Curry gave Harris his enthusiastic backing during the Paris Olympics and is a long-time friend of the former California senator, who was born in Oakland.

"Supporting her is an honor, a sophisticated leader that I expect and have confidence she can lead our country and provide hope, inspiration, and unity," Curry said of Harris at the Warriors media day.

"Obviously, there's a lot of tough conversations that need to be addressed in our country and a lot of progress needs to be made."

Curry said that Harris, who is battling former president Donald Trump for the White House, would bring a "level of decency and humanity" to the job.

"First and foremost, is she going to run the entire country and be a leader for everybody?," he asked.

"I feel like she checks that box. You've got to start there. That's why I have confidence in her."

The remarks cam just days after football, basketball, tennis legends banded together to form Athletes for Harris.
