Steve Kerr injected humour into the conversation as he lightheartedly poked fun at Dillon Brooks, playfully teasing the idea of an “unlikable Canadian” during a recent encounter.
Before the Warriors’ clash against the Toronto Raptors, Steve Kerr was quizzed about his fondness for Canadian athletes. With a tongue-in-cheek delivery, Kerr humorously singled out Brooks as the sole exception to his admiration for Canadian players when discussing the Canadian Warriors guard Cory Joseph.
Maintaining his wit, Steve Kerr quipped about his limited knowledge of Brooks, highlighting Joseph’s commendable traits based on insights from Gregg Popovich. Kerr praised Joseph’s professionalism, leadership qualities, and on-court performance, showcasing high regard for the player.
The amusing exchange stemmed from Kerr’s past jest about Canadian fans during the 2019 NBA Finals, emphasizing their polite demeanor even when trying to rattle the opposing team. Kerr appreciated the challenging environment while playfully acknowledging the courteous yet competitive nature of Canadian basketball fans.
However, Brooks, known for his heated encounters with the Warriors in previous playoff games, remains an outlier in the typically positive interactions between the teams. Kerr’s playful jibe at Brooks revived the lighthearted banter surrounding their interactions.
