The Golden State Warriors coach is on the verge of leading his team to a third title in four years. But he is just as remarkable off the court
The coach of the NBAs most powerful team will not stick to sports. Steve Kerr, whose Golden State Warriors are set to win their third NBA title in four years, has transformed from a master of unselfish offenses to an essential voice of reason in a world in which reason dies on cable news.
I think hes got a fire burning, the Warriors general manager, Bob Myers, told the Guardian in the run-up to Friday nights Game 4 of the NBA finals. It smolders in there. It lives in there. Its there right now. I dont know what hes thinking right now but hes thinking about something that hes either read or heard that he didnt like that he wants to speak on if asked about it.
Chances are, Kerr will be asked. Chances are, Kerr will answer. No topic seems off limits. No question is too dangerous.

On gun control: We have to look at this as having nothing to do with partisanship, political parties. Its got to be a public safety issue.
