Steve Kerr is a vulture

[Spurs m8]

Bloke rides the coattails of Jordan and Curry while being propped up by Luke Walton and a stacked team, yet acts like a smug piece of shit.

His whole career he has been carried

[smoovegittar]

Wait - those were MY thoughts...

[Horatio33]

I'd say he's pretty modest. He always laughs at himself and his good fortune, and works really hard too.

He played with Duncan for two rings.

[IGOTGAME]

his post-nba career has been filled with luck. He is an overrated coach

[Smoke117]

Steve Kerr is a treasure.

[bdreason]

He's smug because of all the success in his life, including 6 NBA Championships. I don't mind it.

Also, Greg Popovich is as smug as they get. Guy is so smug he dismisses sports reporters like children. Again, I don't mind.

[Spurs m8]

Pop earned what he achieved though, he didn't just land in the right place at the right time.

Plus Pop isn't really smug, he's just Pop.

Dude, Steve Kerr is a great coach. He's proven just as much as Pop has when he started getting smug (early in his coaching career).

Leave the man alone. Let's just sit back and enjoy one of the greatest teams in NBA history. Perfect coaching, perfect chemistry and the perfect superstar. :applause:

[stalkerforlife]

Warriors didn't come close to winning a title before Kerr.

[jstern]

Pop is not smug, he just goof around with the reporter. If he was involved in a business where the reporters didn't know his schtick, then he would probably act differently.

And after he won his first championship, he talked about how he doesn't give himself any credit, because any coach would have won with Tim Duncan. This was a long time ago, but the way he explained it had me wondering for years if he was truly a coach or just someone lucky.

Also, after winning like 3 or 4 championships, the Spurs went into a little bit of a slump, and he went up to higher ups to discuss if maybe he's lost his influence and maybe someone else should lead the team. It was extremely humble. Probably the most humble thing I've seen in sports. He was willing to step down for the sake of the team.

lol he literally got the dubs to win a championship last year when gsw was no where close to be in the talk with marc jackson. i think he has earned his recognition in the nba.

If my memory serves me right, Pop was the GM and he fired his coach Bob Hill after only 18 games ignoring the fact that the team was revaged by injuries.
David Robinson missed 76 games, Sean Elliot missed 45.
Pops great record? 17 wins and 47 losses, then they landed Tim Duncan and he NEVER relinquish the coaching position.
Going back to Bob Hill, the year before he got fired his record was 59-23(no Tim Duncan)
Before that, he took the Spurs to the WCF at a remarkable 62-20 before losing to Clutch city when Dennis Rodman refused to help DRob to contain the Dream bec he didn't want to diminish his rebounding efficiency.
Pops first full season with BOTH Drob and Duncan? 56-36, 3 less wins (as compared to Hill). Lost to the Jazz 4-1 in the 2nd round

Of course, no one would even know who Kerr is if Jordan hadn't spearheaded his name-recognition by tossing him the Finals-winning assist in 1997.

Before that, Kerr was just an ordinary 7 ppg floor-spreader off the bench.

[SpaceJam]

Spurs fan just mad that Kerr bout to win back to back rings, something Pop never done

That is so right, Phil NEVER WON any rings without MJ, while Jordan won rings at Washington and and Doug Collins.
And before you yap that Phil road on Shaq and Kobe,
He won 56 games without MJ, Shaq, Kobe in Chicago in 1993 with journeyman Pete Myers replacing MJ at SG.

[3ball]

[3ball]

don't count your eggs before they've hatched

[3ball]

Jordan, Kobe, Shaq never won without Phil


Phil wouldn't win a single ring without a top 15 all-time player on his team, but top 15 players have won MANY rings without Phil.

That kills your fantasy that top 15 players like MJ/Shaq/Kobe need Phil to win rings, since MJ/Shaq/Kobe are BETTER than many top 15 players who won without Phil.





Phil won 55 games without MJ, Shaq, Kobe in 1994 with journeyman Pete Myers and Kukoc replacing MJ.


Phil only made the 2nd Round without Jordan in 1994, after being a 3-peat dynasty WITH Jordan.

Falling from 3-peat dynasty to 2nd Round is a massive drop-off.. If we wanted to verify Jordan's 3-peat to 2nd Round impact, we'd ask him to come back and 3-peat AGAIN - done and done.. :applause:

Interestingly, the Bulls' DRtg in 1994 (6th) wasn't any better relative to the league than the first 3-peat (7th, 4th, 7th).. Accordingly, the massive decline from 3-peat dynasty to 2nd Round team was due entirely to the absence of MJ's goat offense (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12082990&postcount=185), which caused their ORtg to crater from #1 all-time (during the 3-peat) to 14th in the league in 1994.





