6:54 pm
that means, brother in serbian. and so they wore those shirts to honor their brother and coach kerr visibly emotional today during his press conference, the first time he's talked to the bay area media. but he also had a light hearted moment to which one coach dickey would definitely approve of. >> it's relatively simple, you ask the guys, what would you want us to do? and i thought about it, and i literally could picture dickey smiling and laughing and saying, you need to go win a basketball game. and then laughing. and that's so, so sorry for the language, but i'm just i just wanted to share exactly what my vision of dickey. that's exactly what he would have said. >> looking forward to just to be able to get to the game and just be able to play uh. i know it's going to be weird to build up to it, but i just want to be able to get back on the court trying to get lost in in my love for the game and uh, you know, and think about all the memories and teachings that he gave me and just trying to honor him that way. that's the way, the best
6:55 pm
way i know how. so i'm looking forward to the games and, uh, you know, get some level of normalcy back. uh, will be good, but it's going to be tough. and just take it day by day. so the warriors will take on the hawks here wednesday night, their first game since mlk day. >> of course they missed those two games. the one in utah and then the home game against dallas. those are to be made up at some point later on. down the line. that hasn't been officially finalized. and of course, there'll be some ceremonies and some moments honoring coach dickey here on wednesday. it will be a very emotional night here at chase center. larry. >> yeah, a very emotional thank you, chris. on to the nfl. now, the 40 niners listed as early seven point favorites against detroit in the nfc championship game, which is coming up on sunday. and look they got to play a lot better than they did on saturday. just barely eking out a win over green bay. the game plan got wrecked. complete early when deebo samuel went down with a shoulder injury on the first series. deebo so important in the niners offense when he's out, it's a problem right now 5050 as to whether he'll actually be able to play on sunday. >> it wasn't broken, so that was a real good sign. um but uh,
6:56 pm
still hurting too much for us to really have an idea how it's going to heal up this week. so we just got to be patient and see how he feels on wednesday. and um, you know, based off if it's improving, it'll give us a better idea whether he has a chance for the game or not and embrace that thing up. >> bay fc media day was today the founding four owners brandi chastain, danielle slayton, allie wagner, leslie osborne showing off the new kit. that's the uniform for the new national women's soccer league team gets ready to start training camp tomorrow, and i'm not sure anybody had a better time at the chiefs bills game in buffalo than jason kelce. his brother scores the touchdown there and jason decided to rip off his shirt, jump out of his suite to join the fans. jason, the brother of travis uh- the chiefs beat the bills, but i think even bills mafia would have to look at jason and say, respect, dude. it was about 20 degrees, but kelsey. yeah, neither. kelsey was feeling any pain at that
6:57 pm
