When Stephen Curry has a DeMarcus Cousins in the final seconds of Game 6 of the NBA finals last Thursday night screen, caught the ball a Draymond Green and launched a shot that could have won the game for Golden State – and extends the series a game seven to decide in Toronto on Sunday – warriors coach Steve Kerr was sure he would be working on father’s day. “I always thought that every shot takes Steph is,” Kerr says. But Curry shot that was expertly denied by the Toronto power forward Serge Ibaka, crashed into the back of the rim effectively Golden State ended hopes for a three-peat. Kerr, Curry and green, the three men, less Klay Thompson (who the game with a bizarre and unfortunate injury ACL left early) were the most responsible for Golden State run close to unprecedented excellence over the past five years converged near the sideline , and reacted to this extraordinary turn of events of Golden State Warriors as possible. They smiled. For years, the Warriors must win more fun to have great games and world championships than any other team sport on the planet. Since taking over as coach of the team in 2014, Kerr has the advantage propagated to adopt a joyful approach to the basketball. The effervescent Curry, who revels, served as the embodiment of this happy-go-lucky approach to the success of both their shooting strips impossible and his teammates. This smile, embarrassed and safe, says the team with the continued fulfillment of the way a warrior, even in the face of defeat. We lost two Hall of Fame – Durant and Thompson – lesions in back-to-back games in this tournament. However, the best shooter in NBA history has had the ability to keep us alive. He lost, but it’s just a basketball game. What the hell are you going to do? He had led the Raptors Golden State completed excellence June 13 – were to reach the first team since 1960 Boston Celtics five consecutive finals, the Warriors – certainly not how it feels. The atmosphere at Oracle Arena, the 53-year-old ball-shaped structure that is located in a parking lot in Oakland the road, next to a gloomy baseball / soccer stadium which hosts an Raiders (for now) it was far from funereal. Kerr and Co. smiled. The Warriors coach for the last time he resigned over Entertainers in Oracle; Kerr said his staff is in this room is not a person who does not like to see it every day. Since the Raptors chugged champagne, Curry joined her family and friends in the stands a few last pictures in the old barn to be taken. The next season, the Warriors departing for their new digs in San Francisco: the $1.4 billion Chase Center. Curry had a drink in hand. If the Warriors were only postpone their future uncertain fretting, someone could blame them? Of course, Golden State has a lot going for them. A striking new building can help motivate and free agents still Curry Curry. A run of bad luck rose impossible after the franchise in this final phase and the undermanned team was still just a shooting game seven of strength. However, they expect nervous days. Durant, who fortified the dynasty warrior when he signed with the team in the summer of 2016 (after the warriors had already established the record of all time for victories in regular season) can leave in free agency. But his torn Achilles clouded its future, and it is unclear whether he will remain in San Francisco or at the bar, for example, New York, from curry shadows. Golden State is likely to re-sign Thompson, but the injury to the knee guard shooting guard is at least cost him a piece of next season. Meanwhile, LeBron James just found a new running mate: the Los Angeles Lakers finally traded Anthony Davis, a top class NBA talent, perhaps the way to another Western Conference championship directly although Southern California mowing. Although this embodiment of the warrior is made trophies lifting championship, but the franchise legacy should never forget. Golden State is probably the result of a sports team of the decade. The Warriors have revolutionized the pro basketball, as teams have tried around the league, the aesthetically pleasing ball-sharing and home run hits from three-point range Golden State to emulate addiction. It is no coincidence that in this final to beat Raptors seemed uninterested State of gold at their own game. Beyond basketball, the Warriors were to take a unique voice-ready sport on social issues. Curry and Kerr have harshest critics of President Trump, and the warriors had to be considered one of the first teams to the usual visit to the White House to jump to celebrate a championship (Trump canceled within the invitation). Green argued that the term “owner” of the vernacular sport, its connotations are culled since slavery. Kerr spoke on various topics, such as gun control (Kerr’s father, former president of the American University in Beruit was assassinated outside his office in 1984 the school). After a mass shooter killed 12 people in Virginia Beach on May 31, Kerr wore a “Vote for our lives” T-shirt at a news conference before Game 2 of the NBA Finals. “For me, [the Warriors] speak not only to the modern NBA, but the only place that sports can play in society,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “It is not only to bring their land, for the spirit of the game. But I think the spirit that lead as citizens, and to their participation in their communities. They are to a man involved in basketball programs and other educational programs in the Bay area. they talk about important social and political issues, if you have a point of view. This naturally applies to their coaches as well … are multidimensional people redefine what is an athlete in society. “During the 2013-2014 season, then- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson invited her childhood friend in New York City, the former