Steve Kerr, coach of the Golden State Warriors, surrendered to the weight that Steph Curry had in the NBA title conquered in the field of the Boston Celtics, and considered that without him, “all this would not be possible”.
“What he does, because of his size, is very different from the traditional stars. He reminds me of Tim Duncan. Obviously on a physical level they are completely different, but it is because of his humility, his values, his talent, it is a combination that makes everyone wants to win for him”, assured Kerr in the press conference after the game won 103-90 by the Warriors.
“I’m happy for everyone, but about Steph… It’s that without him all this wouldn’t happen, and that doesn’t take anything away from the merits of the board for the team they built. But Steph is the reason all this happened.” For me it’s the icing on the cake of an already incredible career,” he added.
The Warriors won the seventh title in their history, the fourth in the last eight years, by winning the Finals 4-2 against the Celtics.
Curry guided the victory this Thursday with 34 points, six triples, seven rebounds and seven assists.
Of course, Kerr took advantage of this moment to ask, in a joking tone, that he be accepted to be part of the US team for the 2024 Olympics, because, he said, a gold medal is the only thing missing.
“What he lacks is an Olympic medal and I think he has to focus on being in the 2024 Games. I’m sorry I couldn’t hold it,” he joked.
“All titles are unique, special, this may have been the least likely, due to so many unknowns, injuries, Klay (Thompson), Steph (Curry), Draymond (Green), a new group and it is very special,” he said. analyze the weight that this victory in the NBA has for him.
He highlighted the defensive effort of his team and considered that “yet” he has not seen a team come out champion without defending with commitment.
And he expressed his delight for Klay Thompson, a player who was sidelined for almost two years due to serious injuries before returning to the top of his form this season.
“For him it was hard, for us it was special because of what he means to this team, because of his skills.
