San Francisco: So, there was this intense moment during a game between the Warriors and the Kings. It got pretty heated between Steve Kerr and Doug Christie. You know how it goes—tempers flare, especially when you’re passionate about the game.
It all kicked off late in the third quarter. Draymond Green set a hard screen on Keon Ellis, and that’s when things escalated. Kerr was all about calling a flop, which led to a technical foul. Christie, not having it, rushed onto the court, clearly upset about the hit on Ellis. Domantas Sabonis had to step in and guide him back to the bench.
After the game, Steph Curry chimed in with his thoughts. He said it’s tough to let go of that competitive spirit, even after retiring. He joked that it was just two former players wishing they were still in the game. Classic Steph, right?
But let’s not forget, Kerr and Christie aren’t just any ex-players. They’ve had their share of scrappy moments on the court. Kerr once got into a famous scuffle with Michael Jordan during practice, and Christie had a memorable altercation with Rick Fox back in the day.
Fast forward to now, and things have mellowed out a bit. After the Kings snagged their fourth win in a row, Christie had some nice words for Kerr and the Warriors. He emphasized that he’s just looking out for his players and respects the hard work everyone puts in.
It’s all part of the game, and while the competitive fire is still there, it’s nice to see that respect among former rivals. Who knows, maybe if it were 20 years ago, that exchange would have looked a lot different!
