Kerr Suggests NBA Without 3-Pointers
27 Apr
Summary
- Steve Kerr proposed eliminating the NBA's 3-point line.
- He believes this change could foster greater creativity in play.
- Kerr is also considering his future with the Golden State Warriors.
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr recently expressed a surprising idea for the NBA's future: the complete removal of the 3-point shot. Kerr, himself a historically great shooter, suggested this change could lead to greater player creativity and a more diverse style of basketball. He noted that analytics have even deemed some 3-point attempts as poor shots, sparking his contemplation.
Kerr clarified that this is a hypothetical consideration and not a formal proposal. He indicated he would not seriously consider such a change until after Steph Curry's retirement from the league. The legendary coach also touched upon his own future with the Warriors, acknowledging it's a complex decision after 12 years with the team.
Kerr stated that leaving alongside star players like Steph Curry and Draymond Green would simplify his decision. However, he acknowledged the possibility of continuing together and expects to finalize his decision regarding his role with the Warriors within the next couple of weeks. Since 2014, Kerr has led the Warriors to four NBA championships.
