One of my boys I grew up with totally despises Steve Kerr.
The Suns invited my boys pops to training camp back in 80 something...Can't remember the year, but I know it was during Kerr's rookie year.
He told me his pops used to hang with Kerr every now & then during camp.They weren't best friends, but had a mutual respect for one another.
Back in those days, the Suns stadium/practice facility was located right in the hood.After practice, my boys pops would go hang with some of his old buddies on the west side of Phoenix...only like maybe a 5 min drive from the stadium.
Well...one time he had Kerr with him.....and he ended up buying a sack of weed and some coke(I guess back in the 80's, that was like going to get a bag of chips and a soda..it was common).
The story goes he was outplaying Kerr in training camp and the Suns where actually thinking about keeping him at one of the guard spots and cutting Steve Kerr.
Kerr caught wind of it and decided to drop a dime on my boys pops.He told the Suns front office that my boys pops was doing drugs.
Long story short, the Suns cut my boys pops, he went into a depression, and commited suicide.
I forgot his pops name, but his last name was Mitchell....he got high off some sherm and crashed his car into the side of the freeway.Cold part about it, he had his sister in the car.She refused to get out because she was trying to talk him out of it.Still didn't stop him.He put the pedal to the metal and hit 100 mph right into a freeway wall.
Honestly, I think his pops brought it on himself......but still....that boy can't stand Steve Kerr...hates him
