Team USA basketball star Stephen Curry scored political points at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, voicing his support for Kamala Harris as she vies for the presidency.

Curry, the four-time NBA champion and two-time NBA MVP for the Golden State Warriors, praised the potential Democratic nominees energy at a press conference before the favored U.S. opens play against Serbia on Sunday.

Its a very interesting time for our country, for sure, Curry told reporters . Vice President Harris is primed to bring her energy to this campaign and, hopefully, if shes on the ticket, winning the election, its a big deal, to say the least.

Harris, a big Warriors fan and Curry pal who hails from Oakland, visited Curry and his U.S. teammates as they trained in Las Vegas. That was before President Joe Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed her.

She represents the Bay Area, Curry said with Olympics teammate Kevin Durant beside him. Shes been a big supporter of us, so I want to give that energy right back to her. ... This is a very monumental next couple of months for the direction where were headed. Hopefully, this is a great way to do our part to continue unifying our country with how sports brings a lot of people together. For her, in this moment, knowing whats ahead, its all about positive energy and optimism, knowing how divided our country is right now. [Im] just excited for the journey ahead for her.
