Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr fell short to lead the Warriors to the championship last season. However, as a Team USA head coach, he had success leading the star-studded roster to win their fifth straight gold for the USA.
Recently, Kerr made an appearance at the Democratic National Convention’s opening night, where he addressed his critics in a clever way. During his speech on Monday, Kerr subtly addressed some of his critics who had been vocal on Twitter about the Warriors’ lackluster performance last season.
“I would’ve played more press coverage with your corners and then dropped the safeties into a Tampa 2. But that’s just me. Sorry, I wanted you to know how I feel every day of the NBA season,” Kerr said.
Under Kerr’s coaching, the Warriors ended the season with a 46-36 record and were ranked 10th in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, they also missed the playoffs, which added more criticism for the head coach.