NBA point guard and current TNT analyst Kenny Smith study to address his team. Jackson Smith said that his starting backcourt, was from Curry and Thompson, the best in the world. When Smith in front of the players, Jackson announced that periodically the White House that he visited. The warriors came out of a season, they won only one playoff series in which: an opening round defeat of the Denver Nuggets, the second series of victories franchise in the previous 19 years. “And I looked around out of the room, and I’m like, no way,” says Smith. “! There is no way I said in my head No way, man Come on, Mark, were so tested ….” Jackson was, even though it would get through his vision on something: after collision with other members of the organization, Jackson – a former ESPN analyst who never work the warrior had been a coach before – was let go after this season, which ended in a first-round playoff loss to the Los Angeles Clippers So Jackson replaced reached the warrior on. Kerr did TNT broadcaster without prior head coaching experience. “The talks we had seats,” says Krieger President and Chief Operating Officer Rick bruises, who has worked with Kerr in Phoenix, where President bruises came when Kerr 2007-2010 General Director was. “Ok, so let’s play this from the point of view, if we make this change. Thus, Mark Jackson, hire a trainer that I drove the playoffs, a former player and broadcaster, was the No. och ever a game was coached. So you can go away with Mark on one side, and then you go out and hire a former player who is a transmitter that has never coached a game., people may see that as a bit ‘illogical. it seems that if you do not believe that it worked, because they always do it again, right? “” But who knew Steve of us had no idea, I think, what kind of coach would be “Welts on. “But we only had an idea of who he was as a man, and how he approached life. And as this is true, what you see is what you get, so self-deprecating dealing with other people was just his DNA. I think everyone they believed greatly in the translation, which could be an NBA coach. it’s not about him. it’s never about him. he has only one way to accept praise, and that other distraction will do. I challenge you to find time in his life for a moment, if that’s the way it is not that it is operated. and he always seems to build it all works. and trust and have your back. I have experienced, to be with him in an organization. the idea, as it appeared in an NBA locker room like a fresh formula rather would result. it’s real. it’s not like something he learned in business school. And ‘who he is, “the warrior work after getting up, coach Kerr visited Seattle Seahawks Pete Carroll -. a 43-8 obliteration Fresh Peyton Manning Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII – the withdrawal of his team. “Not really knew how he wanted his program to run,” says Carroll. “It ‘was just listening. He hung for a few days. He was so humble about it. It’ coached in the NBA, and he is sitting here watching our solutions and our practices. It was a little open-sided and receptive and access notes and things and talk to people “After the visit came Kerr with four principles to the Golden State to define culture. The joy, awareness, compassion and competition. He waited a few months to reveal it to the team, but wanted to gain their trust before they hit with things that can be interpreted as a motivational mumbo jumbo. the coach, I have the joy! I counted joy! “Mocked as a breakthrough When he finally did speak of joy, Curry jumped the court later and said something along the lines of” Look. Ribs, it was actually the program of an essential part of the Golden State. In his upcoming memoir, The Sixth Man comes warrior Andre Iguodala remembers an exercise in team-building, in which it was asked players to remember the moments in a game they felt the highest of. “When it came the turn of Klay, we all thought it meant that his supreme moment was the day 37 points in a quarter against Sacramento,” writes Iguodala. “I mean, it was an NBA record! But he did not do it. Instead, he said, ‘My best moment was one night I took a pass and I was fifty feet from the basket and I wanted to shoot him. And all suddenly, I heard Andre as his, ‘What the hell, Klay? I’m fifty feet aus.’Und thought for a second and he fired anyway. It’ was, and I said, ‘Yes, Andre, you fucking . ‘ We all had a good laugh about it. I was like, ‘Wow, really dog? This is the best time? “Keep the casual setting, even after the Warriors blew a 3-1 NBA Finals LeBron James and advantage of Cleveland Cavaliers came in 2016. That summer, former Cavs coach Mike Brown Kerr and employees Lakers as an assistant. He remembers having participated in a practice Summer League in Las Vegas, shortly after accepting the Warriors job. “The next thing I know, the music that turns you on,” says Brown. “And it is like the rays. Ok, ok, maybe go to some music I play while they are getting attracted. So they attract, they begin to heat up and the music is still on. Dead serious, in my mind, I they are like, what the hell is going on? “He turned to his son Cameron, who was at school. “I’m like, do you think this shit? They begin the practice and have to play this music? ” The tunes blasted for most of the session.” I think I hear more music, that the practice did when I saw it all the month before arriving at the summer league, “Brown says.” I was surprised. I did not know who to talk to. “The Warriors led to a sleep researcher and a Navy SEAL psychologists to work with the team. They recorded machine learning in the scouting report.” We are not afraid to try anything, “he said assistant general manager Kirk Lacob. Experts like psychologists covered Keltner, co-founder of the University of California, Berkeley Greater Good Science