Head Coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr was asked about his feelings towards his MVP’s season and he responding saying,

“I think Steph in a lot of ways is like Michael Jordan because there are so many moments that stand out that they all bleed together… Maybe that’s a true sign of greatness.” He also said,”It’s hard to even fathom where this record (3-point record) will stand when he retires. He will obliterate it…it’s sort of mind-numbing.”

Well said Coach! The reason why this opinion stands out is because Kerr has played and won titles with Michael Jordan himself. Coach even believes the player may go lights out from deep during their upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
