Plus: Kerr talks health updates, three-peats and his defining NBA Finals moment
When Warriors coach Steve Kerr got asked before Game 5 about the challenges of a three-peat, it wasn’t meant as a cruel reminder how his Warriors failed at that feat in 2019.
“I just think the accumulation of emotion and the physical wear and tear that you deal with over time,” Kerr said of the challenges. “I think you go from the first year where it’s kind of fresh and new, you know, by the third year you’ve been hunted by every other team and everyone’s building their team to try to beat you.
Maybe that’s a quote to file away for 2024, if the Warriors prevail in this series and next year’s Finals.Kerr not only was part of the Chicago Bulls’ three consecutive title runs in 1996-98, he hit the game-winning shot to clinch the 1997 NBA Finals — 25 years ago to the day.
