Curry is my Duncan. Without Curry, I would have been fired long ago! Recently, Warriors coach Cole made this statement in a show.
In recent seasons, coaches of many teams have been fired, such as Malone, Brown, Vogel, Thibodeau, Jenkins, etc., and Cole has been standing firm.
Many fans believe that if Stephen Curry had saved Cole, Cole might have left the Warriors very early, and Cole himself agrees very much.
Cole happily called Curry on the show: I call him "Stephen God Curry".
He admitted in the show that one of the most important reasons why he is still coaching with the Warriors is that Curry is still with the Warriors. He emphasized that he is not humble, just like Popovich and Duncan, Cole's best friend and mentor. Every time he had dinner with the old man, Popovich would raise his glass and say: To Tim Duncan! And then everyone cheers Tim Duncan! This sincerity moved Cole!
Kor emphasized that the reason why Popovich sincerely thanks Duncan is that if there were no Duncan, there would not be four Spurs championship trophys. Popovich is actually telling himself: the only reason why these of us can be here is just like we picked up lottery tickets on the road, we got the lottery Duncan, but others did not (Kor played for the Spurs from 1998 to 2003 and won two championships with the team). The same is true for Cole's feelings about Curry!
If Curry hadn't been without Curry, Cole might have been fired like other coaches, and then wandered around for a few years. So Cole said excitedly: I am so lucky to be able to cooperate with Curry. The stability and continuity he brings make everyone's work easier.
In the 2014-2015 season, Kerr's first season coaching the Warriors, in a game against the Clippers, Curle defended tightly, dribbled through four defensive players in a row, and finally took a step back and hit a long three-pointer. This three-point also made Kerr realize that this was Curry.
At that time, Cole raised his hands high on the sidelines, as if surprised and even dissatisfied with Curry's choice of attack, but after the ball hit, he hugged his head with both hands, showing an incredible expression.
After the game, Cole admitted that this shot made him realize that this seemingly "bad" choice was actually reasonable for Curry. Since then, he gradually accepted Curry's ultra-long three-pointers and improvisation, and adjusted his coaching philosophy from then on, and then the Warriors won four championship trophys in eight years.
