No bullshit, no narrative, no gotcha questions, just straight up breaking down nitty gritty of basketball sets. Kerr is very eloquent and coach Nick asks GREAT questions. What a treat

[@bballbreakdown]

Yeah, I always enjoy doing these … and I think the guests like them, too, for that very reason… no one else ever asks them these kinds of things

[@bochiecole]

Darn, I was getting ready to try and formulate what you just said so eloquently sir, I agree %100, thanks.

I know Steve probably named himself in the call, but I find it funny to think that you would name yourself “Coach Nick,” but legendary NBA coach Steve Kerr, “Steve.”

This is all true 😂😅😇😇🏀🏀

[@copehead3352]

Huge Coach!! Love when you get access to high level Bball minds! You definitely deserve it been grinding for so long!

[@bballbreakdown]

Thx so much!!

[@king720s7]

Facts!!

[@TheJoeGizzle]

I can't think of another basketball channel, and person, who is more deserving of having the great Steve Kerr on their show. Happy for you, coach! You'll go down as a KZbin legend for basketball education. Now, headphones on, sound up, because I know there are some serious nuggets to pull from this episode!

[@bballbreakdown]

Wow, thanks so much!! 👊🏀

[@dunmatta2670]

Kerr is a great guest and accessible. Appreciate you 2 doing this 💯

Would love to hear an interview about Coach Kerr’s Team USA experiences! Always thought international and USA basketball was so interesting

[@EventualRoads]

Wow can’t believe you got Kerr to interview. Huge win!

[@Miguel.Garcia]

Coach Nick I didn’t grow up with Kerr, I grew up watching you on KZbin and learning from you. You’re an inspiration of consistency and diligence. Thanks

[@tunedime]

Such a flex Coach! Much love brother

[@xavierturner112]

One of the best interviews of all time

[@BriSirnicky]

First time listener, loved it…and just gotta say I feel like you are what Draymond thinks he and the whole “new media” movement is…just talking about actual ball and X’s and O’s is a refreshing approach.

[@johnjperricone7856]

Coach!! Great interview. Man, you are doing the real deep dives. LOVE IT..,.

Yeah, it’s weird. Once COVID hit, I stopped getting subs despite views going up 🤷🏻‍♂️

Steve Kerr saying that they seek coaches expertise was fire!! That was a big calm flex!

What bballbreakdown is known for: glazing curry and roasting westbrook. very well deserved interview for nick

[@hc1883]

during this whole curry story line in his HOF career ... people tend to forget nellie who was the warriors head coach at the time wanted the warriors to draft curry too and played a big role in it ... hell there were rumors the warriors were going to trade curry to the suns for amare at the time right after the warriors drafted curry in 2009 with the #7 pick which would've set the warriors up with a veteran "big 3" of ellis, amare, and sjax but nellie wanted no part in that trade according to reports because he loved curry coming out of college and was shocked he was still available with the #7 pick in 2009 nellie has to be one of the most underrated basketball minds, especially offensively, in history despite not winning an NBA title as a head coach as the talent he saw from players that not many thought much of is astounding go back to Run TMC in the late 1980s and early 1990s where he drafted richmond and hardaway drafted sprewell late in the 1st round who became a multiple time all star and one of the better two way guards for a good part of his prime ... not to mention drafting big man, something many don't give him much credit for, but he identified the likes of hill and gatling in back to back years in the draft in the1st round in 1990 and 1991 whom became all stars later on in their careers after they left the warriors course nellie was also ahead of his time by playing small ball and using the advantages of a smaller lineup could have who were more prolific on offense without a big man clogging up the lane and slowing the pace of the game though his issue was not coaching or caring enough about defense to make it work at a championship level but to be fair there were some huge blunders in his career as head coach & GM too like trading richmond for owens in 1991 because he thought the warriors needed more size after losing to the lakers in the playoffs and then the big blunder which torpedoed the warriors franchise and a dark cloud was around the franchise for a dozen years which was not getting along with webber after his rookie season in 1993/94 after he had won ROY and the warriors won 50+ games ... then trading him to washington which tore apart and fractured a potential championship roster potentially in the makings if the warriors kept both spreewell and webber for the second half of the 1990s and even into the early 2000s considering the great things both spreewell and webber did with other teams later in their careers with the knicks and kings in the late 1990s-early 2000s another big mistake was trading richardson for wright on draft night in 2007 right after the "we believe" warriors team made their unimaginable cinderella run a few months early in the playoffs that year beating the mavs as the #8 seed and taking the jazz to 6 in the WCSF but even look at nellie's time with the mavericks as he traded for both dirk on 1998 draft night and nash who was a backup his first two years with the suns whom became an 2x all star in 4 season with the mavericks before he re-signed with the suns in 2005 and became a two time NBA MVP and a HOF if you look at the mavs the previous decade before nellie became the head coach in 1998 they were one of the worst NBA franchises having made the playoffs only twice in 10 years with only 1 winning record ... and had 7 seasons of 30 wins or less ... 3 seasons with 20 wins or less so looking back even though nellie cost the warriors two potential great teams, first by trading richmond and then webber in the 1990s during a span of 4 years... he made up for it and then some by setting the table for this current warriors dynasty by drafting curry in 2009 which has led to 4 NBA titles all this talk about kerr, lacob, riley, myers, and even jackson as prominent non players who helped turn the warriors franchise around ... i believe nellie had just as big of a role considering he was the main man in the warriors org at that time in 2009 that wanted to draft curry while also decided not to do the rash short term decision and trade curry early on in his career when if you had polled most warriors fans at that time i'd guess they would've wanted amare and okay'ed a curry trade in 2009 or 2010

Jordan is great off the ball great video coach nick

wow coach

I love you coach nick

[@antoniogreen9176]

With the 1 2 pull up I think you generate power from the second planted foot and you can go up with momentum right into your shot

[@JayzsMr]

it really isnt about power but more about rhythm , sometimes its easier to get the right timing in a one two pull up

[@hughtaylor1129]

I love the breakdown, I’d be interested bc what a younger coach like mark daigneault would say

[@realested]

GOAT of this generation by far

[@ryanmilbrod2386]

coach nick, would you consider being on the coaching staff for a NBA team?

