Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr pleaded for gun control reform and criticized U.S. Senators he said are holding Americans "hostage" following Tuesday's mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Kerr spoke ahead of Tuesday's Western Conference Finals game against the Dallas Mavericks and grew quite emotional during comments that lasted for nearly three minutes:
"I'm not gonna talk about basketball. Nothing has happened with our team in the last six hours," he said. "We're gonna start the same way tonight. Any basketball questions don't matter. Since we left shootaround, 14 children were killed 400 miles from here.
