If history will especially remember the presence of LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry in this American selection, we must not forget that Steve Kerr led the “Avengers” with a masterful hand. This led to a controversy on NBA TV.

While some teams like the Lakers had to overcome the United States in the preseason, the Warriors had the opportunity to play at home this Friday when they hosted the Kings.

A small duel between the neighbors ended in victory, despite the low playing time of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

The leader was still in the spotlight on the court because he was invited to attend a small ceremony to present his Olympic gold medal. Not only did he participate in his first Olympics, but he was also a decisive factor in the victory of Team USA with a legendary semifinal and final. The French team still remembers it…

Is the coach not respected by FIBA?
Apparently, coach Steve Kerr was on his side, as he was also heavily involved in the coronation in Paris.

The presentation was quickly aired on NBA TV, giving former Timberwolves Sam Mitchell a chance to make a rather polite remark about Europeans… before completely falling off the wagon.

Back at the Clippers, Nico Batum admitted: “In the locker room, people call me…

Sam Mitchell: I just saw that coaches aren’t allowed to win medals in the Olympics… I think that shows what Europeans think about coaches. They don’t take them seriously. How can coaches not get medals with the players?!

Chris Miles: I’m surprised that coaches are getting paid for this show. You should be there for free, my friend.

Sam Mitchell: I looked at my paycheck and I’m not far off. Why don’t you agree to take less money for us? You brag all the time. Also, can you rent your second home in Florida during a hurricane? What about your giant house in Atlanta?

Seeing Steve Kerr without a medal on the Warriors court, Sam Mitchell regretted the treatment of coaches in Europe and FIBA.

Then, because of a little joke from the host, he decided to get angry at the management and his salary, before showing off his colleagues various real estate. An incident that foreshadowed a booming season.

Contrary to what Sam Mitchell said, in Europe, coaches are the most respected people. And if Steve Kerr doesn’t keep his medal as a souvenir, he will be able to console himself with a nice check from the Federation.
