Kerr said it was his duty to “speak up in an election of this magnitude.”
Steve Kerr, head coach of the Gold State Warriors and Team USA men’s basketball team, speaks on the first night of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago on Monday, Aug. 19, 2024. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr endorsed vice president Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, in a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday.
Although addressing a stadium of politicos is new territory for the head coach, the United Center was a familiar setting. As Kerr took the podium, highlights of his game-winning shot in the same arena from Game 6 of the 1997 NBA Finals showed on big screens. Although there has, and always will be, backlash when sports figures speak about politics — as Kerr alluded to — sports and politics are constantly intertwined. At the Republican National Convention earlier this summer, former wrestler Hulk Hogan and UFC CEO Dana White each spoke. Former Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker lost his Senate race in 2022 and former Dodger Steve Garvey is running for a Senate seat in California currently.
He did so while making himself very clear about which candidate in the 2024 presidential election represents that value.
