Fortunately for NBA fans, Snoop Dogg joined Peacock's call and led everyone through the ordeal.
Kerr exploded midway through the fourth quarter of a game at the Intuit Dome after growing frustration as the game wore on.It was a block by John Collins that stuffed Gary Payton at the rim and blocked his climb off the backboard that sent Kerr completely out.After Stephen Curry was called for a foul on the other end, Kerr became angry and accused the officials of yelling and arguing over it.
An assistant was needed, Payton and Gui Santos Kerr had two special problems to hold him back, leading to an ejection.Kerr then hurried off the floor and into the cave.

Snoop Dogg was a special guest on the Peacock's tripleheader broadcast on Monday night. He joined regular presenters Reggie Miller and Terry Gannon in a special event ahead of his participation in the collaboration at the Winter Olympics in Italy next month.
Although he didn't affect the game, his presence on the broadcast made Kerr's strikeout even more memorable.
Kerr declined to speak to reporters after the game.Instead, assistant coach Terry Stotts replaced him.
"I'm here to keep Steve in the money," he said via the California Post.
The Clippers led for much of the game Monday night, even building a 14-point lead in the third quarter before the Warriors stormed back down the stretch.Curry pulled the Warriors within one possession after hitting a huge 3-pointer with just over a minute left in the game before fouling out.Draymond Green, who was momentarily considered doubtful to return with a rib injury after crashing into the bench just before halftime, then cut the deficit to just one with a layup.
Jimmy Butler was about to hit the game-winner when his jumper fell short, giving the Clippers a one-point lead.
Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 24 points and 12 rebounds, despite shooting 0-of-8 from behind the arc.Kobe Sanders scored a career-high 20 points and seven rebounds, and Collins finished the game with 18 rebounds.The Clippers win increased their season mark to 13-22.
Curry led the Warriors with 27 points and six assists in the loss.Butler added 24 points and six rebounds.There were only two Warriors starters to hit double figures, and they shot just 5 of 19 at the 3-point line.The loss dropped Golden State to 19-18 on the season.
