“What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”

The basketball star’s message came in the final stretch of the political campaign with Lebron adding his support to many other basketball stars who have publicly endorsed the Democratic candidate.

Curry, ardent Democrat

Stephen Curry has shown his support for Kamala on several occasions in recent months, so much so that the charismatic Golden State Warriors point guard participated in August by videoconference at the Democratic convention with a Paris 2024 Olympic basketball gold medal on his neck.

“A sophisticated leader who I am confident can lead our country, bring hope, inspiration, unity. There are many issues to face in our country, much progress to be made. But a level of decency and humanity in a top leadership position is critical and she has it,” Curry said in back at the NBA media day in September.

NBA bug guns support Kamala

San Antonio Spurs’ veteran Chris Paul or head coaches such as Gregg Popovich and Steve Kerr are also dies in the wool Democratic as are two legends of the game in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson have also signed up for ‘Team Harris’.

Harris also counts on plenty of support too in the WNBA, where a legion of current and former players have added their voices to the Democrat campaign, such as: Diana Taurasi, A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird, Candace Parker, Dawn Staley.
