SACRAMENTO  The play instantly went viral as Rockets guard James Harden unleashed a 3-pointer on Thursday night against San Antonio after performing a shuffle step.
The tweet instantly went viral as Warriors coach Steve Kerr lamented his frustrations with how the NBA interprets traveling violations.

I thought it was a direct message, Kerr said following the Warriors morning shootaround before Fridays game against the Sacramento Kings. My new iPhone is killing me.
Kerr recently purchased the iPhoneX, and he said he has had problems ever since. First, Kerr accidentally recorded an entire dinner conversation with his family that turned into a text message. Second, Kerr responded to Hardens video clip that was sent to him with a tweet instead of a direct message.
Oh no, Kerr recalled thinking when he realized his words turned into 140 characters. So Kerr consulted Warriors player development coach Chris DeMarco, who helped him delete the tweet within 30 seconds.
What do you think? Kerr recalled asking DeMarco. Am I going to get away with it?
Hell no, Kerr recalled DeMarco answering.
Not when Kerr is the Warriors coach. Not when he is lamenting a call against an NBA star on a rival team.
Fortunately it wasn’t anything too damaging, Kerr said.
But what did Kerr dislike about Hardens move?
I didn’t say anything, Kerr said. It was a private, direct message that somehow slipped away to the rest of the world.
And now the rest of the world wont forget.
I didnt have much time to rag on him, Warriors coach Stephen Curry said. But that wont die down in our locker room too quickly.
But at least Kerrs phone was not hacked.
Oh yes, I was, Kerr said. Thanks for reminding me. Totally forgot.
