Steve Kerr Feels ‘Incredibly Lucky’ to Have Steph Curry in Golden State Warriors

NBA fans all over the world are eager to see the return of Steph Curry on the court. Over the years, Curry has shown how important he is to the team and will be pivotal for the next season.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr, in a recent press conference, described how important Steph is for the Warriors. He said, “We are so incredibly lucky to have Steph. The guy that makes things happen for us but also is the face of the franchise. We’re incredibly blessed not just because of the type of player he is but the type of human being.”

Curry has been in the Warriors for 11 seasons now. He is certainly the centerpiece of the organization on and off the court.

Kerr also mentioned why Curry is a fan favorite and how the players in the league are becoming more driven towards on-court success and have moved away from the community.

He said, “I think fans really connect with the players who genuinely care about their community; they care about their team; they care about their performance, they want to see their players really committed to everything. Unfortunately, these days in the league it seems like the Stephs of the world are dwindling a little.”

He added, “So for our fans and our organization to be able to see Steph work every single night, see his commitment, see what he means to our fans, our community and the connection that he builds with everyone is crucial to the success of Warriors. So we are lucky to have him.”

How far can Steph Curry & the Warriors go?

The Warriors are seeing the return of two of their stars in Steph Curry and Draymond Green for this new season. Unfortunately, their third star Klay Thompson suffered yet another season ending injury.

Steph will now be playing much more minutes in order to take the offensive load. They have also brought in newer players like Kelly Oubre Jr. to replace Thompson’s output.

Their new acquisitions, Kelly Oubre Jr. and their draft pick James Wiseman, are also a step in the right direction. If Oubre can replicate his 2019-20 form where he averaged 18.7 points, 1.5 assists and 6.4 rebounds, he will be big offensive help to Curry.

Wiseman has all the attributes to become a longtime center for the team. Under Green‘s leadership, Wiseman can become a good center and hone his skills. His athleticism and defensive abilities will be put to test once he starts for the team.

The Warriors are starting their pre-season on December 13 against the Denver Nuggets. After this match, they have two games against the Sacramento Kings. The team will be eager to see how their young stars perform. The Warriors will surely be an exciting team to watch next season.
