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.
Adam Edstrom was drafted as a center out of Sweden, even if the hulking 6-foot-7 forward exclusively has manned the wing since joining the Rangers’ organization.

SAINT PAUL, Minn. — With the Rangers hovering over the bottom of the NHL standings, it’s easy to root for whatever outcome would most likely lead to general manager Chris Drury announcing Gavin McKenna’s name on the draft stage at KeyBank Center in Buffalo this June.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — When the Rangers started the 2025-26 season, Noah Laba and Matthew Robertson were the only first-year players on the Opening Night roster.
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
