Warriors head coach stealthily quoted Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well”

Talking to the media is an important part of an NBA coach’s responsibilities, but that obligation doesn’t mean a coach can’t have fun with it. That’s something that Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr knows all too well.

People might have started getting concerned if Kerr muttered that it was supposed to be fun to turn twenty-one, or talked about his “F–– the Patriarchy” keychain or revealed that he liked Gui Santos because he “reminds you of innocence and smells like me.”

The story does present a question: Is Steve Kerr a secret Swiftie? It seems unlikely, but you never know. We learned from Thompson’s piece that the first concert attended by Kerr’s other son, Warriors assistant Nick Kerr, was the Backstreet Boys at the Alamodome in San Antonio. (Kerr’s first show was The Police. This author’s first show was the Grateful Dead at age 10, during which I wondered why the band was using so many smoke…
