Kerr jokes 'it would be nice' if Trump, LaVar could be quiet

The developing feud between President Donald Trump and LaVar Ball isn't Steve Kerr's cup of tea.

Trump and Ball began a war of words over the weekend as a result of the former claiming credit for freeing three UCLA players, including Ball's son LiAngelo, from detainment in China for alleged shoplifting. The players thanked Trump, but the Ball patriarch dismissed the role he played in liberating the trio, leading the president to state he "should have left them in jail."

While plenty were shocked by the U.S. head of state's quotes, Kerr is simply tired of hearing about both outspoken individuals.

"Modern life ... Two people seeking attention and they're both getting it. I'm sure both guys are really happy. We know it would help if all of you just stopped covering both of them. Is that possible?" he asked the media during a scrum Sunday, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic. "You could probably stop covering LaVar; I don't think you can stop covering the president.

"It would be nice for all of us if both of them could just be quiet. Wouldn't that be great?"

It isn't the first time the Golden State Warriors head coach has expressed frustration with either Trump or Ball.

In March, prior to the Los Angeles Lakers drafting Lonzo Ball, Kerr warned LaVar his constant bragging wouldn't do his sons any favors. Kerr has also been public about his dissatisfaction with Trump, including in May, when he opined that the 71-year-old "couldn't be more ill-suited to be president."
