On the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr took the stage to show his support for Kamala Harris as the next U.S. president. Kerr made a grand entrance, walking out to the iconic tune “Sirius,” the same song that introduced the Chicago Bulls during their 1990s glory days when Kerr helped lead the team to three NBA championships.
While Kerr’s formal endorsement of Harris was significant, what really caught everyone’s attention was how he wrapped up his speech. Kerr ended with a playful nod to Warriors star Steph Curry, mimicking Curry’s famous “night night” celebration.
“After the results are tallied that night, we can, in the words of the great Steph Curry, we can tell Donald Trump ‘night night,'” Kerr said.
Kerr’s connection with Harris goes beyond the convention. Just last month, Harris visited the USA men’s national basketball team during a practice in Las Vegas. Team USA’s coach expressed his admiration for Harris, saying during his DNC speech that he sees the leadership qualities in her necessary to guide the country forward.
