NBA Champion and Golden State Warriors Coach, Steve Kerr, made a surprising appearance at the Democratic National Convention where he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election. Speaking in front of a crowd of 26,000 attendees and millions watching at home, Kerr channeled Steph Curry’s “night night” celebration to criticize former President Donald Trump.
Despite feeling nervous and out of place in the political arena, Kerr used the opportunity to convey a message of unity in a divisive political climate. He received some criticism for his appearance but overall, the feedback was positive, with many people supporting his message of coming together to achieve success, whether in sports or in the country.
Kerr, who is more accustomed to the pressure of playing in NBA Finals games, likened the experience to being a fish out of water. He appreciated the opportunity to speak at such a large event but looks forward to returning to his comfort zone on the basketball court.
The coach’s appearance at the convention sparked conversations and reflections on the role of athletes and their influence in politics. Kerr’s willingness to speak his mind and take a stance on important issues was praised by many, showing that athletes can be more than just players on the court but also voices for change and unity in society.
