Steve Kerr hits Donald Trump with a Steph Curry “night night” at the DNC.

Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr on Monday invoked NBA player Steph Curry's signature “night night” move in a dig at Donald Trump during Night 1 of the DNC.

“In the words of the great Steph Curry, we can tell Donald Trump: ‘Night, night!’” Kerr said during his Democratic National Convention speech, while putting his hands together against the side of his face like he was sleeping, mimicking Curry's celebration move.

Kerr has been an outspoken voice on a number of social issues, including gun violence, and has been critical of former President Donald Trump.

During his speech at the United Center — where Kerr starred for the Chicago Bulls en route to winning three NBA championships — Kerr used a number of sports references while he praised the Democratic ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

"By the way, coach to coach, that guy's awesome," Kerr said, referring to Walz.

"Although I have to say, Coach Walz, way too much reliance on the blitz in '99 against Mankato East," Kerr continued, ribbing the vice presidential candidate. "You had a strong defensive line."
