On August 15th, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently made a rare statement on the "Glue Guys Podcast" about his coaching longevity, stating that Stephen Curry is the secret. The four-time NBA champion admitted that without Curry, his coaching trajectory would likely be similar to that of most NBA coaches, who would only be able to stay a few years before finding another job.

Kerr frankly stated that his continued coaching career is entirely due to Stephen Curry's continued presence. He used the story of Gregg Popovich raising his glass " to Tim Duncan " to emphasize the importance of a superstar player to a coach's career. He also admitted that without Curry, he would have left after a few years like other NBA coaches, looking for opportunities elsewhere. He lamented that his long-term partnership with Curry is a great blessing, as Curry brings stability and continuity to the team, making the entire team's work atmosphere and operations more relaxed and smooth.

As for how he keeps the Warriors fresh and competitive after 11 years as coach, Kerr shared his approach: " The game changes every year, which is amazing. I think it's very important to work with the coaching staff and encourage young coaches to bring ideas to the table. I rely heavily on my young coaching staff. "

Since 2014, the partnership between Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry has brought the Warriors four NBA championships. This golden duo's story has become league legend. Next season, they will once again challenge for a championship, which could be one of Curry's last chances before retirement.
