Overview
- Steve Kerr said Wednesday night on ESPN’s NBA Tip-off that coaching 38-year-old Stephen Curry reminds him of playing alongside Michael Jordan because of the nightly amazement and career longevity he sees.
- Curry is producing elite numbers in his 18th season, averaging about 30 points per game and shooting roughly 42.9 percent from three-point range.
- Last season Curry was limited to 43 games by patellofemoral pain syndrome, and Kerr’s comments frame the current form as evidence of recovery and durability.
- Curry’s play has coincided with the Warriors’ early improvement, as Golden State sits about 5-3 after a five-game winning streak while coping with an understrength roster.
- Kerr’s comparison carries weight because he won five titles as a player and four as a coach, and coverage treats his remark as high praise for Curry’s sustained excellence rather than a definitive GOAT ruling.
