Steve Kerr has been coaching Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors for more than years now, but he still finds a new way to praise the two-time league MVP. Kerr extolled on the qualities of Curry once again recently, even comparing the latter to San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan, per Melissa Rohlin of The Mercury News.

Even with his meteoric rise in the NBA, Curry has remained an unassuming player, who could be mistaken by casual fans as a mere role player. He’s the rare type of superstar whose aura neither radiates nor screams with qualities usually attached to the league’s best players. That and Curry’s seemingly boundless capabilities on the basketball court surely remind Kerr of his former teammate in Duncan. After winning all those championships in Chicago, Kerr played for three seasons in San Antonio, where he won one more title in 2003.

Furthermore, Kerr gave Curry credit for helping lay out the Warriors’ identity that primarily focuses on being an unselfish unit. That altruism is very much manifested by the team’s league-best average of 30.2 assists per game.

Curry has not played since Dec. 4 due to an ankle injury, but the Warriors seem fine even without him, going 9-1 since then. Nevertheless, they are a much more potent team with Curry around.
