Steve Kerr lived in LA for a major chunk of his childhood and was a Lakers fan growing up. The same cannot be said anymore though.

With the new season still at least a month away, Steve Kerr and the Warriors would be aiming to go after the Lakers. This might be something new for them, considering how for a good part of the last decade, the Warriors were the team to beat.

With the Warriors big 3 still intact, and Kerr at the helm, there is no reason the Warriors should be overlooked for championship contenders. It will be an uphill task to battle with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but the pressure won’t be on the Warriors alone.

The Lakers duo will have to make sure they can contain the dynamic Warriors, who got the much-needed rest they deserved, and are hungry for more.
