Steve Kerr just returned from a back injury and is about to coach in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, where his Warriors are currently up 2-0 — which is cool, but not nearly as cool as this:
Ric Flair greeted Steve Kerr before Game 3 of the NBA Finals
Two platinum-haired sports legends in the same room.
While walking through security, the Warriors head coach ran into wrestling legend and “Rolex-wearing, diamond-ring-wearing, kiss-stealing, wheelin-dealin’, limousine-riding, jet-flying son of a gun” Ric Flair.
Unfortunately, the interaction didn’t explode into the WWE-style theatrics you might hope for. There was no screaming, hooting or hollering; just a civil exchange between equally blond superstars.
“I’m glad you’re feeling better,” Flair told Kerr in a surprisingly indoor tone of voice.
And we’re glad too — because if Kerr stays healthy, forget basketball championships: Maybe we’ll see a Steve Kerr/Ric Flair tag team in the near future.
One can only hope.
