[@kimlamberthmatic6720]

If anyone is still underrated, that has to be Steve Kerr. One of the greatest basketball minds ever. A pillar of modern-era basketball.

[@bballbreakdown]

Stay tuned for the whole interview tomorrow… we talk exactly about this

[@mcfuckinanotheraccount808]

@@kyronjones43 that's a casual take that i'm sick of hearing

[@ShawnBlixk]

​@kyronjones43 mark Jackson still has steph playing mostly on ball.. it was Steve Kerr who understood that steph was a break off ball player from his time in college and decided to take the ball out of his hands and have him run around screens more etc.. that's when the warriors became really really good and they won a chip the first year

[@samatkadyrov5779]

Steph is the reason why I started watching NBA

[@tribalypredisposed]

Kerr is why I started watching basketball, when he played at the U of A.

[@judyclarkson5887]

Same. That crazy MSG game against Knicks was what got me into the nba and rooting him. That same season's Denver playoffs series only solidified it. Dude is a box office and single-handedly brought me into the game. Lol

[@user-tj3re5tm2u]

Same here

[@tribalypredisposed]

The sequel to Underrated could be made about Steve Kerr, who was literally so unrecruited out of high school that he had enrolled as a regular student for university, with plans to play intramural basketball. Then Lute Olsen got hired to coach the U of A following their four win prior year and Kerr's high school coach knew Lute and sent him a letter about Kerr. Lute brought Kerr in as a "good locker room influence" and he combined with Sean Elliot to take them to the Final Four. Still underrated, Kerr was drafted late in the second round with most saying he would never play a minute in the NBA. Steve Kerr was almost going to be the best intramural basketball player in world history, but instead he has nine rings.

[@keenangan6047]

Kerr is crazy in more ways than one, man fought mj and gained his respect

[@tribalypredisposed]

@@keenangan6047 yeah, find me another story of the time a role player on the bench punched a starter, the top guy on the team, an all-star, let alone league MVP and did not get traded or wind up playing in China. Kerr has that same level of competitiveness as MJ, nobody lucks their way to nine rings, and that is a big factor in his success.

[@keenangan6047]

@@tribalypredisposed and his intelligence to play his role on those different teams

[@tribalypredisposed]

@@keenangan6047 especially on defense, where Kerr was really too slow to defend NBA guards, is where his intelligence showed. His lack of foot speed is why he was not recruited out of high school and why people thought he could not play in the NBA. But he made up for it by understanding the game, knowing the tendencies of the other players, and anticipating before they started what they would do.

[@moppelh]

Nice one Coach Nick! So cool Kerr took the time to do this!!

[@khaimcmillan9152]

Curry has really made the game of basketball fun and inspiring across the world 🌎

[@nathanlau3275]

"Underrated" is a good documentary. Imagine if his coach had benched him after his disastrous first game. We might have missed being treated to this generational talent.

[@bballbreakdown]

Crazy

[@BurritoKingdom]

Don Nelson loves offensive players. He let's the players discover themselves on offense. He didn't force Dirk to become a post player because he realized his unique skills. Nelson did the same with Steph and let him fly. Mark Jackson on the other hand tried to force Steph to be a pass first Point Guard.

[@rockett3756]

⁠@@BurritoKingdomSteph just said on a pod don told him once he should have more assist than shot attempts

[@malasc12]

I wish they'd show his game against Loyola where he was doubled the entire game

[@Saxandfifths]

​@@BurritoKingdomdon't falsify Mark Jackson's influence like that because that just isn't true. Mark is the coach who gave Curry the ALL-TIME GREENLIGHT to shoot whatever/whenever he wanted. Mark also gave it to Klay saying way back in 2011-2012 that they were the greatest shooters ever, and called everyone's bluff when they tried criticizing that take....... How is that equivalent to him trying to force Curry into a Pass-first role? It's not. Mark was a Defensive Specialist as a head coach, so he set the Warriors up amazingly well, defensively, but because offense was not his biggest emphasis, he let Curry run high P&R. Interestingly enough, Curry LOVES passing and has GREAT vision, so he'd average 8 assists or so, but he's the GOAT shooter, so Kerr actually encouraged Curry to shoot even more with his offensive system.

Coach Nick - congrats on such a big moment in your YT career!

Ouch coach nick did you call Dell steph's mom ? 🤣 (10:10) Anyway great vid as always coach ;)

[@garnetmichel5517]

the hop before the shot he used to do imo was because he wasn't strong enough so the hop was that extra push he needed to get the shot off , Steph doesnt need it once he got strong enough .

[@HimmyHendryx]

mf is so locked in wit his hip strength

[@phomjachana]

Hop can also be a rhythm thing too, I hop for my shot in various situations but it’s relaxing to get me in flow. I bet if I played more I could remove it completely. Younger players have more hops in shot until they settle more relaxed into their stroke

[@garnetmichel5517]

@@phomjachana you might be right.I hadn’t thought about it in that sense . I went for the low hanging fruit- it was a strength problem but it could be for rhythm as well

[@aznpanda510x]

Crazy because Kerr had a small ownership with the Phoenix when he was a GM. Wanted to traded up for curry because he was like nash. Nash can shoot but he was known to pass, even nash said he should’ve shoot more. When he was offer the Job as HC for golden state, he sold his share and the rest is history.

