When LeBron James decided to invest in the gilded soccer club of Liverpool FC, the NBA and soccer worlds collided. It is great to see that one of the greatest basketball players ever and a legendary club in soccer has found a way to partner with each other. This opened the doorway for other NBA athletes to venture into the world of soccer. Recently, Mohamed Salah, a Liverpool striker, tweeted about Steve Kerr.
Kerr is currently the head coach of the Golden State Warriors and is one of the most successful players and coaches in basketball. Steve has won everywhere he has gone; Kerr won two championships with the Spurs and three with the Chicago Bulls. He also has four championships as a coach. This is probably one of the things that makes him legendary in the sport. Salah, who himself is a winner in his sport, recently tweeted a picture with Kerr and captioned it about meeting the ‘legend’ Steve Kerr.
This was enough to set the Twitter world on fire. Fans of both sports started pouring in and reacted to the tweet. Some fans were perplexed as to what an NBA player was doing talking to Mohamed Salah. The Tweet became a hot topic soon and gained a lot of traction on the social media platform. It amassed an insane 3000 re-tweets and 100,000 likes in no time!

Kerr said,” What I like is that he also seems to enjoy it; it’s not just that he’s a madman. He’s laughing, smiling, and fist-pumping, and I love the concept of joy in sports. It’s one of the most important values to the Warriors and me. Steph Curry — you watch him play, and there’s so much joy.”
