Steve Kerr condemns league-wide officiating after Warriors-Nuggets on Christmas | NBA on ESPN
How’ you feel you guys played General I thought we played okay I thought I I think uh we can play better for sure um uh I I thought the ball didn’t always move like it could have you know we only had 23 assists um didn’t shoot it particularly well um but
Um you know you go on the road against the defending champs you got to you got to play your A game and we didn’t play our aame y finish with 18 free throws I mean you guys C with with some of the calls just what did you think about how
Big a factor was the way he was today I have no no problem with um the officials of themselves um they’re all across the league we have really good officials I have a problem with the way we’re we are um legislating defense out of the game
That’s what we’re doing in the NBA the way we’re teaching the officials we’re just enabling players to BS their way to the foul line um if I I were a fan I wouldn’t have wanted to watch that second half of that game it was disgusting it was just you know just
Baiting baiting refs into calls but the refs have to make those calls because that’s how they’re taught so I have a real problem with the way we are um we’ve legislated defense out of the game in this league and uh the players are really smart in this league and for for
Over the last decade or so uh they’ve gotten smarter and smarter and they’re just um they’re just enable we have enabled the players and they are taking full advantage and it’s a parade to the free throw line and it’s disgusting to watch [Applause] thanks

True
Hes not wrong
Steve argues every call whether it's wrong or right. The league needs to give him more tech fouls.
Hey mr "white privilege", ya took Marc's job. An Asiatic Black man who built that team. He said if he didn't win a title he should be fired.
Of course that core was young & Coach Jackson was there for the bumps & learning curves. Then kept his' word & took it on the chin.
YES! The refs SUCK! If I was that pathetic crybaby league I'd do something about officiating. NO penalties. No1 pays to see zebras.
>< stares in Celtics team defense ><
Nba now is worst officiating
He is gonna get fined for this, but the Warriors organization will happily pay the tab lmao
Steve Kerr doesn't have Draymond to do dirty works for Warriors to win games anymore. Now he is complaining.😅
Kerr is not lying, and I think most out there would agree with him 100%. Flopping is one thing, baiting referees for calls to get to the line just slows down the game tremendously. Who would pay to see some dude shoot free throws all day.
Don't let the real issue get lost. AS KERR SAID, IT'S NOT THE REFS, IT'S THE LEAGUE – BANNING ALL PHYSICAL CONTACT, MAKING DEFENSE A TOTAL JOKE. WHY? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE FANS WANT: DUNKS AND 3'S. RATINGS ARE HIGHER THAN EVER. THIS IS THE ERA OF INSTANT GRATIFICATION. THE RESULT IS THAT PLAYERS' HANDS ARE LITERALLY TIED AND THERE IS NO MORE TRUE CRAFT, OR HEATED RIVALRY. IF YOU WERE AROUND (LIKE ME) SINCE WILT AND RUSSELL, DR J AND BARKLEY, EVEN KOBE AND SHAQ, YOU'D KNOW WHAT REAL COMPETITION LOOKED LIKE. TODAY EVERY GAME IS THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS, THE FIX IS IN, IT'S ALL JUST ORCHESTRATED EJACULATION.
Yup, he's 💯 Right they are so Biased I've Noticed this year
Every Giannis fan would never say what Steve Kerr just said.
Nobody knows what an actual foul is anymore, and all games are called different so it's impossible to defend cleanly. Different body sizes and shapes get called differently. The new rule helped but it's still free-throw basketball. Need to get closer to FIBA rules
Kerr got a lot of nerve. His team has redefined the moving screen. They foul constantly to make up for their lack of size and muscle-tone. I refuse to watch GSW matches because of it.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Most of the nba guys no this brand of basketball is horrible and the rules have made the game only about offense. Most just don’t say it because they have to sell the league. Most of these so called super stars playing the last 10 yrs would be top role players at best and this includes a few Mvps of this era
Kerr from that era where a chop the neck was a regular foul and a flying johnny cage kick was a tech😂😂😂😂😂💯
Every time the Joker moves, the whistle is already waiting
What? Ur illegal screens arent working anymore? Draymond doing cheap shots finally getting punished? The league calling fair games? Keep crying because it isnt going ur way anymore. Petty and pathetic. Had respect for kerr until he kept allowing a nut case continue his dirty antics without apologizing. Retire already.
