While speaking to ABC 7's Chris Alvarez, Kerr also revealed how he had once fined Drake. Kerr explained that during an earlier, he has fined Drake, Steph Curry and Draymond Green $500 for being late to board the Warriors team plane. "We had a home game, and we were flying to LA after our home game, and we all got to the airport and Steph and Draymond weren't on the plane," he revealed.

Later, after talking to staff members, it was revealed that both players were still at the arena with Drake. Unbeknownst to Kerr, Curry had decided to use his slots to bring Drake along. 

When they arrived, Kerr fined them. While explaining, the three-time NBA champion revealed that he and Draymond had been talking to Drake, which is what delayed their arrival. Drake even added the incident in his song Free Smoke – I took the team plane from Oracle.
