Boston Celtics fans don't like Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. They didn't like him after the Warriors beat the Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals, but they really didn't like him after Kerr decided to bench Jayson Tatum in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This week, Celtics fans really made sure to let Kerr know just how they felt about him. Kerr was booed relentlessly as the Warriors faced off against the Celtics in Boston on Wednesday. It was a moment that brought smiles to Celtics player's faces.

"I don't think anybody actually cared enough about me to boo me," Kerr said.
