The Golden State Warriors already sport an All-Star team in the regular season, so it makes sense that Kerr will go with the stars he knows on Sunday.
Kerr told NBATV that he’ll play all four Warriors on the floor at the same time for the West during the 2017 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday.
Steve Kerr telling us on @NBATV he'll play four Warriors together, but not for long…and won't tell us who the 5th will be! #WhyNot

Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are starting for the West along with James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and New Orleans’ own Anthony Davis. Fellow Warriors Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are reserves, so a bit of quick subbing and that’s your four. But who is your fifth player? Depends on how you want to play, I guess?
It’s gotta be Russ, right?
Listen, I know Russell Westbrook and the Warriors are not exactly on great terms. But this is the year of the troll. Kyrie Irving is out here calling the Earth flat and NBA superstars like LeBron James are nodding their heads and playing along. Nothing is what it seems anymore, so why not try to cause a genuine scene on the floor of the NBA All-Star Game.
Kerr’s the coach. He can pretty much do whatever he wants. If Westbrook won’t play with a gaggle of Warriors that’s a decision he can make when his number gets called from the bench.
It will probably be DeMarcus Cousins or DeAndre Jordan or someone else who hasn’t sworn his life to the destruction of the Golden State Warriors, but it’s fun to fantasize about this all weekend and hope for the best.
