Oracle Arena is thrilled to have Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr back on the sideline.
Kerr returned for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers after missing all but two playoff games over the Warriors' undefeated run. He had been suffering crushing headaches that were only relieved after Kerr underwent a spinal procedure.
The reigning Coach of the Year's return on Sunday was met with a loud ovation, not only because of Kerr's sensational record at the helm, but for all that he endured to get back to this point.
LeBron James also paid his respects by giving Kerr some love before tipoff.
