The NBA Finals are over, and the Golden State Warriors came out victorious, but Steve Kerr can’t stop talking about how Boston Celtics fans treated Draymond Green throughout the championship round.
When the Warriors played the Celtics at TD Garden, the Boston crowd was quite rowdy and frequently made some NSFW chants toward Green. During an appearance on the Point Forward Podcast, Kerr said he thought C’s fans crossed the line.
Kerr said, via Taylor Wirth of NBC Sports Bay Area:
“I thought they crossed the line. I’m all for booing guys, cheering for your own team. The appropriate cheer — if you want to go down that path — is ‘so-and-so sucks, so-and-so sucks.’ … when they were saying ‘F you Draymond,’ 20,000 people, I thought of Draymond’s kid too.
“Like DJ, five years old, sweet kid, like the nicest kid … this sweet and innocent little guy, and he’s gotta sit there and watch as his dad gets cussed out by 20,000 drunk fans. People don’t think of it in those terms when you’re watching from the outside. I do think it rattled Draymond a little bit because that’s pretty extreme.”
