“I think he’s dead on because Steph is the most unique superstar of all time,” Kerr said of O’Neal’s comments to Mark Willard and Dan Dibley. “He broke barriers, he changed the game. And what he does, really to this day, is unique to himself. I just can’t even imagine anybody doing the stuff he does. “It’s different; the way he impacts the game is different. When you have these conversations about ‘Who’s the greatest ever?’ you automatically go to these genetic marvels; you know, LeBron and Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain and whoever else. Steph doesn’t fit that normal mold. I love that Shaq is bringing that up because, from a skills standpoint, it’s not even close. [Curry] is the greatest ever from a skills standpoint.”

The Nets devised a gameplan entirely focused on taking Steph Curry out of the game. He has 31 points on 11/17 from the field and 6/10 from three with five minutes remaining.
That’s what the great ones do. – 9:53 PM

Easier said than done, but he’s held up well thus far. – 7:53 PM

Jonathan Kuminga scrimmaged yesterday. He’s at late stage of ankle recovery. There was some hope he’d come back on this road trip, but green light hasn’t come yet.
Steve Kerr: “He has to feel right. He has to feel healthy. He has to feel explosive. We can’t rush that.” – 6:10 PM

The Warriors are 9-1 with Jimmy Butler. The most impressive of those wins just came against the Knicks. Steve Kerr and Butler talked about their forming identity and Steph Curry’s gravity afterward.

Steve Kerr said the Warriors are developing a “real identity.”
What is it?

Steve Kerr loved this win and how Golden State stuck it out after a slow start. He loved what he saw from Jimmy Butler, who calmed things down, showed poise and then got to the line when Warriors needed it most. Kerr said Butler “bludgeoned” his way to the line when he had to. – 10:24 PM
