Steve Kerr’s High Praise For Steph Curry
Playing a vital role in Curry’s Hall of Fame career, Steve Kerr has been instrumental in the 36-year-old’s legendary career. Witness to several such shows from No.30, the Warriors coach considers himself and the entire organization fortunate.

“He (Steph Curry) deserves these nights. Everything he does for us and endures. It’s so much fun to see him do this. Our fans and our coaches — we’re all spoiled…We need to cherish these nights.”
“He’s not going to be around forever and he’s one of the most beautiful basketball players who’s ever lived. We’re lucky to be watching.”
Considering Curry is in the final leg of his prime, fans can only be grateful as he continues to put on spectacles. One of the most influential players to step on the hardwood, the two-time scoring champion changed the game forever with a never-before-seen shooting range.
Introducing a rather unseen style of running the offense via the Warriors, which promoted an unselfish and fast-paced system of play.

When it’s all said and done, there will be a statue of Curry outside the Chase Center.
