Steve Kerr went on 95.7 during the “Damon and Ratto” Show this afternoon and I took notes as it was happening. Below are the notes, only edited once — messy, yes, but better than nothing. Working on a few projects at the moment so, per usual, getting the info out in whatever format will take precedence over form and style.

If you want to hear the interview, I recommend either going to the 95.7 The Game website and searching there, or waiting for it to appear on the Warriors’ SoundCloud page.