[@Racoons4Change]

Steph and lebron is my generations magic and Larry. Curry for me, is on my mouth Rushmore. I can’t rank Players I didn’t see live. I’m 26, born in Cleveland. I hated Steph curry for 2015. What changed my mind was that Sunday game vs OKC I saw after church in 2016. That three he hit instantly made me a fan. Curry is an animal. His game is unlike anyone else. Curry has been cooking the league at 6’2”. Appreciate these players while they are here.

[@caiogaver3402]

The underrated part about Steph was his work ethic. You look at his body when he entered the league and now and his peak conditioning at 35, that's no joke the amount of work the dude has to put in.

[@Mario-hg8vo]

new bball video let’s go 🔥

[@bballbreakdown]

Let’s go!!

[@RichFlemingRealtor]

Coming out of college, I thought Steph would be the next Steve Kerr ... a killer off ball shooting 3s. It was really his on ball skills that were surprising.

[@adamp4155]

I saw glimpses of good on-ball mechanics which is why it was odd that NBA scouts claimed that he wouldn’t be able to produce his own shots, or get to the basket, or score with the big bruisers down low. He routinely did all of that when I watched him in the Tourney. There was an amazing reverse lay with a lot of contact against either a Wisconsin or Kansas big during his Cinderella run that made me say, wow he’s not afraid of contact.

[@henrikung4489]

[@roboninja3194]

Those stupid scouting reports prove that scouts in the NBA, NFL, and MLB have no idea what they're doing. As far as Curry's shot and it being at the waist the release point is what matters. You can see in the old footage his release point was a lot lower than what it is while in the NBA. When releasing the ball right in front of your face it's a lot easier to block especially by a defender who is the same size. A higher release point helps shoot over taller players.

[@Jaime-II]

Kerr should hire you

[@CP-5L]

Coach Nick, we gotta see your shots in these videos. As a proof that anyone can learn this 😅

[@mikaeki5245]

[@Ruatsanga13]

Being only about a year younger than him, I've played basketball way before he made it big in the NBA, but Curry definitely changed the game worldwide with his long range shooting... Everyone from the skinny tall guy to the stout fat guy are all shooting 3s now.... In a way, one could also argue he changed the game in a bad way😂😂😂

[@theyforce1424]

mama there goes that man

[@olivermoon2538]

Steph is and will remain underrated until advanced analytics are better developed and understood. The fact that he's not considered top 3 or not even the GOAT PG shows this. People will realize over time.

[@jqa16]

I love being underestimated/underrated when I was a kid. I WAS 5'6 ASIAN kid who can't jump high who can't run fast but can shoot the lights out during my 8th grade till 10th grade years I was always left open and would drop 30 points on a good night. Man I miss my varsity days 🙏

[@5urgs]

Give credit to Steve Kerr. Dude is probably the greatest basketball kind out there. Hands full of rings. Everyone talks about hall of fame, who’s the goat, I think Steve has his own space of greatness.

[@Colinkrauss1]

It hasn’t ever really seemed to me like Curry is underrated. I would guess most people have him 1st, 2nd, or 3rd on their all-time point guards list and top 15 ever. And by the time he’s done there’s a chance it could be 1st PG and top 5 ever. And most of the things that people said about his size, strength, and play style before his nba career and during his nba career were perfectly reasonable. I just don’t really see what makes him underrated when everyone thinks he’s a god.

[@smythershiao]

Does Steph's shooting motion block his dominant eye?

[@bballbreakdown]

The ball blocks everyone’s eye sight for a brief second

Steph did more for overall basketball culture than anyone else in its history, imo. It had every normal person believing they had a chance if they worked hard enough, and the physically gifted realizing how dangerous they could be if they expanded their skillsets.

Steve Kerr would've pulled a Popovich if he had drafted Steph. Fired the coach and taken his job. The only thing standing in his way would be Sarver.

[@vince3139]

you gotta tell kerr to stop making steph run laps in the half court to get open against athletic teams that does a great job switching and staying attached to steph while draymond stands at the elbow with the ball in his hands for like 10 seconds doing absolutely nothing. Steph is the most lethal pick and roll ball handler in the history of the game, pair him up with a big that can actually roll and pop instead of the huge offensive liability in draymond. they better run some curry/saric pick and rolls this upcoming season this is gonna be the first highly skilled scoring big that steph gets to played with in a longgggg time.

Maybe, just maybe, recruiters should look into the character of the player, and not just their bodies and skills.

[@TonyTheTender]

Not sure I can agree with the conclusion that he isn’t underrated anymore. I just saw people arguing that Steph can’t create his own shot the way Damian Lillard can and that he needs screens and good passers to get a shot

[@NostraSamus]

I agree that he is still underrated. Even after the Boston win, the theme of that title was “what are they going to say now?” Steph can create his own shot, but he doesn’t have to. That’s why Lillard and Harden will never be champions.

[@tonybayarea]

6 Teams passed on Steph Curry in the (2009 Draft), Houston Rockets & Portland Trail Blazers passed on Michael Jordan in (1984 Draft), 12 Teams passed on Kobe Bryant in (1996 Draft). 6 out of those 12 Teams have still not won their 1st or more Championships 27 years later after passing on Kobe that year. Analytics & NBA Politics has ruined the league for decades. Teams be basing their decisions on the rosters on biases of a player and end up being wrong in the end because they go for the Taller player that is less talented than the player that should go ahead of and select in the draft instead.
