And in recent years, he has also coached some of the greatest players to ever step on the hardwood.<\/p>\n

Between coaching and playing, he has won a total of nine NBA championships, so between that and the players he has been around, it’s safe to say the Arizona alum knows a thing or two about greatness.<\/p>\n

So when he began making comparisons between his star player from Golden State Stephen Curry and his former teammate Michael Jordan, whom many consider to be the greatest of all time, it seemed to all make sense coming from the Warriors coach.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s the most amazing mindset that I\u2019ve ever seen, Michael had a similar mindset,” Kerr said on the Glue Guys podcast<\/a>. “But Michael\u2019s mindset appeared to be more of a desire to kill an opponent, to just stick the knife in and twist it. Steph is more about the joy of the act of shooting the ball. You know, and that\u2019s what makes it so beautiful to watch Steph.”<\/p>\n

Kerr would also praise the self confidence that the two legends show in their play, calling his former teammate more calculating, and his current star relying more on getting into a rhythm, almost more emotional compared to MJ’s physical approach to the game.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re similar in their self-confidence. I think Michael\u2019s much more calculating. I don\u2019t think Steph\u2019s so calculating, I just think his ability to get into the rhythm, into the flow, into the zone, psychologically, emotionally, however you want to say it, was so unique. With Michael, it\u2019s more of an announced dominance. It\u2019s like, \u2018I\u2019m here, and I\u2019m going to own the space and the arena.’ “<\/p>\n

However the two look at the game of basketball, it’s clearly worked out for both of them, as they both have been considered two of the most influential players of all time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bulls legend Steve Kerr compares current NBA star to Michael Jordan originally appeared on The Sporting News Former…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,5184,8217,3004,459,40423,82,13596,38542,40424],"class_list":["post-62471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-chicago-bulls","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-michael-jordan","tag-nba","tag-nba-championships","tag-sports","tag-stephen-curry","tag-steve-kerr","tag-warriors-coach"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
