Steve Kerr of the Warriors makes a bold prediction at the Democratic Party Convention and wants to say "goodnight" to Donald Trump like Steph Curry

Just days after his Team USA won its fifth consecutive Olympic medal in men’s basketball, Steve Kerr took the stage at the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, a place he called home as a former NBA player with the Bulls.

Kerr, who had endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as presidential and vice-presidential candidates before the US team’s Olympic run, explained his motivation for the speech and fired up the Democratic duo in front of the crowd with Olympic metaphors.

But Kerr got bold in his closing remarks, sharing his outlook on this year’s presidential election. And as he has done throughout his speech, he returned to what happened at the Olympics with a particular player he coaches on the Golden State Warriors: Steph Curry.

“I will go out every day to help people vote on November 5th and elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as the next president and vice president of the United States,” Kerr told the crowd.

“After the results are counted this evening, we can, in the words of the great Steph Curry, say to Donald Trump: ‘Goodnight!'”

Kerr is referring to Curry’s now trademark celebration after his three-pointer at the end of the gold medal game against France, which secured the victory for the US team.

After sinking a step-back three-pointer with French defenders in his face, Curry turned to the crowd and put his head in his hands to signal that he had just put France to sleep in this game.

This moment quickly went viral on social media, with many captioning it “Night, night” or “Nuit, nuit,” which means “night” in French.

Kerr began his bold election prediction by outlining his reasons for supporting Harris and Walz and sharing his belief that running against Trump was “not a contest.”

“The reason I agreed to speak here tonight is because as a coach and former player, as a husband, son, father, even grandfather, and as an American, I believe in a certain kind of leadership,” Kerr said. “I believe leaders must demonstrate dignity. I believe leaders must tell the truth. I believe leaders should be able to laugh at themselves. I believe leaders should care about and love the people they lead. I believe leaders must have knowledge and expertise, but realize that none of us have all the answers. In fact, some of the best answers often come from members of the team.”

“If you look for those qualities in your friends, your boss, your coworker, your child’s teacher, your mayor, shouldn’t you want those qualities in your president? When you think about it, it’s not a competition. I see all of those qualities in Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”

Kerr’s political positions have been known for quite some time, especially when it comes to gun control policies in the country. He was among the sports figures who were highly critical of Trump during his presidency from 2016 to 2020.

Kerr recently alluded to gun violence when she spoke about the assassination attempt on Trump.

“This is such a demoralizing day for our country and another example of not only our political division but our gun culture,” said Kerr at the time, whose father was assassinated in Beirut in 1984. “A 20-year-old with an AR-15 tries to shoot the former president. It’s hard to process all of this, and it’s scary to think about where this is going, given the problems that already exist in the country. So this is a terrible day.”

Kerr said he could already see the “shut up and whistle” tweets that were fired during his speech in Chicago, but he knew “very well that talking about politics these days is fraught with risk.”