Jordan's took a 2nd Round team (1994 Bulls) and made them 3-peat champs AGAIN


Jordan had goat impact on bad teams too.

In 1989, the 47-win Bulls would've missed the 45-win playoff cut without Jordan's 33/8/8 on 54%.. Heading into the 1990 season without Jordan, the Bulls would've been a LOTTERY team and headed nowhere, instead of ECF veterans and 1 season away from starting their 1st three-peat - that's the GOAT impact on a bad team.

Ultimately, Jordan carried that 1989 lottery roster to 6 games with the world champions, just like Lebron did in 2015 - except Jordan led that lottery roster all season, while Lebron only led a lottery roster beginning in ECF.


Also, Jordan faced EVERY POSSESSION double-teaming in 1989 Playoffs, especially against the Pistons' "Jordan Rules" in ECF.. Here's an example from Game 6, starting at the 9 minute mark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4W_0I82B18&t=1h21m11s) of 4th quarter - MJ is double-teamed 10 of 13 times he touched the ball to finish out the game.. All 10 double-teams shown are shown in gifs here (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11703590&postcount=88).

In comparison to Jordan being double-teamed 10+ times per QUARTER, Lebron was double-teamed a total of 18 times in the ENTIRE 2015 Finals:



"When James was double-teamed, the Cavaliers scored 5 points on 2-of-18 shooting".

:rockon:

[iamgine]

Kerr is a smart dude with lots of experience.

Someone who knows how to win by employing other more capable people than himself.

Basically the trait of an excellent CEO.

[stephanieg]

Cite examples of Kerr being smug.

[SsKSpurs21]

I got no problem with Kerr. Liked him when he played with the bulls. He was a fan favorite on the Spurs.

He has been fortunate but he also puts himself in those situations by being smart. he also has his share of playoff and finals moments where hes put his stamp on earning some of those championships. he wasn't a 12th man riding the bench.

with that said, he has learned that being smug sometimes helps when these reporters ask stupid questions. he has been pretty polite and giving the politically correct answer but sometimes you get these really dumb obvious questions where the reporter is trying to bait you into saying what they want so they can write a story about it.

[hiphopfan777]

He has most wins by a rookie coach. Won ring as rookie coach. Didnt lose back to back games this season. Most wins in a season.

[nothinbutnet]

Warriors didn't come close to winning a title before Kerr.

THIS. :bowdown:

Yeah, he earned having DRob and Tim Duncan :rolleyes:
Stfu

duncan coattails as well

[bdonovan]

I go back and forth on whether Kerr is a great coach or not.

On one hand
* Warrior won the championship with him as coach
* Warriors somehow got better after winning the championship last year. Many teams lose their mojo after winning.
* Warriors have a strong culture and players support each other. Team-first with people like Iguodala willing to come off the bench.
* Warriors have solid offensive plays and defense

On the other hand
* Warriors went 39-4 without him this year, and set the record for consecutive wins to start a season without him on the bench.

* Mark Jackson's patiently working with the team likely had something to do with the culture and teamwork. Warriors kept getting better every year under Jackson (then Jackson was forced out for political reasons). Solid draft picks (Barnes, Ezeli, Green in ONE year), as well as the evolution of players like Curry (who themselves deserve a lot of the credit) mean that Kerr had a lot of help.

* I can't help but watch Warriors games and as well as they play, basic adjustments that would make them better. The Warriors don't defend against the pick and roll well; they just let the ball-handler get free and shoot an open jump-shot. Look at how many teams like the Spurs handle it- they switch and have the defensive big man shadow his man, and then he switches to defend the guard. I don't know why the Warriors haven't done this with the possible exception that Bogut and Speights may be too slow to pull this off.

In the last game with the Rockets, there were almost no screens set for Klay even though they know he is a spot-up 3 point shooter and can't easily create on his own. I just see a lot of cases, esp in the playoffs, where great coaches make real-time adjustments (like Popovich) and I don't see that all the time with the Warriors. Pop makes adjustments I wouldn't think of, and Kerr doesn't make adjustments that even a basic NBA fan like me notices.

Spoelstra when Lebron left?
Pops? when did Pops ever coach without Duncan?
so now that we BOTH AGREE that MJ is GOAT and set this aside.

Its pretty clear this vulture was handed titles at Bulls and his *one at the Warriors.

I admit they were the better team last season , which is fine.

I just don't like the Warriors....their epic chokejob makes it pretty easy not to meltdown, they took care of themselves for me.
