SAN FRANCISCO, United States — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry reiterated his support for US presidential election hopeful Kamala Harris on Monday, saying the Democratic nominee could bring "hope and unity" to a divided nation.

Curry gave Harris his enthusiastic backing during the Paris Olympics and is a long-time friend of the US vice president, who was born in Oakland, California.

"Supporting her is an honor, a sophisticated leader that I expect and have confidence she can lead our country and provide hope, inspiration, and unity," Curry said of Harris at the Warriors media day.

"Obviously there's a lot of tough conversations that need to be addressed in our country and a lot of progress needs to be made."

Curry said that Harris, who is battling former president Donald Trump for the White House, would bring a "level of decency and humanity" to the job.

"First and foremost, is she going to run the entire country and be a leader for everybody?," Curry said.

"I feel like she checks that box. You've got to start there. That's why I have confidence in her."
