\"Warriors<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Spurs saw the end of their three-game winning streak on Wednesday, coming up short against the desperate Golden State Warriors with a 125-120 loss.<\/p>\n

But despite the defeat, the Spurs can take pride in the intriguing tribute offered by Steve Kerr to a franchise legend.<\/p>\n

Following the game, Kerr was asked about his thoughts on Stephen Curry\u2019s huge 46-point performance. The Warriors head coach initially said it was just \u201croutine\u201d for the superstar guard but quickly withdrew the comment when he learned it was Curry\u2019s 73rd career 40-point game.<\/p>\n

Kerr went on to share insightful words about Curry\u2019s importance to the Warriors franchise, ultimately comparing him to what Tim Duncan has been for the Spurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have the privilege of watching Steph for 11-plus years like I have, you get used to this. He\u2019s the reason this whole thing has happened. You know, he\u2019s our Tim Duncan \u2014 he\u2019s the sun in our solar system,\u201d Kerr said in his presser.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just such an incredible player and teammate, and it\u2019s great to see him back out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Kerr\u2019s quote certainly revolved around Curry. But at the same time, it served as a huge compliment and acknowledgment of Duncan’s legacy.<\/p>\n

Curry stands as the foundation of the Warriors organization, just as Duncan was for the Spurs. Both all-time greats have led their respective franchises to sustained success, but Kerr\u2019s decision to use Duncan as a comparison for Curry is undeniably a great honor for the retired San Antonio star.<\/p>\n

Curry ushered the Warriors into a golden era with four championships since 2015, and that’s something that mirrors Duncan\u2019s leadership in guiding the Spurs to five titles across three decades.<\/p>\n

He might not be as flashy or outspoken as some other all-time greats, but it\u2019s good to know that Duncan remains the gold standard of winning and of what a true franchise cornerstone should be.<\/p>\n
