CLEVELAND โ Steve Kerr hasn't talked to any of the old-timers who say their teams would have beaten his Golden State Warriors.
But he sarcastically responded to them Friday before Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, saying they were right and "they would all kill us."
With the Warriors unbeaten in the postseason and a victory away from a second title in three years, a number of former players have said their teams would have beaten them. Magic Johnson has said that his Lakers would probably have even done it in a sweep.
Kerr, the former Arizona Wildcats star, mockingly agreed. He said after the Warriors' shootaround that "the game gets worse as time goes on" and "players are less talented than they used to be."
He added: "The guys in the '50s would have destroyed everybody."
