"We know we need to make some changes. I know I have to be better. I didn't have a great coaching year this year."
-Steve Kerr at his press conference today on the Warriors making changes heading into next season
@957thegame You can be friends without you coaching right? If that's what you need. @warriors His retarded mind just cant comprehend any changes in the league!
“We’ve been together for 12 years now. It goes beyond just coach-player. It’s family. And so those conversations were important… They were very supportive.”

Steph Curry’s favorite draft night memory was how loud New York fans booed when Golden State selected him at No. 7:
“Well fun fact, not fun fact, horrible fact. That day was the day Michael Jackson passed away — June 25th, 2009. So I heard Jeff Teague tell this story on his pod the other day because we were in the same draft class, but it was my dad’s birthday, it was the day Michael Jackson passed. In New York, it was just the idea of being in the city getting dressed like, I did the old, it was like the premature ‘Get Ready With Me’ situations. When I had on my fit with a little purple tie, nervous is all I get out. But one, I didn’t know how long the night was going to be. And so you’re there for 2 hours before David Stern, at the time the commissioner, before he even walked out. And so, there were a lot of fans in there, a lot of New York fans, which is pretty awesome.
My favorite moment is how loud they booed when Golden State selected me at No. 7. They booed like crazy and I’m trying to have that moment, but I couldn’t get that distraction out of my head. It’s like, ‘Are they booing?’ I was like, ‘Oh, no, they really wanted me. I got it. That took me a second.’ In that moment, there’s just so many thoughts going on. But getting that call from Larry Riley, the GM at the time, Don Nelson, who was the coach at the time. Getting that call and being like, ‘Hey, we’re looking forward to having you. I’m excited.’ And then me quickly looking at my phone trying to figure out exactly where Golden State was. It was like all I was thinking about was New York. But careful what you wish for. And I’m glad it went my way for sure.”
