Steve Kerr Would Have Played Kim Jong-un in Basketball if Obama Asked Him to

In an alternate universe, Warriors coach Steve Kerr could have played North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-un in basketball. You read that right.

Kerr said he would have played him in basketball too, but only if Barack Obama asked him to.

During Obama's first term as president in 2012, Marcus Noland, an economist who studied North Korea, was summoned by Obama to council him as he brainstormed ways to improve relations with the reclusive country, he told The Athletic.

Very little was known about the supreme leader except he was a huge fan of the Bulls dynasty of the 90s.
