NBA coach Steve Kerr said he did not watch any of President Donald Trump's inauguration and instead focused on preparing for the game against the Boston Celtics.
Kerr, a longtime critic of President Trump and the coach of the Golden State Warriors, had a typical response, making jokes about the president while also criticizing him.
Former players were asked about the day of the ceremony and what they thought of the incoming administration on Inauguration Day.
Mr. Kerr replied, “I don't know. I didn't watch the inauguration.'' “I decided to watch the Celtics tape.''
There was laughter in the room, but it's only natural for a coach to focus on his job, especially when his team's performance is below standard.
reporter asked for follow-up“With that in mind, think about what this day means to you—”
After interrupting reporters, Carr decided to completely ignore the importance of the inauguration and instead focus on Martin Luther King Day and harshly criticize the president-elect.
“I always love playing on MLK Day,” the coach said. “Today is a very important day for all Americans, and I think the NBA has really embraced that as part of our culture, and I'm very proud of that.”
Mr. Carr appeared to be referring to MLK Day rather than Inauguration Day, but concluded that the day was “certainly a very meaningful day for everyone.”
Unfortunately, Kerr's study didn't help the Warriors, who were quickly trampled by the Celtics in a 5 p.m.
Star player Stephen Curry was one of only two Warriors players to score in double figures in the 40-point loss. 125-85.
“I believe in democracy.”
Mr. Carr and Mr. Curry are staunch Democrats and strongly supported Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate in the summer before the election.
After Trump's victory, Carr made a series of sarcastic remarks intended to poke fun at Trump's thoughts about the president and the 2020 election results.
“We're lucky there was no voter fraud this time. It's unfortunate because last time illegal immigrants broke through the border, raped and murdered people and voted six times,” Kerr joked.
But in his own way, the coach expressed the feeling that Trump would do just fine.
“I believe in democracy. I think the American people spoke up and voted for Trump. I want him to do well over the next four years. I want this country to do well, too.” Ta.
Carr also expressed sympathy after the assassination attempt on President Trump in July, but quickly called for gun control.
