As one half of Simon & Garfunkel and having a successful solo career, Grammy-winning artist Paul Simon is usually the most famous person in the room -- unless he's performing in an area where the local sports team is the hottest thing going.

Simon, performing at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on Friday night, was upstaged by Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who guided his team to a 1-0 lead in the NBA Finals after Golden State beat Cleveland 104-89 on Thursday. When the audience noticed Kerr walking among the crowd, concert-goers began chanting, "Go, Warriors!"

The chanting got so bad that Simon had to stop playing, quipping to Kerr that the next time Stephen Curry makes a three-pointer, the singer will walk out onto the court.
