Alec NathanNov 1, 2017

The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs are rivals on the floor, but Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr told reporters Wednesday they would support Gregg Popovich if he ever ran for president. 

"He's great for the NBA and would be even better for the country, probably," Curry said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Connor Letourneau

Kerr echoed that sentiment and praisied Popovich's "honesty and integrity" as qualities that would make him a strong presidential candidate.

"There’s all these jokes about a Popovich presidential run," Kerr said, per Letourneau. "I truly would vote him for President. He would make a good president. He actually would. All jokes aside, I’d vote for him."

It's no surprise those men are all on the same page. 

Curry, Kerr and Popovich have all been outspoken against President Donald Trump, with Popovich going so far as to call him a "soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others," according to The Nation's Dave Zirin

Kerr also made his feelings known in a first-person piece for Sports Illustrated after Trump implied the Warriors' invitation to the White House in celebration of their 2016-17 title would be rescinded following Curry's comments at media day. 

"In his tweet to Steph, Trump talked about honoring the White House but, really, isn’t it you who must honor the White House, Mr. President?" Kerr wrote. "And the way to do that is through compassion and dignity and being above the fray. Not causing the fray."

The Warriors and Spurs will share the floor Thursday night at AT&T Center (8 p.m. ET, TNT) in a rematch of May's Western Conference Finals.
