It is no secret that the Golden State Warriors ' coach Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry share a beautiful bond, and it has been reflected in their partnership in the games. While players like Draymond Green remain vocal leaders on the court, it’s the quiet power of the Kerr-Curry partnership that continues to shape the identity of the team. Of course, Curry has been the defining factor of the Warriors being one of the standouts. Now, in a recent interview, Kerr gave some more insight into their friendship.

In a candid reflection on their relationship, Steve Kerr recently credited Curry for the unique culture the Warriors have built together. “There’s no coincidence why this has lasted 11 years,” Kerr said (via The San Francisco Standard). “Steph has been an incredible partner and an amazing guy to collaborate with. He sets the tone culture-wise for everything we do. And we have a great bond.” He continued, “I think we share a lot of the same values as human beings. We share a similar vision of how the game should be played.”

Kerr added, “And we look forward to seeing each other every day. So why wouldn’t we keep this thing going?"

Kerr asserted that their friendship is beyond wins and championships. It's about a shared commitment to how the game should be played and a respect for each other’s values beyond basketball. Kerr likened his dynamic with Curry to the one he witnessed during his time with the San Antonio Spurs between Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan.

“It was very similar,” Kerr noted. “It was collaborative, it was authentic, genuine love and friendship. A lot of humor, a lot of joy. It’s hard to find that, but Steph and Tim are very similar in that regard. To me probably the two most collaborative superstars, the most easy to work with superstars that I could imagine.”

There would be no one to deny Curry’s long-time influence on the team as he helped regain the astonishing popularity of the $9.4 billion organization (per SportsPro). Although the Warriors are out of the playoffs, the arrival of Jimmy Butler has made the team more interesting. Still, Curry’s magic remains, as Kerr believes that the Warriors were shorthanded after Baby-faced Assassin’s injury.
