In the aftermath of the Golden State Warriors’ 142-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked by The Athletic’s Anthony Slater what his favorite moment of the trip has been.
One would think that seeing Stephen Curry explode for 40 points in three quarters would be fresh in Kerr’s mind. But no, Kerr instead went with a foot massage he had the day before as the highlight of his trip.
Steve Kerr asked about his favorite part of the trip: "The foot massage I got yesterday."

Chalk this up as another instance of Kerr showcasing the trademark wit and sense of humor that he’s been known to have.
Although, there may be a bit of truth to Kerr’s answer. Overseas trips for NBA teams are usually pretty stressful affairs, with a lot of activities and commitments expected to be met over a short period of time.
Head coaches likely aren't fans of those trips either, as they place added stress on the team when they should be placing a lot of their focus on preparing for the season.
Maybe the foot massage he had was a rare opportunity for Kerr to get some peace and relaxation during this trip. Or maybe the foot massage had some secret Chinese twist to it and was really that good.
