Coach Steve Kerr described his own situation as “surreal” while pushing back against the president’s comments.
“It was really surprising,” Kerr said prior to Thursday’s preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. “But mainly just because it was me. Then you stop and you think, this is just every day. This is just another day. I was the shiny object yesterday. There was another one today; there will be a new one tomorrow. And the circus will go on. It’s just strange, but it happened.”
