Chicago Bulls are going to face the Golden State Warriors tomorrow. Before the much-anticipated encounter, the bigwigs of the NBA were present at the Bulls Ring of Honor gala. While the event saw many celebrities stepping foot on the red carpet, attention too zoomed in on Steve Kerr. The decisions of the Golden State Warriors coach have been criticized on various occasions.

Kerr seemed to enjoy his time with the legendary coach Phil Jackson at a table. Jackson was associated with the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers last. As the photographs of the two coaches went viral on the internet, the GSW fans were quick to unleash their creativity in the comments.

From 1992 to 1998, Phil Jackson acted as a head coach for the Chicago Bulls. During the same time, Kerr was a member of the Bulls too. They together won 3 NBA championships in 1996, 1997, and 1998. As the Golden State Warriors are no longer the team they used to be, the fans went on to express ire at Kerr’s reunion with Jackson.

A fan said that Kerr was taking Jackson’s help to save the Warriors. He wrote, “Steve Kerr asking for tips on how to save the Warriors.”
