In a warm-up for his role in the upcoming Winter Olympics, Snoop Dogg was given a microphone during the second half of the NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and the Clippers on Monday night at the Intuit Dome.<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t wait for those Olympics! Snoop hilariously sizzled when Warriors coach Steve Kerr stormed the court in the fourth quarter of the Clippers\u2019 103-102 victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Arizona Wildcat done came out of him. Look at him!\u201d Snoop said<\/a>, alluding to Kerr\u2019s college team. \u201cAw, Rawwwr, rawwwr, rawwwr!\u201d <\/p>\n Kerr was hit with two technical fouls in less than a minute. He nearly got one with 8:44 to play when Warriors guard Stephen Curry made a shot that appeared to be a continuation after a foul, but the officials nullified the basket. <\/p>\n Less than a minute later, Kerr found a new level of vehemence after the Clippers\u2019 John Collins wasn\u2019t called for goaltending on a shot by Gary Payton II. The four-time NBA championship coach <\/a>flew into a rage, aggressively gesturing at officials and screaming. <\/p>\n Kerr picked up the two technicals \u2014 his first in nearly four seasons \u2014 and was held back by Payton and assistant coaches before exiting to the locker room.<\/p>\n Snoop Dogg, who had joined regular Peacock\/NBC announcers Reggie Miller and Terry Gannon for the second half, rose to the occasion, his commentary keeping pace with Kerr\u2019s antics. <\/p>\n \u201cOh, Steve gonna get thrown out! Get him out of there. Get him out of there! Back him up!\u201d Snoop barked. <\/p>\n All Miller and Gannon could do was laugh as Snoop continued, referencing the location of the Intuit Dome and Kerr\u2019s Southern California ties: \u201cSteve back in Inglewood right now. Inglewooood!!! Get him, Steve! You in Inglewood, Steve!\u201d<\/p>\n Snoop will join NBC Olympics host Mike Tirico in Italy in February, riffing on stories that unfold at the Winter Games the way he did <\/a>at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. The NBA game was an indication he\u2019ll again be up to the task. <\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited to have Snoop bring his unique energy and passion to our NBA coverage,\u201d NBC Sports executive producer Sam Flood said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cIt will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch Snoop, Reggie and Terry talk hoops with a side order of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n Snoop said in the release that his debut as an NBA game broadcaster \u201cis a dream come true for me. I can\u2019t wait to bring a fresh vibe to the analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n For the record, official Brian Forte acknowledged after the game<\/a> that goaltending should have been called against Collins. Curry told reporters<\/a> that he appreciated his coach\u2019s passion.<\/p>\n \u201cTwo crazy calls in a row that you feel like can dictate the momentum of the game, it doesn\u2019t mean a win or a loss, it just dictates the momentum,\u201d Curry said. \u201cI love that fired up Steve, for sure. Somebody had to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
