Quote of the Week

From Strauss’ article on Kerr and Green, an example of the atypical relationship between player and coach:

“Against Houston I got upset. At the end of the half he turned it over with 1.8 seconds, they called a 20 to set up a play. And I was so upset. ‘Just get the ball in!’ He’s like, ‘They didn’t get open! F— you!’ Andre [Iguodala] holds him back, soon as the buzzer sounds he’s all, ‘My bad, coach!’ And I’m like, ‘That’s why I love you, Draymond!'” – Steve Kerr
