Kerr Kriisa

Why did/does his jersey have Kerr on the back vs Kriisa? I didn’t previously notice that but admittedly, I haven’t gotten to see some of the earlier games. Not important, just curious. Has this been discussed?

I'm not positive, I think it maybe a tribute to Steve Kerr who I believe he may have been named after. Hopefully someone in the Rafters family can nail it down for certain for us.

I think that’s all it is. He was named for Kerr and started out playing for Kerr’s alma mater. Seems like he just stuck with it subsequently.

Supposedly that’s a thang in Europe and he’s European so he does it here.

Apparently no rule on it.

Must be pretty incredible to admire someone that much, actually be named after them, and follow in their footsteps as much as Kriisa has done with Kerr so far. Would love to see him get picked up as a roleplayer in the league. (Stranger things have happened as a result of the lift players get when they win a title). And follow Kerr through that step too. I bet Kriisa could make an awesome coach some day. Has just the right combination of introspection and edginess.
