Steve Kerr didn’t dodge the moment, breaking down the Draymond Green altercation with rare honesty.

Golden State had a solid Christmas week. The Warriors handled the Dallas Mavericks 126-116, pushing their record to 16-15 on the season. On paper, the lineup looks electric with Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, and Jonathan Kuminga, whom the team’s trying to push hard before the trade deadline, all contributing.

However, reality hits hard: Curry is 37, Butler 36, and Green 35. Age is a factor, and head coach Steve Kerr isn’t blind to it. Yet he’s optimistic. Speaking to The Athletic, Kerr outlined his mindset on chasing one more championship:

“We just don’t know when exactly it’s gonna end… If all the pieces fall into place, we think we have a shot… We’re trying to get one more.”

That “pieces falling into place” mantra became real last game, when Kerr and Green got into a shouting match on the sideline during a 120-97 victory. Kerr declined to provide details afterward, noting Green returned to the locker room, leaving fans curious.

Steve Kerr: The Architect of Warriors’ Modern Dynasty

Kerr is literally the mastermind behind one of the most dominant runs in modern basketball. Beginning in 2015, he guided the Golden State Warriors to four championships in seven years (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022), blending elite talent with a revolutionary style of play.

Remember that 2015-16 season? The Warriors set the NBA record with 73 wins, earning Kerr Coach of the Year, even though they fell short in the Finals against Cleveland. His résumé, though, doesn’t stop there. Named one of the NBA’s top 15 coaches during the league’s 75th anniversary, he also led Team USA to Olympic gold in Paris, 2024, with Steph Curry stepping up on the world stage.

Be it championship banners or Olympic gold, Steve Kerr’s proven time and again that he knows how to get the most out of his stars, a fact that remains critical as the Warriors steer through the twilight of their dynasty.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
