CLEVELAND (AP) -- Steve Kerr hasn't talked to any of the old-timers who say their teams would have beaten his Golden State Warriors.
   
But he sarcastically responded to them Friday before Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, saying they were right and "they would all kill us."
   
With the Warriors unbeaten in the postseason and a victory away from a second title in three years, a number of former players have said their teams would have beaten them. Magic Johnson has said that his Lakers would probably have even done it in a sweep.
   
Kerr mockingly agreed, saying after the Warriors' shootaround that "the game gets worse as time goes on" and "players are less talented than they used to be."
   
He added: "The guys in the `50s would have destroyed everybody."
