Obama Schools Curry On Jump Shots, Science, Resumes In New PSA

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- "You don't need this clip art," says President Obama to Stephen Curry, looking over a rough draft of his resume. "Incredible dancer? I don't know if people are going to believe it."

The NBA's Most Valuable Player and the leader of the free world star in a new public service announcement for My Brothers Keeper, an initiative launched by President Obama that promotes mentoring to create opportunities for young men of color.

Curry and Obama are both are naturals and its fun to see them clowning. But jokes aside, it's all for a good cause: "Connecting young people to mentoring, support networks, and the skills they need to find a good job or go to college and work their way into the middle class."

"You don't need to be a NBA star or the President of the United States to be someone's hero," says the tag line.

The PSA aired Saturday before Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals in which the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets 104-78.