[@bballbreakdown]

I absolutely would… not sure how to do it and balance family life but I’m ready to try

[@waywu2001]

I love the idea of shooting off the hop but I think it's more difficult when playing on floors with less traction. Hard to feel as stable as 1-2 on those surfaces. Thoughts?

[@bballbreakdown]

Oh, I think it’s the opposite. Landing on both feet with one sound eliminates a lot of the slipping you’ll see players do when they’re trying to push off with a single limb

[@Rebel-eq7ul]

Hey coach I just want to know. If you could choose a starting 5 of any players to run the triangle to maximize it who would it be and why?

[@coachvarnado216]

What are the offensive progressions for the Warriors in transition and in the halfcourt?

[@wyattfriend7360]

for the record, I look at the rim. Im gonna start watching the ball because I always feel like my shooting should be better than it is.

[@phoenixkane1986]

How many years til we see Coach Nick behind the bench in the nba?

[@joachimdupuis652]

Congratulations man that’s big deal

[@thahoopstrategist]

Identifying where your shots are coming from is probably actually harder than actually taking them when they present themselves.

[@stinkydiapey2154]

Your content is incredible. I could listen to you talk basketball all day because you’re one of the only content creators that does it intelligently. Hoopvision is also great but he doesn’t make videos much anymore and mainly does NCAA. You remind me a lot of Jack Han who is basically you but in the hockey world I think my favorite thing about your philosophy is how much you dunk on old head coaches who never learn anything and just repeat the same flawed BS forever lol. It’s not exclusive to basketball

[@bballbreakdown]

Thanks so much!! And I try not to dunk on the old coaches as much as point out there are better methods now… and I should know… I WAS one of those old coaches doing all the dumb stuff

[@qqw743]

Kerr reminds us that people respond better when spoken to respectfully. That's correct and that's what he does as a coach. But then he claims that every once in a while you just blow up and that's OK. That's false. He does blow up and that's not OK. If it's not OK generally, it's not OK once. I understand we all lose control, but let's not endorse it as part of the process.

[@sfchampionsbasketball9665]

Sounds like you’ve never coached. I agree with Coach Kerr on that one. There are times when examples need to be made. Players actually respect that more as it then highlights the calm nature that someone like Coach Kerr usually communicates with. Every interview with players who are asked about Steve Kerr are normally very positive and they talk about how it gets their attention during the times in which he does go off. So I’ll take their word on it…

[@bballbreakdown]

The key is using passion without anger or disgust

[@qqw743]

@@bballbreakdown This isn't just a question of the Warriors or Kerr. It's about coaching, teaching, parenting. It simply does not improve learning if the teacher seems upset in any way. Kerr seems 98% calm and positive, it's the 2% that is problematic.

[@willhooke]

I'm not sure where Kareem and MJ rank in terms of offensive effectiveness, but surely Curry is as potent as either of them?!

[@judithpierre3925]

Steve, please encourage Loon and Dray to shoot more 3s or SHOOT period. These none-shooters are killing the offense. Defenses don’t respect them (rightly) and poor Steph, Klay and even Wiggs get all the heat. Let’s do better this year. Better shot selection (Klay), take care of the ball (Steph, Dray), Have all 5 guys shoot accurately enough to keep the defense honest and play DEFENSE!🙏🤗✌🏿🙌🙌

I want to reinforce your introduction by saying I am 52 seconds into the video and knew that I needed to subscribe. Referencing your prior interviews and the way they differ from others was a nod to your intelligence.

Sacramento Kings copied the Golden State Warriors Motion Offense (copied from the 2014 San Antonio Spurs) and became the NBA #1 ranked Halfcourt Offense for the 2022-23 season.

[@bballbreakdown]

👁️🏀👁️

[@sfchampionsbasketball9665]

Coach Nick, you’re pushing your agenda of following the shot vs staring at the rim. He answered the question and it didn’t fit your narrative. Just gotta move on. For the record, the time that you look at the ball if you follow the shot is so close to the point of release that it might actually alter the shot. It’s no different than having a straight follow through vs letting your arm drift as you release the ball. Guarantee that for most people, it makes a difference.

[@bballbreakdown]

This isn’t an agenda, it’s a shooting fundamental that can really help people. And yes, for most people it’s a completely different shot. Sounds like you agree with me on this

[@qqw743]

Jordan Poole is not a "great" 3 point shooter, as Kerr claims at 34:50. At least not by career percentage, at least not yet. He's at 33.9% for his career. League average last year was three points higher.

[@bballbreakdown]

For sure, but I think Poole’s percentage has a lot to do with shot selection

[@carlosjr5921]

Steve will always have more rings than curry.. This is why

I don't like the politics Steve Kerr represents either 🙂 However, he's a brilliant coach and is a continuity of perhaps the two greatest coaches of all time (they're my top 2, for what it's worth) and well worth listening to IMO As I've grown in my walk with the Lord, my political values have doubled down and my love and appreciation for those who don't share those values had increased A paradox I suppose Just my thoughts, for what it's worth 🙂

[@sfchampionsbasketball9665]

@@willhookeplease speak on some of those things. What are some specifics that you don’t like? Btw, his dad was assassinated in part for his political views and Kerr seems to have a more thorough knowledge base than the average talking head, so I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts.
