A couple of days ago, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, as it seemed like he had taken a shot at Kevin Durant by saying that his final season with the team wasnât enjoyable.
Allegedly, Kerr said that last year, when they didnât even make the playoffs, was better than Durantâs final year in the Bay when they made the NBA Finals. KD, faithful to his nature, fired back at Kerr because he just canât stand when people arenât showering him in praise.
Thatâs why the Warriorsâ coach went on the record to completely deny that report and say that his words were taken out of context, going as far as to say that those actions were irresponsible and damaging.
Steve Kerr Puts The Media On Blast Over Alleged Shot At Kevin Durant

âThat is the furthest thing from the truth. It was a terribly unfair shot. Completely taking something out of context to the point where people are going to read it and think that that was my quote. ⊠But to take that comment and put it into a tweet and send it out to the universe was so irresponsible and damaging. And Iâm angry.
Itâs ridiculous. You guys know this. We are so thankful for everything thatâs happened over the years here. Throughout our run weâve had so many great moments, great players and Kevin is celebrated here. You guys all know that. He had an amazing run. We absolutely wish him well. Weâve done that from the start and thatâs why Iâm so angry about this because this is complete BS.â
That wouldnât be the first time that the media twists the words just to create a story. Then again, Durant shouldâve also known better to just fuel the fire on social media rather than addressing his former coach privately. But hey, thatâs just the good-old KD.
