Steve Kerr joined the "Dan Patrick Show" on Wednesday and discussed a range of topics concerning the NBA, including his relationship with Michael Jordan.
When asked whether he would work for Jordan, Kerr didn't hesitate.
"I would have no problem coaching under Michael... but if you're gonna coach, you better have players, and they don't have players."

But the coaching questions stopped there after Kerr quickly mentioned a scuffle with MJ when the two were teammates.
"I disagreed with him one time," Kerr said with a chuckle. "I think he punched me in the face."
That disagreement happened during a scrimmage at training camp when Kerr took offense to something Jordan said, and he didn't refrain from expressing his true feelings.
"It was one of the best things that ever happened for me, I needed to stand up and go back at him, I think I earned some respect. But we have a great relationship ever since... you gotta prove it and then once you prove it, you're fine."

Kerr said he couldn't recall was the dispute was about, but I'd bet an argument that resulted in a punch from MJ would be difficult to forget.
