On June 11, 2022, Stephen Curry put up a 43-point performance to give Golden State Warriors the edge in Boston Garden. He was red-hot from the three-pointer line as he made 7 threes on an even 50% shooting. He was there for his team when they needed him in a must-win matchup. Steve Kerr watched Curry put his team on his back like a superstar and couldn’t help but get emotional.

Kerr has been coaching Curry since 2015. They have had quite a stellar professional career together. Together they have played a total of 6 NBA finals in 8 years. A lot of the credit goes to the Warriors front office for drafting Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green and becoming one of the few ‘built not bought’ finals-bound cores out there.

Moreover, as the Golden State Warriors fell down 2-1, in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. With the Warriors‘ season essentially on the line, Curry put a game-high 43 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while dealing with a left foot injury. For Stephen Curry, this is more than a finals game 4. He is pushing his ranks through the top players in the history of this sport every time he steps foot on the court.

Kerr was interviewed by NBC Sports Bay Area’s Kerith Burke about Curry and this is what he had to say about him;

“That’s the thing that makes him special is his character, strength, and character matches his skill and level of conditioning,” Kerr told Burke. “It’s all tied together. He just cares so much. He works so hard, so easy to coach. Whenever I’m done coaching, I will look back and just say thank you to Steph. Night after night. He’s made this situation for us as an organization easy for everybody. And he’s just a special, special player, special person.”
