I've stopped hating basketball teams. There are only a few players I really don't like. Harden comes to mind. I'm a Warrior fan but I like LBJ and Kevin Love. (JR Reid not so much).
Kerr is a blessing to the Bay Area. I'm a long time Warriors fan. I've had my shot blocked by people who've had their shot blocked by Manute Bol. My bad was coined by Manute Bol! But I really wasn't watching the Warriors for awhile until I saw they'd 1) fired Mark Jackson 2) swooped in and got Steve Kerr. Jackson was a bad fit for the Bay Area and feuded with his players.
Kerr on the other hand had incredible pedigree. Lute Olson, Phil Jackson, Gregg Popovich, Mike D'Antoni. He played with Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan. He won five rings. Wow, the Warriors scored Steve Kerr! Bob Myers then won the NBA Executive of the Year deservedly.
Anyways, the Warriors are very popular in the Bay Area, yeah because they win but also because they're actually pretty nice people who are out in the community quite a bit. Bogut was kind've sour but extremely honest. A great interview. The only Warriors jersey I own is a Bogut jersey.
But I really think there's a lot for Silicon Valley to learn from the Warriors organization. Starting Iggy in the Finals (the Small Ball Death Lineup) was an idea that came from their video guy, was debated by the assistants and OK'd by Kerr.
