In a light-hearted moment that had everyone laughing, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made some hilarious remarks about the recent trade acquisition of Dennis Schröder.
During a press conference, Kerr expressed his excitement about having Schröder on the team, highlighting their past encounters on the court.
“I’m thrilled. I told Dennis today he’s kicked my ass on three different continents. If you can’t beat him, join him,”
Kerr quipped, drawing laughter from the media and fans alike.

Schröder, a seasoned point guard, has indeed made his mark on basketball courts around the world. From his early days in Germany to his stints in the NBA and international competitions, Schröder has consistently been a great opponent. Kerr’s comment about being “kicked” by Schröder on three continents directly reflects his time playing for the Lakers, where Dennis helped beat the Warriors in the playoffs (North America), as well as Team Germany, with whom Schröder beat Team USA in the World Championships in the Philippines (Asia), and came awfully close to beating them again in London (Europe) this summer.
The trade brings Schröder to a Warriors team that is looking to bolster its roster and make a deep playoff run. Kerr’s enthusiasm about the acquisition is shared by the entire organization, as Schröder’s skills and experience are expected to be valuable assets.
“Dennis brings a lot to the table. His speed, his playmaking ability, and his defensive tenacity are things we’re really excited about,” Kerr added.
As Schröder joins the Warriors, fans can look forward to seeing how this new addition will contribute to the team’s success. And if Kerr’s remarks are any indication, the journey ahead promises to be both competitive and entertaining.
