A day after being called out by name by President Donald Trump in the wake of the NBA’s ongoing situation in China, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr described his own situation as “surreal” while pushing back against the president’s comments.
Kerr drew Trump’s ire in a Wednesday news conference after Kerr, a frequent critic of the president, initially declined to comment on the NBA’s handling of the ongoing backlash surrounding Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey’s tweet supporting anti-government protesters in Hong Kong.

Kerr, who has been outspoken on many social issues he feels passionately about over the years, said he wanted to learn more about the situation before fully commenting.
After watching the video, Trump said Kerr looked like “a scared little boy,” something Kerr made reference to in his initial remarks Thursday.
