Steve Kerr Responds To Donald Trump’s ‘Little Boy’ Comments

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr always speaks his mind even when he talks about the sitting President of the United States. The NBA got into a thing with China, and Donald Trump didn’t like Kerr’s attitude on the matter.

“I watch this guy Steve Kerr, and he was like a little boy,” the President said. “He was so scared to be even answering the question. He couldn’t answer the question, he was shaking. He didn’t know how to answer the question. He’ll talk about the United States very badly.”

What did Kerr say?

“It was really surprising. But mainly just because it was me. Then you stop and you think, this is just every day. This is just another day. I was the shiny object yesterday,” he said. “There was another one today; there will be a new one tomorrow. And the circus will go on. It’s just strange, but it happened.”

When asked if he has any thoughts about the situation with Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey’s support of Hong Kong, the Warriors coach said, “Actually I don’t. It’s a really bizarre international story. A lot of us don’t know what to make of it. It’s something I’m reading about like everybody is, but I’m not gonna comment further.”

 Kerr made a smart move with his decision not to talk about the controversy. He told media members that he will always speak out about things that matter to him despite the President’s criticism and the backlash the league has faced in China.

“Generally, my feeling is the things that I’m going to comment on are the things that I feel comfortable speaking about, things I feel well versed about,” he said. “I comment a lot about gun safety. It’s a cause that’s very near and dear to my heart. It’s very crucial for our country for our future. We face mass shootings literally every day. So I’m involved with four or five different gun safety groups. It’s my pet cause. So I’m going to comment on it. It’s my right. That’s why I love being an American and love my country. I’m able to channel my energy and my resources to places where I want it to go. I feel really comfortable with that. There are places where I don’t feel as comfortable. This would be one of them.”
