You know Kerr is big into politics, domestic and global. “Part of me was kind of like, ‘Man, I need to know what’s going on,’” Kerr said. “And then part of me was like, ‘F— that, the world sucks right now.’ It’s awesome not knowing.”

Warriors fans on Twitter, Kerr’s preferred medium, have been especially critical of him this season. On multiple occasions, Kerr has fed the beast. “When I made my now infamous statement,” Kerr said, “everyone remembered the ‘chasing wins’ part. They didn’t remember the first part of the sentence, which was that we’re not going to run Steph for 40-plus minutes every night to chase wins. The mistake I made was saying chase wins. The key to the statement was, ‘We’re not going to play Steph 40-plus minutes.’”
