Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that the feeling the team has experienced in the last few years has been similar to Chicago Bulls of the 1990s. Kerr was a part of the Bulls side as a player alongside the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen among others.

Kerr saw similarities between both the teams talking about it to the media on Tuesday.

“The experience is actually very similar. Especially when we signed Kevin Durant and we had this array of talent in the starting lineup,” Kerr said as per NBC Sports. “And so everywhere we would go, there were people waiting outside the hotel and reminded me so much of Chicago, you know, just the anticipation.” 

Steve Kerr has coached a star-studded Golden State Warriors

As a player, Kerr played for a dominant Bulls side between 1993 and 1998. As a coach, he has steered the Warriors to a similar kind of success. When the Bulls created a new record for the most number of wins in a season, Kerr was a part of it as a player. In the 2016/17 season, the team that he coached broke the record winning 73 games.

Both the teams have demanded great attention from the crowd with their performances. While the older generation had players like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman, players like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson have been a part of the Warriors side.

But one big difference Kerr finds between the two generations is the media attention. In the digital generation, Kerr felt, the players always have the media around them even when they were not playing the game.

“The biggest difference that I recognize then and now is what the players have to go through once they leave the facility,” Kerr said. “The media attention was incredible at the facility, at games, but when you go home, that was it. It was over. This was pre-internet or at least pre-social media.”
