On Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors were set to meet the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals. However, before the game was set to tip-off, Steve Kerr rightfully didn’t want to talk about basketball.
Just around 350 miles from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. During his pregame press availability, the Warriors coach addressed Tuesday’s tragedy in Uvalde.
For almost three minutes, Kerr delivered an impassioned plea to senators and lawmakers to take action on gun control. “When are we going to do something?” Kerr emotionally asked as he slammed his fists to the table in frustration and sadness.
