Steve Kerr was posed an interesting question ahead of Wednesday’s matchup between the Celtics and Warriors at TD Garden.
“What’s the loudest you’ve been booed?”
The Warriors head coach and former NBA guard responded with a laugh.
“I don’t think anybody actually cared enough about me to boo me,” Kerr said. “We’ll see how it goes tonight.”
Kerr is expected to be persona non grata on the parquet floor on Wednesday, due in large part to his handling of Jayson Tatum’s minutes during the 2024 Summer Olympics as Team USA’s head coach.

Fresh off securing an NBA title with Boston in June, Tatum, who had already won one gold medal with Team USA during the 2020 Summer Games, became an afterthought in Kerr’s rotations in France.
