Steve Kerr on comparing 2022-23 Warriors to 1997-98 Bulls: This is not our 'Last Dance'
No, the 2022-23 Warriors are not 1997-98 Chicago Bulls. And Steve Kerr, a key role player during the Michael Jordan/Phil Jackson swan song and just a bit of an important piece of the Warriors’ reign, should be able to tell the difference. “This is not ‘The Last Dance,’” Kerr said on my podcast earlier this week, referring to the epic 10-episode 2020 documentary recounting those weighty Bulls days. “That was made clear in Chicago (back in 1997), that that was going to be it, Phil was done and everybody’s contracts were up. That was going to be it. “That’s not the case here at all. I know that Joe (Lacob) would love to keep this thing going. He’s been incredible in his financial commitment to keep this team strong and relevant for a decade. He’s always committed to that. So I think there’s a really good possibility that we keep things going here.”

Steve Kerr: “Draymond willed us to victory tonight. Just the intensity, the frustration early with the way we were playing. Mad at the world, yelling at everybody — their bench, our bench, me — and frankly we deserved it.” – 12:57 AM

I’d love to be a fly on the wall of the Warriors locker room right now. 13 turnovers, allowing the Pels to shoot 64+ % from deep. Steve Kerr better be making some tactical and rotation adjustments too. #dubnation – 11:27 PM

TNT notes that Steve Kerr is on verge of a technical foul. During #Pelicans last trip to Golden State, you could’ve said that about Draymond at least 27 times – 10:41 PM

Still no timeline update on Andrew Wiggins, per Steve Kerr. But Kerr says that Wiggins has been working out every day since being away from the team dealing with a family matter.
Once he’s back with the team, trainers will assess where he’s at conditioning-wise. – 8:25 PM

Prior to turning his attention to the NFL, Apostolopoulos was one of several bidders on a stake owner Michael Jordan is selling in the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets. -via Toronto Globe & Mail / March 30, 2023
Thomas told “All the Smoke” that he wants Jordan to be truthful about the issues between the two, though he did not go into detail. “I got no problem sitting down, talking with anybody,” Thomas said. “I live with love, peace, truth, honesty, courage; I stand on my square. I’m upright. I’d sit in any chair, and I’d talk to anybody. But some people they ain’t telling the truth.” Jordan and Thomas were bitter rivals during their respective playing careers in the 1980s and 1990s. There are a few different things that happened that resulted in bad blood between the two. Nothing seemed to bother Thomas more than the way he was portrayed in “The Last Dance,” and he has ripped Jordan numerous times since. -via Larry Brown Sports / March 30, 2023
