Steve Kerr Named Next Team USA Head Coach

Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, it looks like Team USA has found its next head coach. Starting with the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Warriors shot-called Steve Kerr will be taking over Gregg Popovich’s position as Team USA’s lead on the bench.

Included in Kerr’s staff will be NBA coaching vets Monty Williams (Phoenix Suns), Mark Few (Gonzaga) and Eric Spoelstra (Miami Heat). Kerr, a winner in the NBA with three titles of his own in Golden State, was one of Pop’s assistants in the 2016 and 2021 Olympics where the US continued its hoops dominance to win their gold medals.

An update on James Wiseman’s return

It’s been a while since we’ve seen James Wiseman out on the court, over 600 days to be exact. The former number two overall pick was spotted a few days ago participating in some ball handling drills after practice per Monte Poole. He also said that the second-year big man is approaching the eight-month post-surgery. This is still on track with his 6–9-month recovery return time, which is a bit strange since he hasn’t been fully cleared to practice yet.

When will Steph Curry break the 3 Point Record?

All eyes were on Stephen Curry as he walked into Chase Center on Nov. 8 versus the Portland Trailblazers. At the time, Curry was 16 threes away from breaking Ray Allen’s three-point record.

Although this would normally be impossible, Curry has changed the definition impossible, and everyone entertained the thought that Curry could possibly break the record. This would’ve also meant that Curry would’ve broken fellow splash brother Klay Thompson’s record of most threes in a single game. The fact that the media even entertained this idea in the first place should demonstrate Curry’s greatness, and the anticipation was high as ever.

Draymond Green or Rudy Gobert: Who's the DPOY?

There’s been a lot of buzz about defense this season. With referees turning a blind eye to offensive players trying to draw BS fouls with irregular shot motions and other things that should be automatic offensive fouls, the value of defense has become apparent.

Andrew Wiggins' Case as an NBA All-Star

The Warriors have this neat habit of developing players who spend elongated amounts of time in the Bay into the ideal versions of themselves. You can throw out a couple different examples - Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, even Andre Iguodala and Andrew Bogut - to support the thesis.
