Kerr: “Trying to repeat is actually really fun” + summer recap
www.letsgowarriors.com
Steve Kerr at Basketball Without Borders camp in Cairo earlier this month. (NBA Africa)

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.

Cairo/BWB: pyramids and city has grown 3x, daughter got married, 6 weeks of getting away after the Draft/FA so mid-August started to think about schemes, coaching retreat next week, “Bob and I talk almost every day”, Japan trip: “not the ideal way to go through training camp…but it’s an incredible opportunity…just there for the Olympics last summer but didn’t get to see anything (due to COVID)…it’ll be a thrill”, Queen Elizabeth and watching The Crown, monitoring vet minutes in preseason: rhythm but don’t run them into the ground, “we’ve got an entire performance team…my job has gotten a lot easier”, motivation, “trying to repeat is actually really fun…third year is where it really gets to be a grind (if you’re lucky enough)…I think we’ll be really excited (not burned out)…playing with a little house money…they’ve (Steph/Klay/Dray/Andre) got four rings, they’ve got nothing to prove…their natural competitiveness (will come out)”, Iguodala: “irreplaceable leader in that locker room”, “we (he and Myers) just said you have earned the right to do whatever you want…talked to him about a month ago”, what makes a three-peat harder: it catches up to you and takes physical/spiritual toll plus teams are gunning for you, Poole: “Jordan was amazing…don’t know that he can do anything more offensively…when he was fully engaged…physicality…he can be a legit two-way player”, if Steve wants to be in salary cap discussions: “Bob and I are always aligned…every decision he makes he’s sharing his reasoning”, Klay full season: “We texted the other day and he’s having just a great summer…brother Trayce is hitting home runs…expect (Klay) to be more consistent”, Wiggins: “culmination of two and a half years…Klay being back (helped)…lock-down defense and be our secondary scorer…he was just awesome…perfect marriage”, Wiseman/Moody/Kuminga: “(Wiseman) looks good and feels good…they’re all so young, they just need to play”, Alonzo King (ballet director) at SF Jazz fundraiser September 16th: talk on social justice and human rights and mindfulness/self-care.
