Steve Kerr cracks jokes about defending Stephen Curry
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr had to come up with another creative answer to a question he gets pretty much whenever his team faces the Chicago Bulls — which team would win a matchup against the Jordan-era icons?
Kerr was a member of those Bulls, and he’s dealt with these questions before — but he had a new set of lines Wednesday about defending Stephen Curry.
Steve Kerr asked the usual question on how his 90's Bulls teams would fare vs Warriors. Kerr joked, "I would probably shut down Curry pretty well if I would’ve been matched up with him. I know his game so well as a coach now that it would’ve been easy for me to just lock him up."

Steve Kerr, tongue planted firmly in cheek, on mythical matchup between his Bulls and his Warriors: "I think I would probably shut down Curry pretty well. . . . With my kind of speed and lightning quickness, I could stay in front of anybody."

Remember, this debate became very common two seasons ago, when Golden State broke the 1995-96 Bulls’ regular season wins record. Kerr is probably sick to death of answering this question, so he may as well have some fun with it.
