NBA – The Warriors in difficulty, Steph Curry bluntly on Steve Kerr: “I don’t want him anymore…

Crowned champions four times in the space of seven years, are the Warriors finally experiencing their decline? In any case, this is what their current results suggest. A context chosen by Stephen Curry to speak out about his coach, Steve Kerr.

Certainly, they did not benefit from the most affordable timetable to best launch their campaign. Likewise, the period of doubt experienced by Klay Thompson as well as the repeated absences of Draymond Green did not help. Despite this, the start of the Warriors season has proven to be quite frustrating for their fans, but also for Stephen Curry who recently made his annoyance clear after yet another defeat.

Steph Curry’s big request for Steve Kerr

NBA champions in 2022, Steve Kerr’s men have displayed a worrying level of play since. Even more so this season, which is pushing some fans of the franchise to call for the departure of the coach. The latter, however, appeared with a smile alongside Curry on the show Headliners with Rachel Nichols, in which his leader qualified him… as the most skillful shooter of all time:

Steve can’t turn down that compliment. I know it’s not me. I know it. And I also know what Steve is going to say. He’s going to be like, “Look at the shots Steph is taking. Me, on the other hand, it was easier because I was wide open. » But you have to be able to shoot regardless. That’s the thing. I don’t want him to refuse this compliment anymore, because in the heat of the moment, he also felt pressure when he took his shots.

From a purely statistical point of view, Kerr actually has the best 3-point percentage in the history of the league (45.4%). He is thus ahead of Curry (42.8%), who is in no way trying to steal the spotlight. Quite the contrary. It turns out, however, that the Chef knows his coach well, since the latter has indeed sought to minimize his exploits and highlight those of his star player:

When you see how difficult Steph’s shots are… I mean, if he could just take three open shots a game, like I did every night, I’m pretty sure his percentages would go up.

Modest, the former Bulls and Spurs sniper therefore refuses this comparison with Steph, whose prayers from the middle, or even from the other end of the field before the end of a quarter would truncate this debate:

Everyone on Earth refuses to take these shots. Steph takes them every night. I don’t know how many he took in total, maybe a hundred. Imagine what his percentages would look like if you took them all away. But he doesn’t care, and that’s the beautiful thing. Steph loves the spectacular side and doing what no one else does. And it took me a while to understand that.

As Golden State’s golden era may be coming to an end, Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr take the time to debate who is the best shooter among them. And on this little game, they definitely don’t seem ready to agree!
