Kamala Harris’ Warriors Connection: 3 Times Golden State Stars Endorsed the Presidential Candidate

THE Golden State Warriors are sure of their position from the beginning! Notably, the first time the San Francisco Bay Area side took sides was when it refused to visit the White House during Donald Trump’s term. Stephen Curry He publicly expressed his desire not to visit the statehouse after winning championships in 2017 and 2018. But he did visit the statehouse in 2015 and 2022, when the Democratic Party took power. Now that the country is on the cusp of a presidential election, let’s take a look at the Warriors’ connection to Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Before we get into the specifics, Harris already has strong ties to the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from the University of California, San Francisco School of Law, she served as an assistant district attorney for nearly a decade, earning a reputation for toughness. Harris later rose through the ranks to become California’s attorney general, the first woman and first black American to hold the position.

Through her consistent work at the House of Law, Harris has not only won the hearts of the Bay Area residents, but also the Bay Area Warriors. Let’s take a look at three instances where the Warriors’ stars have supported the 59-year-old.

Draymond Green – “I made Boohoo cry”

The former DPOY is known for speaking his mind without hesitation. Draymond Green He even has his own podcast show, where the star power forward regularly addresses his fans with brutally honest takes on basketball. And, of course, sometimes, DrayMagic refuses to mince words and makes headlines.

While Green has only made his opinions known within the NBA, he recently took to the mic to discuss the upcoming U.S. presidential election. As we noted earlier, the Bay Area team has always been clear in its stance. The star wore a T-shirt with former President Barack Obama’s image printed on it. wholeheartedly endorsed Kamala Harrissaying, “We are very encouraging here. I want to express my love and support to Kamala and her team, whoever she chooses as vice president. Good luck to them.”

Additionally, the four-time NBA champion also had an emotional story behind his sincere wish to see a female president. In the same podcast, Green said: “I remember sitting in the office with my dad and looking at the magazine. I asked my dad, ‘Do you think we’ll ever have a woman president?’

The star’s father gritted his teeth and said: “Not in my lifetime.” And that’s when the star understood, as he continued, “I started crying with Boohoo in that office because it was the first time I thought my dad was going to die. When he told me that, it devastated me.” Hopefully Green can fulfill his wish of being the first woman to become President of the United States.

Steve Kerr and his “Night, night” celebration

On the first day of the Democratic National Convention, the Warriors mastermind stole the show with his fiery speech, advocating his support for Kamal Harris. The 9x NBA champion used every basketball reference he could to make his point.

Interestingly, Kerr found a stimulating parallel to gain public support for Harris’ position. He said: “Think about what our team accomplished with 12 Americans in Paris, putting aside rivalries to represent our country. Now imagine what we could do with 330 million of us playing on the same team.”

But one particular basketball reference left the entire crowd in a frenzy. This time, Kerr called upon his own superstar, Stephen Curry. He said, “Once the results are counted that night, we will be able to, in the words of the great Stephen Curry, say to Donald Trump: ‘Good night!'”

It’s certainly a nice way to celebrate a victory, as the Bay Area superstar did. However, this isn’t the first time Steve Kerr has stood alongside Harris. A few months ago, Kerr called students to stand with Harris and raise awareness about gun violence and the upcoming election.

Stephen Curry – “Bring back this unit”

Last but not least, the Baby Faced Assassin After a series of public endorsements for Democrats, Steph made her appearance on DNC day via video message. The superstar got straight to her point and advocated for Kamala Harris, saying: “This unity on and off the field reminded us that together we can do anything and continue to inspire the world. That’s why I believe Kamala, as president, could bring back that unity and continue to move our country forward.”

In particular, Steph’s words aligned with LeBron James’ vision that he shared at the Paris Olympics. On the other hand, Steph Curry defended Harris well before the DNC. Sitting alongside Kevin Durant at the Paris Olympics press conference, he said: “It’s a very exciting time for our country, for sure. The fact that President Biden has endorsed Vice President Harris is trying to bring his energy to this campaign. And I hope that if she’s on the ticket to win the election, it will be a significant event, to say the least.”

With just two months until the election, fans have seen stars endorse presidential candidates on multiple occasions. What do you think of the Warriors stars’ support for Kamala Harris? Let us know in the comments.
