VIDEO: Steve Kerr Has the Perfect Troll Up His Sleeve for Shouting Raptors Fans
By Parker White
Game 1 of the NBA Finals begins tonight between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors, and the defending champs will have to begin their title defense on the road. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was seen out in public and some Raptor fans decided to shout at him and wondered if he thought Toronto would win in five or six. Here's his answer:
Raptors in 8? Steve Kerr's got jokes ?

Well done, Steve. Instead of blowing the fans off or getting angry, he said with a smile on his face "I might take eight." In a fun way, Kerr basically said that the Raptors don't have a chance.

It's almost impossible not to love Kerr. Yes, his job isn't as stressful as some, as he's coaching an elite team, but his carefree personality is endearing.
With the return of DeMarcus Cousins for Game 1 and potentially Kevin Durant available to play in this series, Golden State is rightfully favored. Safe to say it won't go eight games, though, Steve.
