Golden State Warriors head coach said he would take LeBron James on the road in a Game 7 over anyone.
The Golden State Warriors have let a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals slip and will host the Cleveland Cavaliers in a decisive Game 7 at Oracle Arena. The NBA has to be thrilled about it’s two biggest stars in LeBron James and Steph Curry squaring off on such a grand stage rife with drama and you know Ayesha Curry thinks so.
But would you believe that Warriors head coach Steve Kerr would take LeBron James in a Game 7 on the road over anyone, including the Warriors stars.

And in case you think there is an outside chance that Tweet is fabricated, it is still live on Kerr’s albeit relatively inactive Twitter account.
If I had to pick 1 player to play a Game 7 on the road, I'd take LeBron 1st, KD 2nd and Joakim Noah 3rd. Noah is an amazing player/winner.

Now let’s take a couple things into consideration here. Who would he take at home in the Oracle Arena? Perhaps Curry.
This also comes before Curry’s back-to-back MVP seasons, so his opinion has likely changed.
