Warriors' Steve Kerr ‘almost embarrassed' by ‘The Last Dance' promos

Warriors coach Steve Kerr should not be on the promotional graphic for "The Last Dance" documentary on the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls.

Oh really? According to who?

The man himself.

"I'm almost embarrassed. I see these graphics for 'The Last Dance' -- these promos -- and they have Michael (Jordan), Scottie (Pippen), Dennis (Rodman), Phil (Jackson) and me. And I understand it," Kerr said on The Lowe Post podcast on Monday. "The reason I'm on there is because I'm the one who's famous because I'm the coach of the Warriors and people recognize me.

"And maybe people wouldn't recognize Toni Kukoc or Luc Longley or Ron Harper. Maybe their faces wouldn't mean as much to a young generation because this was 22 years ago. But that really should be Toni on the photo on that promo.

"He was an incredible player."

Just another classic example of humility from the eight-time NBA champion.

Kukoc was the Bulls' third-leading scorer that season at 13.3 points per game, while Kerr averaged 7.5 points. Kukoc also shot over 36 percent from beyond the arc, and averaged 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per night.

The Croatian native was a second-round draft pick -- No. 29 overall -- in 1990, but didn't make his NBA debut until the 1993-94 season.

Right before Kerr said it should have been Kukoc on the promos, he told a very cool story and praised the "Croatian Sensation" in the process.

"After we won (the championship) and after the parade and everything, we had a team dinner with our wives," Kerr shared. "It was just players, coaches and wives. And I remember Phil took all the players over -- just the guys -- and we all went around in a circle and toasted each other.

"Everybody had a cigar and a drink in their hand. It was surreal. Even though this whole thing had been laid out from before camp even started -- this is it for this group -- and we knew it all season. This truly was it. That was the last moment that we ever were all together in one room.

"It was really special ... I said a toast to Toni Kukoc because of what he faced coming over. It wasn't common back then for European players to come over to the league. And nobody had to go through what he did, which was the pressure from Michael and Scottie to earn his keep with the Bulls.

"All the sudden he shows up at practice and Michael and Scottie are all over him. And poor Toni -- he just wants to play basketball. So I said a toast to Toni because I just thought he was such a great player."

If only there was video footage of that dinner.
