Steve Kerr offers heartfelt reflection on this MLK Day

Martin Luther King Day is always an important day for America to honor the legacy and life of King. For Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, there was a special significance on this MLK Day.

Kerr arrived to his press conference ahead of Monday's Warriors-Cavaliers game wearing an MLK T-shirt. With Donald Trump's inauguration set for Friday, Kerr was asked to reflect on MLK Day after his previous comments on Trump.

Kerr said:

"There's definitely a divide right now. So I think today is full of significance in terms of reminding everybody to be compassionate, to be empathetic. I was looking at some of Martin Luther King's quotes this morning, and one of them that I hadn't seen before that was really simple and to the point was: 'We may have all come over here on different ships, but we came over on the same boat.' I thought that was really well said. It's a reminder that we are all products of our environment, some of us much more fortunate than others. I know from my own life, there's no way I'd be sitting here without the family support that I had, upbringing that I had. So many people are left behind. So it's critical for people to have compassion and have empathy and I'd hope during these times - with so much anger and divide - that we'd be reminded of that today."
