Steve Kerr says he still feels the nerves every time the Warriors start a new season.
When asked about his emotions on the first night of play, the coach admitted, “I still get butterflies.”
The 47‑year‑old head coach, who has led San Jose to three NBA titles, explained that the atmosphere in the arena and the weight of expectations can be overwhelming. “It’s a different feeling each year,” Kerr said. “The excitement is real, and the pressure is real, but that’s what makes it worth it.”
Kerr described the electric energy that fills Chase Center on opening night. The crowd’s cheers, the lights, and the chance to showcase new talents all combine to create a “special moment.” “It reminds me why I love the game,” he added.
The Warriors are looking to improve on last season’s performance, and Kerr wants the team to stay focused. He told reporters that the same coaching principles apply every season, even if the team lineup changes. “We’re trying a different approach each year to see what works,” Kerr said. “That’s how we stay sharp.”
Heavy‑weight analysts predict that the Warriors’ chances for another championship are good, especially with new guard Jonathan Smith stepping up. Kerr acknowledged, “Our roster has strong pieces, and that gives us confidence for the season ahead.”
In a simple, candid moment, Kerr reminded fans that even the most seasoned coach feels that mixture of excitement and nervousness. “We are excited, and at the same time nervous, but we are capable,” he said. The Warriors will close the season’s run with a string of victories next week.
For fans, the takeaway is clear: Steve Kerr stays true to his love for the game, and the Warriors’ opening night serves as a reminder of what makes NBA basketball thrilling season after season.
