[Burke] Kerr on Draymond:
“I’ve said many times we don’t have a single championship without Draymond Green. That’s the truth. He’s crossed the line over the years, and that’s part of it, you know. We will go to bat for Draymond, and go to battle with him every day of the week.”
Sources:
Steve Kerr on if there’s a way to stop a Draymond heated moment: “There’s no stopping Draymond, you can’t put your arm around him and say, ‘ok, calm down.’ It’s ok, we accept Draymond for who he is and what he stands for because, frankly, it makes us win.”

Did Kerr just say, “We don’t care if Draymond is dirty as long as we win”?
Kerr is a douche
> we accept Draymond for who he is and what he stands for because, frankly, it makes us win*
*except when he gets ejected / suspended and we lose
Very sick of the story. There were actual games yester. Draymond was already suspended. People need to move on.
Buuuuut once it makes us lose…
This is just who Kerr is. Tries to act all moral until something affects him
Double code master
At least he can stop pretending he isn’t an outward hypocrite anymore after his whining so much last year.
It’s ok if my dirty asshole does it, but god forbid if our team gets a taste of its own medicine.
Man this team is insufferable lmao
I wonder, if Portland throws money at Draymond this offseason, thinking he can instill some of his defence and the high P&R with Dame and Simons/Sharpe, do you think they do it?
Especially because I think Dame has always wanted Dray on his team.
“Yeah, I’ve lost control of the situation, but here’s why that’s actually a good thing.”
“Heated moment” is a nice euphemism for “violent outburst”.
Kerr on his thoughts after he’s seen the incident play out… “no comment”..
It’s pretty telling what he actually thinks
Hypocrite!
i wanna know where da CODE at
Warriors franchise is the definition of hypocrisy.
Excusing temper tantrums and child-like behavior. This a whole ass grown man
That ship sailed a long time ago
Seethe Kerr be like “it’s ok when we do it”. Fuck outa here
This is the kind of language used when defending an abusive family member (minus the winning part of course) and it is not okay
we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas
In other words, we are enablers
Oh I see; Draymond is the coach and Kerr plays for him hmmm
Okay but then you don’t get to be livid and shocked when those antics you can’t stop or control lead to negative things too, yah know
That’s a 33 year old man a coach admitting is a lost cause.
Sacramento, plz BEAM these guys in to the shadow realm.
Steve Kerr when Vince Carter accidentally does a dirty play against his team: [“He Knows Better”](https://youtu.be/z3IjjQYVHI4)
Steve Kerr when Draymond Green stomps someone away from the ball and incites an arena in front of the commissioner: “He’s our guy and we will always defend him”.
In other words. “We don’t care about the code when Draymond breaks it.”🤡
This is the dumbest and most baffling part of this soundbite:
>we accept Draymond for who he is and what he stands for
Like it’s not like he believes in a different religion or something, he just plays dirty basketball. Kerr is trying to make this sound like we hate him because he’s “different ;( “
Dudes got Steph Curry on his team and thinks Draymond assaulting people is why they’ve won games lmao
I’ve been actively following the NBA for 2 years now as a basketball fan from europe and I can really see why so many people hate the GSW….these statements are ridiculous.
He scared to get punched.
so as long as it helps you win, it’s not breaking the code??
Apparently it’s only a problem to Steve when the opponent breaks The Code.
“He is out of control but he’s deliberately hurting everyone else, not us, which benefits us. We don’t give a fuck about sportsmanship.”
“We accept that he’s a 6’6″ 33 year old man baby who stomps on people’s chests, kicks people in the head, and punches teammates in the face….but he helps us win, so I’m not gonna even try to enforce any standards of sportmanship for my team and especially for him.”
“I’ll let Draymond punch a thousand teammates before I let this company die, and I’ll silence anybody who gets in my way”
“Steve we’re on live”
“I don’t give a shit”
I would be fine with his “I don’t care. Draymond helps us win, and winning is what matters” if he weren’t such a sanctimonious HR lady about everything else.
if kerr didn’t rant hysterically about shit as common as slide-unders and accuse every other team of being the dirtiest team in the league, this might be more meaningful
instead he’s just announcing his hypocrisy out loud, and no one will call him on it because they’re the Warriors
Fuck the Warriors, fuck their shitbag fans, and fuck the shitbag media that carries water for them. I hope they get brutally injured in Game 3 and we never have to put up with them again.
Alright. Steve Kerr is officially just as unlikeable as the rest of the warriors team with this statement, if not more.
Kerr and the rest of the GSW organization are pathetic for enabling this ass clown.
