Steve Kerr's awareness shines through in both basketball and social scenarios. When Kerr makes a decision, he realizes the consequences of his actions. Therefore, he gave great thought to his decision to seldom play Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum during the Paris Olympics. The hate is coming, and Kerr braced himself for such a response.

During a recent appearance on the "Dan la Batard Show," Kerr shared his thoughts on his time coaching Durant in the Bay Area. The veteran head coach revealed his gratitude for the opportunity before admitting that throughout the superstar forward's last season with the team it was clear he had become ready for a new challenge away from the franchise.
