Steve Kerr about the Finals’ series and Steph
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr praised the victory in the final series and talked about Steph Curry.
This may be the most unexpected title considering how things have been going lately, but I’m lucky. The reason for all this is Curry. I’ve said it many times, he reminds me of Tim Duncan. Humanity and self-confidence. The combination of these glorious qualities forces everyone to follow him. Of course, everyone who is here has done their best. However, I think without Steph it would not have been possible”.