Center – “the study of psychology, sociology and health neuroscience and teaches skills that nursing a thriving, the defendant company and compassionate” – will have an informal adviser franchise . “Read my book on Andre Iguodala power, and had a criticism, that I am not in the race long enough,” says Keltner, author of the power paradox: how to win and lose influence. “he was right.” in a New York Times Magazine profile of majority owner of the Warriors in April 2016 Joe Lacob got to say its fair share of ridicule in NBA: “We are light years ahead probably every other team in the structure, in planning how we are going about things to go. “Some see the Golden State in the 2016 final loss after the Warriors finished the regular season with a 73-9 record, the best of all time, to the right of a just punishment. In an interview in a room Oracle Arena back before game 6 of the finals, I asked if he regretted Lacob this comment. he said he would not tell. But he believed it? Lacob smiles. “I’ll let others be the judge,” he says. Well, the results – three titles in four years at the time, three titles in five years, but still – speak for themselves. “you just said” Lacob answer. “I did not say that.” “I mean, look, I’m a confident guy,” said Lacob . “I think in a lot of things that we practice and do. I think the strategy we have. I believe in our management team, which I think is the best in the industry. I believe in the culture of our players, which is itself built around Steph Curry – he is a unique individual, never mind basketball player. And so you know, I meant that I do. In a little exaggeration I have to put it other teams. So if the question I can not believe I ask? Yes. But I say that not to put other teams. I think the way to do it “” By the way, all my friends in the business world, Wie had produced Grosser! ‘ “Says Lacob.” Great story! ‘And all the guys of the sport were like, what a Egomane.’Sie are therefore learn from it. “Kerr is sometimes begin his practice talking about current events, rather than the program of the day. Bruising keeps the door of ‘corner office a sticker “Steve Kerr for the president.” “I think our country is in a very unstable place now,” Kerr said in an interview in his office on the day Oracle Arena before game 6 of the finals. ” i think it’s important to talk with citizens. “a letter 2003 UCLA legendary coach John Wooden depends on the Kerr wall.” i liked getting to see the game played, no spectacular excessive and exemplary behavior on and off the field, ” has clean wooden italics. “and you’re obviously in the same category with David Robinson, Tim Duncan, John Stockton, Jerry West and many others.” So what is your message these days? According to Kerr, nothing less than the fate of the Republic is danger. “I think there are so many questions that are washed just now,” said Kerr. “Our government and the erosion of our checks and balances, and to be with so many people accomplices – is literally the initial phase crumbling of our democracy if our checks and balances are not. What this leads to, you look President Trump policy, we return on energy. we call these the catastrophe of global warming in the coming decades in which things happen already weather-wise. in California, it’s fire instead used his September and October, now can be all year. Hurricanes, floods, look at the floods in the Midwest. We have this president and a Republican Senate, and in terms of benefits and welfare of our accomplices are backlinks and well-being of our children. Deficit rooms more higher than ever that our children will inherit. the insanity of it all … this form patterns that historically was corrosive to democracy and to human progress. and everything that Trump’s ta doing now, we need to do exactly the opposite. And that’s really scary, “the Kerr response to fans, just feeling must stick Sport.” I do not have it. I do not care. “Not even 48 hours earlier, he observed Kerr disbelief from the sidelines in Toronto as Durant, who for five weeks to make rehabbed his return to the playoffs from a calf injury, went in Game 5 with a torn Achilles, this time down . Durant had 11 points on 3-3 shooting from the second row, while his 12 minutes on the floor. “My first thought the calf,” says Kerr was again wounded. “it ‘s been our concern is. I thought, oh God, the poor guy, he again injured the calf which he did for the series. It ‘s so good to play, look like us. So now it’s six weeks of rehabilitation needs to be done. So there goes the rest of the series. But he’ll be fine. “At halftime belongs Kerr that Durant has its reality of torn Achilles. His mood turns dark immediately.” And ‘Wie, oh, holy crap’, “says Kerr.” This is something completely different. Something I had not expected. If we had thought it would be a chance to continue his hurt Achilles, we would have thrown him out there. So, a combination of chaos for him and for our team, and fear for the way in which everything takes place. It ‘s just one of those things. Gather all the information you can, all the check boxes, and you try to make the best decision. And then you do, then this is done, like, my God. Pooh. So I feel guilty, even though our process was sound. And it is a reminder that there are no guarantees in the medical world. You can never be sure of anything. “Kerr, the games over the years is no back surgery due to unforeseen complications, you would know. Kerr is a bit ‘of guilt for Durant injured touch.” Absolutely, although I felt good with process, “Kerr says.” There was a process of cooperation. And ‘including our team doctors, physicians outside for a second opinion. Each purified to play with him. And no one thought that Achilles was vulnerable. Obviously, we do not do the decisions on our own medicine. We are not doctors. So we could