calling for stricter gun control and emphasizing the need for positivity and hope in the wake of the tragedy. Both players stressed the importance of unity and dignity in the face of political division and gun violence. Today is indeed a somber time, but through advocacy and positive action, they hope to contribute to a better future for the country.
