Kerr: “This is how I felt when I played with Michael Jordan”

Curry, the Warriors’ top scorer, was particularly impressive in the game, scoring 50 points while shooting 20-38 from the field, grabbing 8 rebounds, and providing 6 assists. “We created good positions at the start of the game and managed to connect attack and defense - that’s a big part of our identity, and we’re at our best when we do that,” he explained.

Klay Thompson expressed his delight with the performance of his teammate and friend, Steph Curry. Despite the team’s poor shooting, Curry’s exceptional skills as a double MVP and MVP of the final were evident, leading the team toward their goal in crucial moments. Thompson shared that when Curry is in his rhythm, they try to get the ball in his preferred positions and make way for him to work his magic. Thompson also remarked that the seventh game would always be remembered as the “Steph Curry Game,” and it was a privilege to watch him play.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr admitted that Curry’s outstanding game did not surprise him, as he consistently delivers brilliant performances night after night. He added that it’s easy to take Curry’s abilities for granted, but it’s important to be reminded that he is one of the best players in history. Kerr compared playing with Michael Jordan, where one would witness Jordan’s prowess every night and get accustomed to it. He acknowledged Curry’s strength, hard work, and focus, which are truly impressive.

“We all take him for granted because he’s brilliant night after night – we’ve been watching this for ten years. It’s a good thing to be reminded from time to time that he is one of the best players in history. This is how I felt when I played with Michael Jordan, you see it every night and you get used to it. The strength, the work he puts in, the focus - it’s amazing to see,” Kerr emphasized.

The Warriors will face off against the Los Angeles Lakers in the upcoming playoffs’ second round.
