(Reuters) - The death of boxing great Muhammad Ali was a huge talking point on Saturday for players competing in the NBA Finals, and prompted the Golden State Warriors to begin their morning practice with an Ali tribute song. "We started our practice with the old song from the 70s, 'Catch Me If You Can'," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr, referring to the hit single 'Black Superman' which was released by British singer Johnny Wakelin and the Kinshasa Band in 1975. Ali, who died on Friday aged 74, reportedly did not like the song, but it nonetheless became a number one hit in Australia while also charting high in Britain, the United States and elsewhere.
