Stephen Curry Could’ve Been on the Phoenix Suns? 9x NBA Champion Steve Kerr Blurts Out ‘Steve Nash’ Analysis of the Warriors Superstar in a Massive Revelation

Steve Kerr is a revered NBA personality with nine NBA Championships and five titles as coach of the Warriors. In a recent interview, Kerr reminisced about his time as a coach and a general manager. He revealed how they did think about drafting Stephen Curry into the Phoenix Suns back in the day.

Steve Kerr reveals the similarity between Steve Nash and Stephen Curry

In an interview with BBALLBREAKDOWN, Steve Kerr revealed that back in the day, the Phoenix Suns did think about drafting Stephen Curry, who has played with the Golden State Warriors throughout his nine-year career. He not only spoke about thinking about trading but also compared him to one of the greatest NBA players in their team. The host asked whether aspects like being too slow or too short ever resonated with them when it came to evaluating drafting Stephen Curry.

He said, “It was a concern, but not that big a concern not to draft him after we traded up. We weren’t able to, but I mean, he was so much like Steve Nash, I mean, we had seen the likes of Mike D’Antoni come in and change the way the NBA was played. The Suns were kind of at the forefront of that, so it was easier to see Steph stepping into a role where he could be a shot creator, shot maker, like Nash. Because neither guy blew you away with the speed and bounce, but it was a balance and the coordination that was so breathtaking.”
