On the first day of the Democratic National Convention In Chicago, Joe Biden has not been the only protagonist. Steve Kerr has taken much of the spotlight. The coach of the US men’s basketball team has jumped into the political arena to ask people to go out and vote for Harris on November 5 to celebrate that victory like Steph Curry.

He was playing on familiar ground, but this time he was not wearing the team’s jersey. Chicago Bulls but the Democratic colors. The US men’s Olympic basketball coach opted for the Harris-Walz team on Monday.

“The joy, the compassion, the commitment to our country that we saw at the Olympics. That’s what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have. And that’s what our country needs. Leadership. Real leadership, not the kind that seeks to divide us,” he said at the Convention.

“And after the results are counted that night [de las elecciones]we will be able, in the words of the great Steph Curry, to say to Donald Trump: “go to sleep, go to sleep,” he added.

Thus, he referred to a mythical gesture with which the Warriors player and gold medalist in Paris, Stephen Currycelebrates not only his baskets but also his victories. A triumph that Kerr already predicts for Kamala Harris on November 5, sending Donald Trump to sleep, who he hopes will have nothing to celebrate.
