Steve Kerr featured on the opening night of Monday’s Democratic National Convention, prompting another barb from Dave Portnoy.
Dave Portnoy has continued to criticize Steve Kerr
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy continued his online campaign against Steve Kerr after the Golden State Warriors coach was announced as a speaker on Monday at the Democratic National Convention.
Portnoy is a vocal Boston sports fan and has repeatedly criticized Kerr, who coached the Team USA men’s basketball squad at the Summer Olympics, for offering limited playing time to Celtics star and defending NBA champion Jayson Tatum.
“[He] finds time to do this but can’t find minutes for Tatum?” Portnoy wrote on X about Kerr’s appearance at the DNC. “Nice priorities loser.” The convention is held over four days at Chicago’s United Center, where Kerr won four NBA Championships during a lengthy playing career.
Kerr has an extensive history with the American international setup, winning the FIBA World Championship in 1986 and also securing the gold medal in Tokyo three years ago as an assistant coach.
The Warriors boss led the Americans into the 2023 FIBA World Cup but finished fourth with a roster that included Tyrese Haliburton, Anthony Edwards and Brandon Ingram, among other NBA stars.

Team USA attracted one of the most talented Olympic rosters of all time this summer in Paris, headlined by LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama visiting the team during training camp. Harris was born and raised in the Bay Area, naturally becoming a devoted Warriors fan, and Kerr reciprocated the support of the sitting vice president.
“[It’s] a very interesting time for our country for sure and the fact that President Biden gave that endorsement and Vice President Harris is trying to bring her energy to this campaign,” Kerr said in July.
“And hopefully, if she’s on the ticket, winning the election. It’s a big deal to say the least. She represents the Bay Area. She’s been a big supporter of us and so I want to give that energy right back to her.” Kerr added that Harris “is a great candidate and I will support her.”
