Warriors: Steve Kerr: "There's no way I'd make it in today's NBA"

[HarlemHeat37]

“Just watching our guys and how talented they are and how talented Houston is, there’s no way I could have played in the NBA today,” Kerr said Monday during Game 1 of the WCF. “I came around at the right time, 20 years ago.”



Obvious statement, but refreshing and honest take..

I wonder if Lebron could post up Kerr.

[Spurtacular]

He's just massaging the egos of his players, tbh.

This and his legacy benefits more from being a coach than a player. Let's be real if he never coached nobody would have remembered who he is versus now people will know who he is 20 years from now.

The way guys like Korver and Re have to shoot on the move without hesitation makes you appreciate the work they put in to survive as white Americans in a league that has eradicated their kind..

[ambchang]

Obvious given he’s about 55 years old now

This.

There’s a premium on three point shooting. And there’s less emphasis on individual man defense.

Depending on the team and roster, his role may change. But his elite shooting would give him more than a chance to stick.

For christ sake, Jodie Meeks has carved out a nearly decade NBA career doing absolutely nothing well but shoot the ball. I actually think right now would have been a better time for the Jimmer to come out of school.

kerr would just have to learn how to keep running around screens and shoot right off the catch. if kerr could get that down he could be an asset in todays game

[Thebesteva]

Apparently, neither can Lebron

This.

imagine Miller, Mark Price , Abdul Rauf and Bird in today's NBA

Ehlo would be the equivalent of Klay ing Thompson in t: lolday's NBA

[Chris]

This is a form of bravado. I can't quite explain it.

[Spurtacular]

Would anyone take nick young over kerr?

[Clipper Nation]

Would anyone take nick young over kerr?

I'd take Kerr right now at age 52 over Jimmer, that's for sure.

Bro, I ain't even trying to get dat free rent.

that argument only works if you actually make the shots..

[ViceCity86]

He’s not lying. More than half of his 72 win Bulls roster wouldn’t make an Nba team today.

Lol ok steve. Nick young, javele mcgee, and the whole cavs team sans lebum wouldnt get minutes in any other era

[DMC]

He pulled SA's ass out of the fire up in Dallas. That wasn't 20 years ago.

[FrostKing]

Kerr started a grand total of 30 games in his career. He couldn't be a corner 3 shooter off the bench in today's NBA?

Is Kerr overrating his own career/accomplishments
