The Golden State Warriors are doing their best to turn their season around after a bad start to the 2022-23 campaign. It looks like the previous title winners lost their groove after winning the trophy last year. But the course the team has chosen now makes the Warriors an unstoppable force. And after Steph Curry’s return to the squad, the roster is more lethal than ever. And he made his intention clear to reach the finals by scoring 41 points on Monday against the Wizards.
The 34-year-old point guard made history on Saturday when he played his second game after the injury against the Spurs. Steph Curry broke the NBA record for the most game attended. And the fans continued to chat MVP-MVP as he glided and danced on the court. This triggered a comparison between him and Michael Jordan, who also used to fill whole stadiums. The Warriors’ head coach even went on to call him the modern Michael after the game.
Steve Kerr Believes Steph Curry Resembles Michael Jordan
After winning the title last year, the Warriors had a rough start to their 2022-23 season. However, it did not take them long to bounce back from the bad phase to become one of the favorites to win the title. Meanwhile, the Warriors are a popular team on their own, considering their rich history, but Steph Curry also remains the major reason for attraction. He has been so famous that the Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr believes he is the modern Michael Jordan. Steve might get a little biased as Curry sides with his team, but his popularity stays another reason to strike a comparison.
The Warriors are a great team, but it becomes an out-of-the-world squad when Steph Curry adds to the team. According to Kerr, he invokes emotions inside people with his spectacular plays and skills. The Warriors’ head coach also believes that the 6’3” point guard relates to normal people as he is not the biggest man on the court. But it does not stop him from putting his best foot forward as he glides past the defenders. However, Steve has not been just the head coach to Curry but also played alongside legendary MJ. This makes him more than qualified to make such comparisons, including a modern player and a past legend.
The reason for such a comparison arose due to the incredible support that Steph Curry is getting on the road games. On that matter, the head coach said he is used to Curry’s popularity even in the away games. Wherever the team travels, they see the stadiums flooded with Warriors 30 number jerseys on the back of fans.
Kerr has seen some similar visions for his ex-Chicago Bulls teammate, His Airness. Jordan also had similar fame that fans from all over the world used to come to witness his greatness on the court. Recently Steph Curry broke NBA’s most-attended games record when he went to play San Antonio Spurs. The last time someone packed the stadium like that was Michael Jordan himself.
