We know Steve Kerr as the successful Warriors coach with three NBA titles, but there’s so much more to the man. Scott Howard-Cooper, an award-winning sports journalist, has authored an in-depth biography (coming out on June 15) assessing the life and career of Kerr. Scott joins Ray and Joe to talk about Steve Kerr, A Life. It’s a special podcast and a book you won’t want to miss!
The Warriors were starting to get on a roll until they ran into a rough 4th quarter in a loss to Myles Turner and the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.

Steph Curry is back in the lineup and he dropped 42 points on the Cavs in the Warriors win in Cleveland on Wednesday. He talks about how he is making progress in his return.
Our special guest is Tim Kawakami from the Athletic. He tells us why the online sportswriting site is successful and we chat about the Warriors season: “This is not going to be a smooth sailing season,” says Kawakami. “There are still going to be some episodes. I’m convinced of it. They didn’t ruin the NBA, because this is tough. This is a long season. You suffer through some things, you fight through them and as Steve Kerr always says, that’s the reason why you go crazy when you win a championship, why you spray each other with champagne. Not because it’s easy, because it’s hard.”
The Warriors followed a nice win in Oklahoma City with a stinker at Indiana.
