1. How many more Championships will Steve Kerr win in his coaching career? Will he surpass Coach Pop?
Shereen:
It’s going to be very hard to surpass his former Coach Pop and Coach Jackson, but I think he has the skills to work with NBA players with ego’s, so I think he has at least a couple more with this team, and you never know how long he will be coaching.
Miguel:
I think he realistically can win 2-3 more. But I don’t see him passing Pop unless he gets a team like Pop has.
Brad:
It’s going to be very difficult for Steve Kerr to top Coach Pop’s head coaching ring count. Kerr will be the first to tell you how hard it is to go through a grueling two month playoff run every season. I’m also not convinced he will do this head coaching gig as long as Pop. If the Warriors can keep making trips to the Finals in the near future, a healthier King James squad could be waiting for him year after year.
Ryan:
Honestly I was thinking about this question ever since the Warriors took home the chip. Winning a championship as a rookie head coach is a true accomplishment in itself. He could have a long tenure as Coach Pop if he solidify’s the splash brothers as two franchise players.
Iguodala might as well be considered in that mix among the Warriors big three. But who knows. as the West is getting better and better it might be tough uphill battle to make it past the first round next year.
