It’s no secret that Warriors coach Steve Kerr loves Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. Kerr played four seasons in San Antonio under Pop, and won two titles during his time there. Golden State’s leader has been open about Popovich’s role as a mentor and a teacher.
Yet for all his basketball admiration, it seems likely that Kerr admires Popovich off the court even more than on the court. And how could he not? Popovich is one the most thoughtful, powerful, and eloquent people in the NBA, and has constantly spoken at length about the dangers of the current administration.
