Why Kerr compare the Los Angeles Lakers with his 73-win Warriors team?
The Los Angeles Lakers are flying high on confidence and there’s no stopping them at the moment. LeBron James and co have got off to a wonderful start and currently boast the best net rating in the league.
The Lake show has soared high with their victories despite making some defensive changes to their roster during the offseason. Steve Kerr feels a part of their excellent form is due to their previous season’s triumph.
“They have the confine that comes with winning a championship and they don’t have the fatigue that comes with winning multiple championships,” Kerr said. “This is really a sweet spot. It’s where we found ourselves the year we won 73.”

“You come back and it’s almost like a continuation of your championship season. You’re on top of the world. Everybody’s happy. You add some layers to what you already did. [And you have] deeper confidence in what you’re doing, Kerr added.
Kerr is showing no hesitation in giving credit where it is due. The Lakers might be their rival team, but the Warriors head coach sees a team of champions who are sustaining their elite level of play.
