Stephen A. Smith might not have mastered the trick of spinning a basketball on his finger, but he has earned significant trust from Steve Kerr. As the Golden State Warriors player and coach teamed up to represent Team USA, Kerr had some high praise for Steph Curry.
“He’s a brilliant player, but the comfort level [Steph Curry and I] have together. We’ll run some of the actions we run in Golden State for him,” Kerr said.
Kerr later revealed that Curry is like a supportive hand who makes the communication process in Team USA much smoother.
“He’s very familiar with everything we’re doing. But it’s not just X’s and O’s. It’s, you know, he’s one of our leaders, and for me to have the ear of one of our leaders and vice versa, I think it helps the communication process with the rest of the team,” Kerr added.
Steph Curry was the first player to arrive at the Team USA training camp in Las Vegas. His last appearance for Team USA was during the 2014 FIBA World Cup.

I don’t think [it will be replicated] just because it’s very hard to keep things together in this league,” Steph said during an interview with ESPN.
Together, they won four NBA championships and six trips to the NBA Finals throughout these 13 years.
“A lot more player movement. Me, Klay and Draymond, we complemented each other so well for so long. We all brought something different to the table, so we’ll see. Records are meant to be broken. Dynasties come all different shapes inside of us so we’ll see,” he added.
