Kerr: 72 wins won't happen again

The Boston Celtics may have a 20-4 record, but Steve Kerr is sticking to his opinion that it's unlikely a team can win 72 games, like his Chicago Bulls did in 1995-96.

"I don't think it'll ever be done again," Kerr told the Boston Herald. "Every year somebody gets to 28-3 or something and then the talk starts, but it's just too hard. And there's really no reason to try because, I mean, it can wear you out. And if you win 72 and you don't win the title because you're so beat up emotionally, it's not worth it.

"The reason we did it was because Michael Jordan was just on a mission because we had lost the year before. He was a man possessed. He was (ticked) at the world. He wanted to re-establish his dominance, so he just never let up."
