Residents of Los Angeles have a lot to celebrate. The city’s Lakers and Dodgers just won the NBA championship and World Series, respectively. Tinseltown is once again Titletown. In a year where there has been little cause for celebration, LA is blessed with reasons to.

But not all of California feels this way. The notorious enmity between Los Angeles and Bay Area sports team is alive and well. ‘The Bay’ has been spoiled with sporting success in recent years, but the last two have been rough for them.

The Golden State Warriors lost the chance to three-peat last year in the 2019 NBA Finals, losing to the Toronto Raptors. Whereas, the San Francisco 49ers lost in this year’s Superbowl to the Kansas Chiefs.

For Steve Kerr, he has reason to be on both sides. He is the current coach of the Golden State Warriors. But Kerr was raised in Los Angeles and grew up as a fan of the LA Lakers. Therefore, it is safe to assume that Kerr’s loyalties will remain with the Golden State Warriors.

Kerr’s Warriors had a torrid 2019-2020 season, not even making the playoffs for the first time since 2012. For a team that had been to five consecutive NBA Finals prior to the season, this was a bitter pill to swallow.

Love lost for Steve Kerr and Lakers

The Warriors will look to reload and run it back this season. With the number two 2020 draft pick at their disposal, they will surely strengthen their already great roster. Golden State will look to take back the throne the Lakers now reign atop. For Kerr, he will have extra motivation.
