After being sent off, Steve Kerr was scolded by… his mother!
A few days ago, A Steve Kerr angry as always with the referees of the meeting between the Clippers and the Warriors, he was ejected in the third quarter.
In front of the media for the first time since the incident, on the eve of Golden State’s match against Milwaukee, the technician did not want to comment on the reasons for his anger, undoubtedly avoiding a fine punishment. On the other hand, he shared the reaction of his mother who was present in the room.
“My mother was terribly disappointed”he explains with a smile. “She was at the game and she was horrified. She even asked me if I was going to hit the referee! And I said to her, ‘Mum, I’ve never raised a hand at anyone’, but she wasn’t convinced that my assistants had to intervene. She didn’t understand that it was part of the show, so to speak. That said, knowing that my mother thought that someone had hit me a little.
When asked, Doc Rivers sided with Ann Kerr, also having fun with the Golden State coach’s outburst. “He acted like a clown, I don’t want to see that kind of behavior from Steve Kerr again!” »
In memory of Stephon Marbury’s mother
In his misfortune, Steve Kerr, however, appreciated the comments Snoop Dogg who was a consultant at NBC for that occasion: “At least five people immediately sent me the video, it made me laugh.”
However, the situation could have been even more embarrassing for the Warriors coach. After sharing that his mother regretted not being able to get on the field to calm him down, Steve Kerr remembered another player’s mother succeeding where his mother failed.
“When she told me that, I immediately thought of Stephen Marbury’s mother who ran onto the field after he got hurt (in 2001 after colliding with teammate Jason Williams). he said laughing. “She was crying because her little one was hurt. Fortunately, the injury wasn’t serious. In a way, I’m glad my mother didn’t go on the field!”
