Steve Kerr using Steph Curry to slam Trump—Is this the right move or just more political drama?

Steve Kerr was sure to bring out ‘the Steph Curry reference’ at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, which began on Monday. As the country gears up for the Presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the bigwigs of the Democratic Party are expected to speak on the opening night of the DNC. But before that, we have the Warriors‘ mastermind with an important public message to America.

Speaking at the convention, the 9x NBA Champion had a rousing oration addressing the Democrats. Before ending his speech, Steve Kerr channelized his inner Steph Curry and brought out the ‘Night Night’ celebration on the stage, after saying, “After the results are tallied that night, we can, in the words of the great Steph Curry, we can tell Donald Trump “Night, Night.”

This isn’t the first time Steve Kerr joined hands with Kamala Harris. A few months ago, the Warrior got on a call with students alongside the Democrats’ Presidential candidate and spoke about gun violence and also warned them about the possible dangers of re-electing Donald Trump, on his second term, as per The Hill. 

Moreover, it’s not just Steve Kerr’s individual support to Kamala Harris, but a collective cheer from the Warriors family. Notably, ahead of the Paris Olympics, Stephen Curry addressed the press and declared the Dubs’ unwavering support to Harris.

The Baby-faced Assassin said, “Very interesting time for our country, for sure. The fact that President Biden gave that endorsement, Vice President Harris, is trying to bring her energy to this campaign. And hopefully, if she’s on the ticket winning the election, it’s a big deal, to say the least.”

“She represents the Bay Area. She’s been a great supporter for us. So we want to give that energy right back to her.” That statement would then bring an obvious question to one’s mind.

Have an interesting take?

What’s Steph Curry and the Warriors’ stand on Donald Trump?

Golden State Warriors have made it clear for a long time. If not for the entire team, Steph Curry, individually has clarified it to the world. Moreover, he was the important factor behind the Dubs’ refusal to meet the then-president after winning the NBA championship in 2017 and 2018. After the 2017 Finals, LeBron James took to his X handle and dropped a post, sharing Curry’s stance on visiting the White House after winning the Championship. Bron wrote, U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!”

In the following year, Steph Curry picked up the mic again ahead of the 2018 Finals, reiterated his stance, and decided not to visit the White House again until Donald Trump left the office. Things then got even more obvious because after winning the 2022 NBA Finals, the Warriors roster visited the White House and met POTUS Joe Biden, kick-starting the tradition once again. With only two months left for the elections, fans may even witness Curry turning up for the events, voicing his support for Kamala Harris.

On the other hand, Steph Curry and Steve Kerr are currently gearing up together for the upcoming season. Do you think the Dubs have the required weapons to win an NBA Championship and reignite the dynasty days? Let us know in the comments below.
