Ten years already. It's been ten years since Steve Kerr took the reins of the Warriors with, as a result, four NBA championship titles and two lost finals. Under his leadership, the Warriors created a true dynasty, and the franchise became the most valuable in the NBA. But all good stories come to an end, and even if he extended his contract for two years last February, Steve Kerr knows he is reaching the end of a cycle.
“I think that in all sports-related professions, there is almost a lifespan. And as a coach, I think I will feel it when the time comes… “ he confides like this. “I didn’t feel it last year. I feel like we still have a few years ahead of us with Steph [Curry]Draymond [Green] and, I hope, Klay [Thompson]. We still have a future. »
We don't know if Klay Thompson will be extended, but Steve Kerr assures that he has lost none of his enthusiasm.
A very amicable separation
“We continue to recruit a whole group of young players who are doing very well. I love my job every day. I love coming to this room every day. How can you not love this place? I can’t wait for next season with the Warriors.”
With two years of contract, he has modeled his future on that of his leader, Stephen Curry. Only then can he consider withdrawing. Or not…
“Maybe the time will come in two years, when my contract is over”thus anticipates Steve Kerr. “Maybe that's when it will be time for me to move on and for the Warriors to look for new blood and new ideas. Each side will know when that moment arrives. But I can tell you one thing: it will be a very amicable separation, when it happens. »