and all information collected jointly taken the decision. But after the fact, it’s like I just told him he’s not playing. “” It ‘s too late, “Kerr says.” But I wish I could go back. I would. “Halftime in Game 5 was a sad scene.” Each man would, and shook his hand, “says Kerr.” I’m sorry Only. I’m sorry. “The Warriors, on the strength of the three by three points from Curry and Thompson in the pipeline, managed to earn 106-105 victory to keep alive the series, but Thompson bizarre injury in Game 6 had to overcome too. Thompson had 30 points in game 6, but landed awkwardly on a dunk attempt just before the end of the third quarter. warriors got stuck in the last quarter, but the latest attempt to curry series confused a seventh game decision with these grinning stopped sending. “what I experienced as his trainer for the past five years, only an incredible combination of talent and character and commitment to each other,” says Kerr. “this does not happen. a group of kids like this do not come together and do what is in the past five years. “Now the scene shifts from Oakland to San Francisco. team move has annoyed many people in the East Bay. Mildred Taylor, a Oakla ND resident it was an usher at Oracle Arena for the last 22 years, said that the purpose of the movement, finally beating the day before game 6, the last warrior game of Oracle. “I felt the feeling of rejection,” says Taylor . Bill Benson, a BART train operator, who lives in San Leandro, south of Oakland, believes that fans of San Francisco will price themselves. “This is where the warriors are,” said Benson in the first race time 4 to Oracle. “Oakland needs these guys. The new arena will have a lot of techies. The blue collar guy will not go to the Chase Center “” People are angry, “says the Oakland City Council President Larry Reid TIME.” But the anger is joy in the shade that the Warriors have brought into the city. “In an interview television divided the morning of game 6, Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf their mixed feelings. “When native Oakland, even during the times when I could not afford a ticket to one of those games just to get from 880 and to know that our Warriors Golden State play in Oakland, the team were, I just had such a sense pride KTVU, “said Schaaf.” And it is sad. It ‘s sad that they are going to Oakland. I feel like this team especially that of Oakland ethos that grit that grinds the noise and humility that teamwork. And I just hope when the team moved to San Francisco, will take a bit ‘in them by this Oakland. “Welts stressed that has not left the Warriors in Oakland. The Foundation team will be headquartered in the city and the current team office space is also non-profit home make Oakland, which provides services such as college and career counseling, and health and programs welfare for underprivileged children. the campsites and clinics court practices hosts. “We are leaving a building,” said Welts. “We do not go into a city.” What is the message of the owner to the people of Oakland? “not are nostalgic like a lot of people, “said Joe Lacob, who” bought the team in 2010, I understood why they are. This team is not for a long, long time here and something that makes them to be proud of in the community. But I also know that many fans, it is actually the reality, live throughout the Bay Area. Half of them are on the West Bay. Half of them are on the East Bay. And in fact, they come from Monterey and Marin and around the Bay Area. We have fans everywhere. I have since the 80s here, and I live in the peninsula. Along with many other friends. “For nine years I have been commuting,” adds Lacob, who lives in Atherton, an enclave of Silicon Valley. “It ‘been a brutal commute. It took 2 hours today. I think my point to you, I feel for those who feel that there is a sense of loss for the community, they certainly have a sense of pride to have this team. I understand that. I’m sorry for them. But life must go on. and you know we built a new arena, which is the good news, actually BART typically passes through the East Bay and the city access. And you can go directly to the front door of this arena “most crucial expect the Warriors, the team’s Chase Center -. An arena built entirely with private funds, a rare achievement in modern sports – is a possibility their upright successfully obtain. Revenues from other centers Chase events, such as concerts can help pay for expensive free agents Star. In addition, players like Durant, Iguodala and Curry have their part of the compounds used in the bay technology companies to invest and grow their own businesses on basketball. Now Warriors in the future will be able to have the same Silicon Valley to network, but in a building $1.4 billion. “I think the benefits we have already increased,” Welts said. ? To be the advantage in the Bay Area “Right. If you have a twenty year old person in contact with which the world is going, this is to be a really good place. Because the companies that interest you the most, and the future of charting world are located here. and why you are a basketball player in the NBA, you have unlimited access to and the people these companies. we already have. we have already hung three banners in five years. and now you have structures believe that the best available overall. the underlying business the main reason for that is the financial base set for the team for decades to come. here we have the environmental benefit. and i think we have the economic now required to know that we are going to compete for free agents, and the best talented player to try to win a few championships. “courses at the Bay Area start the Somme r. The future of a franchise, and now all of basketball, is storied game. – Katy Steinmetz / Oakland signaling Photo copyright by Ezra Shaw Getty Images
