  1. [Source via the Golden State Warriors YouTube](https://youtu.be/oelwFcZpnU0?si=uaU9xZoTpELmGPaj&t=76), from Kerr’s post-game presser. 3min segment, initial question starts at about 1:15.

    Transcript:

    >*Q*: Kind of beyond the game. How will you remember this trip to Minneapolis?
    >
    >***A:*** It was pretty crazy to be here for four straight days during this, during all these events. To witness everything firsthand, it was meaningful. It was very sad, but I’m glad we were here. I’m glad we were able to see the people here in Minneapolis and try to help them forget by playing a couple of basketball games. It’s obviously going to take a lot more than that, but it’s a very resilient city. It’s a really tough situation and sad being here. Last night was a really somber atmosphere. I thought tonight was better, it felt like fans were more into it, more enjoyable in terms of just taking in the game, but definitely a tough few days.
    >
    >*Q:* Steve, to to follow up on that, you’ve been through a lot of different weeks throughout your career. How would you put into context the emotions of the entirety of this week for your group?
    >
    >***A:*** Obviously we are the visitors here, we’re the observers. This is not our city, but we know all those guys on the Timberwolves. To talk to them, talk to Chris Finch, and to hear what they’re feeling, their families are feeling, and then to see literally up close the people in the streets, the tragedy, knowing it was right down the street from us. It was almost surreal, I mean, it was really a bizarre few days.
    >
    > We have a lot of empathy for the people here, and we’re really hopeful that the protests here and nationwide will lead to a much better solution for immigration. It’s not like they’re rooting out violent criminals. They’re taking 5-year-old kindergarteners and US citizens and detaining people. Immigration is a problem that needs to be addressed, but it needs to be addressed by Congress legislatively, not by a military force and in the streets, pulling people from their homes.

  4. Where’s all the virtue folks talking that shit on him when he spoke up a few days ago? Saying he normalized what Trump is doing? Idiots

  5. That’s my coach! So proud to have leadership that cares about the moment! So beautiful and thank you Kerr!
