The Warriors won the bidding war with the Knicks for Steve Kerr on Wednesday, hiring him away from the TNT broadcast table to be their coach.
Despite Masahiro Tanaka's Subway Series brilliance and the Nets' season coming to an unceremonious conclusion, it was the Knicks who made it to the top of the Boomer & Carton rundown.
Steve Kerr, who was reportedly on the verge of becoming the Knicks' next coach, is not coming to New York after all, instead accepting the head coaching job with the Golden State Warriors, according to multiple reports.
