Barack Obama and Stephen Curry attended the Obama Foundation’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance and, following being quizzed regarding childhood hardships, Obama made a joke regarding Curry’s ankles. While Curry’s potentially career-ending ankle injury in 2011 is no laughing matter, Obama managed to make the athlete laugh with his lighthearted joke.
