WATCH: Furious NBA coach Steve Kerr slams Texas school shooting

"I'm tired of sending condolences. I'm tired of moments of silence. Enough."


The coach of NBA team, the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr, did not want to talk about basketball on Tuesday, following a game against the Dallas Mavericks. He rather urged the US government to mandate background checks for gun purchases in the wake of the deadly shooting at a Texas grade school.

In a press conference a visibly upset and angry Kerr said: “When are we going to do something?

“I’m not going to talk about basketball. Basketball questions don’t matter,” said an emotional Kerr.

He added: “I’m tired of sending condolences. I’m tired of moments of silence. Enough.”

On Tuesday an 18-year-old gunman shot and killed 19 students and two adults at a school in Uvalde, Texas.

“I’m fed up. I’ve had enough,” said Kerr.
