Stephen Curry, President Obama star in mentoring PSA

Approximately 15 minutes before the Golden State Warriors tipped off their first-round series against the Houston Rockets on Saturday afternoon, the NBA Countdown on ABC aired a public service announcement featuring Stephen Curry and President Obama.

It was far from the first meeting between the two, but it may have been the most important.

The PSA focused on the importance of mentoring, and challenged viewers to make an impact on the life of a young person by taking the initiative to become a mentor. It was aired as a part of MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership's "In Real Life" campaign, which goes hand-in-hand with President Obama's "My Brother's Keeper" initiative, which also focuses on the the influence that becoming a mentor can have on keeping children on the right track.

The entire post can be seen on the official Facebook page for the White House.
