Steve Kerr tells the truth about the offensive approach under Stephen Curry

In a recent segment of NBA Coaches Corner with analyst Tim Legler, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr breaks down the impact of the All-Star Stephen Curry really has on the opponent’s defense. While shorthand The Warriors will play without Stephen Curry for a weekKerr’s film study shows how effective Curry is with or without the ball in his hands.

Kerr spoiled one of the Warriors essential offensive plays5-out, and explained why it creates so many opportunities, he told Legler, in NBA Coaches’ Corner.

“We call this the 5-out, and we can go into it either way,” Kerr said. “The reason we call it 5-out is because we want our center to post feed and then set that split screen for Steph — the reason you want to do that is you want to get Gobert as far away from the hoop as possible. If he’s in the paint, he’s a monster.

“But if you can get him all the way to the 3-point line, he’s going to be less comfortable outside. And obviously, we’re setting a screen for the greatest shooter of all time.”

Kerr says there are different versions of the Warriors’ game, which is designed to draw the opposing center out of the paint and create opportunities, driven by Curry’s magnetic aura, that often lead opposing defenses astray.

“Sometimes we’ll name it and add a few wrinkles, but a lot of times this happens organically,” Kerr adds. “You see Gobert wants to be in the paint. Every center wants to be in the paint, and if we can get enough room for Steph, I mean, look at that photo, it’s crazy, but that’s all he needs. He’s Steph Curry.”
