“Want to See an Upset”and Steve Kerr Admits He’s Rooting Against OKC as SGA and Co. Look to Emulate

Steve Kerr says he’s rooting for an upset against the Oklahoma City Thunder as Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander and Co. try to replicate the Warriors’ dynasty. The Thunder have dominated for two straight seasons, with a 68–14 record and +12.8 Net Rating in 2024–25, then 64–18 and +11.1 Net Rating in 2025–26, leading the West and allowing 107.9 PPG (second-best). Kerr told ESPN that, as a sports fan, when a team dominates too much you want to see an upset, recalling the Warriors’ Finals narratives and his own experiences. The piece compares OKC’s run to a dynasty on par with Michael Jordan’s Bulls and Kerr’s Warriors, noting they’ve posted 80%+ win rates over two seasons, though Warriors still have an edge in longevity and titles. Kerr, a 1996–1998 Bulls member, understands dominance and hopes an upset might crack OKC’s winning formula. Like 👍 Subscribe 🔔 and stay informed. Visit NHENews.COM for more top headlines.
