Why Steve Kerr blames himself for eye-opening Draymond Green spat
NY Post
Steve Kerr was out of line.
Either that, or the four-time NBA champion, $17.5 million-per-year Warriors head coach is trying to deflect some blame away from one of his star players following a shocking sideline spat with Draymond Green.
Kerr and Green had a heated exchange during a third-quarter timeout in Monday night’s win over the Magic, and Green even left the court in the aftermath to cool down before later returning to the bench.
“Monday night was not my finest hour, and that was a time I needed to be calm in the huddle,” Kerr told reporters on Wednesday. “I regret my actions in that exchange. I apologized to [Green]. He apologized to me. We both apologized to the team.
“These things, they happen, especially when you get two incredibly competitive people like Dray and me. So, over the 12 years we’ve been together, this has happened occasionally, and I’m not proud of it.”
Then again, the charismatic, borderline professorial Kerr is the same guy who got into a practice fist fight with Michael Jordan during his playing days with the Bulls.
