Playing on Christmas Day generally means you’re in the driver’s as an NBA contender. Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr recognizes that, but also wouldn’t mind sitting in neutral, at least until after the holiday.
Specifically, Kerr would rather be parked at home on Christmas, rather than hitting the road.
“It is an honor to play on Christmas — it’s a showcase and everybody’s watching — but I do think there should be a rule in the NBA that you can’t be on the road two years in a row,” Kerr told media members Thursday.

Saturday’s game in Phoenix will be the second consecutive year in which the Warriors have spent their Christmas away from their own trees and stockings. “Generally I like playing on Christmas. It’s exciting,” added Kerr. “I love playing at home on Christmas. That way you can still have a good family day Christmas morning with the kids and then go to the arena later. It’s tough being on the road for Christmas, but it’s part of being in the NBA.”
Kerr continued, even jokingly proposing a change to the league’s rules: “It is an honor to play on Christmas — it’s a showcase and everybody’s watching — but I do think there should be a rule in the NBA that you can’t be on the road two years in a row. Just making that clear. Because last year we were in Milwaukee and this year we’ll be in Phoenix, and that doesn’t seem right.”
Though Golden State will be road Warriors for a second straight season, this is actually the eighth-consecutive season they’ll be on the hardwood for Christmas.
“…I’m confident that next year we will be at home for Christmas. Or we will all protest and not show up,” Kerr joked.
FanDuel Sportsbook is of the opinion that Golden State’s Saturday won’t be very merry or bright. They have the Warriors listed as six-point underdogs to the hosting Suns.

The only reason anyone has heard of this anti American woke pos fool is that he played with the great MJ gtfo
Yep, jerkoff Kerr. Left wing White pussy.
Coach Kerr is more than wlecome to quit.
Why would Christmas Day be any different than any other day to this Godless, leftist, socialist dick head?
Who’s a bigger ahole Kerr or Pop?
I tend agree with him. For once.
I get it, but right now the NBA is in no position to whine and complain to anyone. They’re the most privileged, entitled, self centered bunch of people in America, and Americans are kind of done with them. The worst examples of practically every human behavior come from the NBA. Kerr should just keep complaints to himself. When you’ve spent 30 years in a profession like Kerr you obviously lose touch with reality.
Awm fragility alert…. Love it #VeryFinePeopleReplaced
You know Kerr is white right? Replaced by whom? Ever notice that in history mainly two contintents were taken over by outside forces, Africa and South America (include Central America if you like). Hmm I wonder why that is. But sure replace folks of European descent with those of African and South/Central American descent, I am sure America will be 3rd world in about 25 years or less. You really are stupid.
I am still waiting for the angry negro internet tough guy to name me one country on this planet where blacks are in charge of the govt( Africa)and the country is peaceful prosperous and free and democratic still waiting LOL
