The leader of the main favorites to win the gold medal in Paris, among other things, talked about the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, while Telegraf's question had to do with basketball coach Dejan Milojevic, who recently passed away, and with whom Kerr worked at the Golden State Warriors.

Kerr spoke with a lot of emotion about his former colleague.

"Deki was an incredible friend, a wonderful coach, husband, and father. I think about him every day," said Kerr.

Then, the Golden State and the US national team coach announced that he will honor Deki in a special way when they play against Serbia.

"When we play the Serbians, I will for sure wear my 'Brate' (Serbian word for, 'brother') shirt and talk to some of my counterparts there. We'll definitely mention Deki and how much we miss him," Kerr concluded.
