Steph Curry doesn't like talking politics. However, when Kevin Plank, CEO for Under Armour (a company Curry endorses) voiced his support for President Donald Trump on CNBC this week, Curry felt it a good time to express concern.

Referencing Plank's statement that Trump is an "asset" to American businesses, Curry gave the Mercury News a bit of a surprise by delivering a sick burn.

"I agree with that description," Curry said, "if you remove the -et."

Curry went on to say that he "spent all day yesterday on the phone" with many different Under Armour people trying to assess "where everybody stood on the issue."

Plank reportedly told him that his sentiments were exclusively related to Trump's business policies and not an endorsement of all of his beliefs, which seemed to assuage the situation.

Then on Wednesday, after facing backlash for Plank's comments, Under Armour released a statement saying the company focuses on "policy, not politics," and believes in "advocating for fair trade, an inclusive immigration policy that welcomes the best and the brightest and those seeking opportunity in the great tradition of our country, and tax reform that drives hiring to help create new jobs."

For now, Curry is sticking by the brand, saying if Under Armour or any company was "not in line" with his beliefs, he'd sever ties.

"If there is a situation where I can look at myself in the mirror and say they don't have my best intentions, they don't have the right attitude about taking care of people," Curry said. "If I can say the leadership is not in line with my core values, then there is no amount of money, there is no platform I wouldn't jump off if it wasn't in line with who I am."
