Athletic legend Steve Kerr is putting Donald Trump to sleep.
Basketball coach Steve Kerr, the U.S. team's leader at the Paris Olympics, openly expressed his political stance against presidential candidate Donald Trump. After securing the gold medal for Team USA, Kerr, a veteran of 58 years, publicly declared his support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the U.S. presidential election. "I will do my utmost to assist people in voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as the next president and vice president of the United States on November 5th," Kerr said at the U.S. Democratic Party convention in Chicago, adding, "As the legendary Stephen Curry once said, 'Goodnight' to Donald Trump!"
Kerr's speech was a nod to Curry's gesture at the Olympic final in Paris, where the Golden State Warriors superstar sealed their victory against France (98:87) with a series of successful three-point shots. As the crowd erupted in cheer, Curry placed his head on his folded hands, signaling to the spectators, "That's it, you can call it a night now." Emulating Curry's gesture, Kerr delivered a powerful message on the larger stage.
Obama approves
"Let us not forget the spirit displayed by our 12-member Team USA in Paris. Rivalries were put aside as we came together to represent our nation. Imagine the progress we could achieve if every one of our 330 million citizens collaborated in unity," Kerr suggested. "We should not be divided as Democrats or Republicans, but as fellow Americans."
Kerr also highlighted the positive qualities of Harris and Walz, emphasizing the importance of unity and effective leadership in the nation. "Such qualities are what our country yearns for. Not the divisive kind that seeks to split us apart," he stated.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama endorsed Kerr's message by sharing the video on his X channel, expressing gratitude for Kerr's contributions to the team and his timely leadership. "Thank you for securing the gold medal for Team USA, and for your leadership during this critical time for our nation," Obama wrote.
Kerr's endorsement of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz attracted attention, with even former President Barack Obama sharing Kerr's message on his X channel. In his endorsement, Obama praised Kerr for securing the gold medal for Team USA and for his timely leadership, particularly his stance against presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Despite the controversy surrounding Donald Trump's political campaign, basketball coach Steve Kerr remained vocal in his opposition, echoing Stephen Curry's "Goodnight" gesture at the Olympic final to symbolize the end of Trump's divisive leadership style.
