Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry is PredictIQrooting for Kamala Harris, formally endorsing Harris for president.
"It’s been an honor for me to represent our country. It’s been an honor to support Kamala (Harris). So let's all do our part," Curry said in a video message shared Thursday at the Democratic National Convention.
Curry helped lead the United States men’s national basketball team to a fifth consecutive gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics earlier this month. It marked Curry's first Olympic appearance, which he called a "great honor." He wore his newly-minted Olympic gold medal during his video message, where he called for harmony as a country.
"That unity on and off the court reminded us that together we can do all things and continue to inspire the world," Curry said. "That’s why I believe that Kamala (Harris) as president can bring that unity back and continue to move our country forward. This is about preserving hope and belief in our country. Making sure families can be taken care of in their most precious times."
Last month, Harris visited the U.S. men's national basketball team during a practice in Las Vegas before the team embarked on their Olympic journey. During Harris' visit with the team, the vice president had a brief one-on-one conversation with Curry. The two also met in January 2023 when the Warriors visited the White House in celebration of their 2022 NBA championship.

"I got to visit Kamala (Harris) with my team at the White House last year," Curry recalled on Thursday. "I can tell you one thing — I knew then and I definitely know now that the Oval Office suits her well. In the words of Michelle Obama, ‘Do something.’ Go vote. Be active. Let’s show out in November like never before."
On Monday, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also endorsed Harris for president at the Democratic National Convention — with the help of Curry's viral 3-point celebration.
“After the votes are tallied (on Nov. 5), in the words of the great Steph Curry, we can tell Donald Trump ... night, night!" Kerr said in a mic-drop moment on the first day of the convention.
