Steve Kerr Details Unique 'Brilliant Quality' Stephen Curry Has

Steve Kerr on Stephen Curry's "Brilliant Quality"

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is often credited with the emergence of Curry.

In his first year under Kerr, the Warriors won their first of four titles and Curry his first of two Most Valuable Player awards.

You'd think that, now together for a decade, nothing would surprise Kerr about Curry's play, but that's far from the truth.

Kerr appeared on 95.7 The Game in the Bay Area to discuss Curry's Game 1 performance against Amen Thompson.

"He sees everything. He hears everything," Kerr said. "He just has the right sense of how to motivate himself and how to play at the best of his ability when the best is needed. It's a brilliant quality that only the very best competitors share and Steph has it."

While the final score of 95-85 looked like something out of the 1990's, Curry scored nearly a third of the team's points, finishing with 31.

The Warriors were visibly bothered by the size of the Rockets threw at them while they attempted to come back in the fourth quarter.

Curry was guarding Thompson on the defensive end. While the Rockets didn't go to him much, Thompson turned into an offensive rebounding machine, pulling down five in the second half. Second-chance opportunities are something to watch going forward.
