Speaking of Kerr, I have to admit that he did bring four championships to the Warriors, but now, like the legendary coach Phil Jackson, in the twilight of his dynasty, only knows how to hold on to the glory of the past and ignore the challenges of reality.
Cole's tactical system is outdated. He's still obsessed with the old-fashioned three-point bombardment, ignoring the trends in modern basketball — the small ball and the transition offense. Today's Warriors are no longer the unbeatable giants, and their speed and agility have been greatly reduced.
Curry, the deified shooter, has a talent and hard work that no one else can match. But his talent was buried in Cole's tactical quagmire. Whenever Curry rests off the court and looks at those undisciplined offenses, I can feel his helplessness and confusion. He longs for victory, for that championship ring that belongs to him, but now the Warriors are no longer what he is familiar with.
So, for Curry, his road to the championship is here. He needs to get out of Kerr's shadow and find a tactical system that really suits him. Only then can he lead the Warriors back to the top. And all of this requires more effort and wisdom from him.
