Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was left in awe of Steph Curry’s relentless drive and commitment after the Warriors’ 103-89 Game 7 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday. The win secured the Warriors’ place in the second round of the playoffs, but it was Curry’s determination that truly stood out.
Kerr showered praise on his star point guard, stressing that Curry’s dedication to the game is unparalleled, even after achieving nearly every accolade in the sport. The coach admitted that he was constantly amazed by Curry’s tireless work ethic and his refusal to rest on his laurels, calling it a testament to the player’s greatness.
“I’m blown away by Steph’s competitive fight,” Kerr said. “He has four rings. A gold medal. He has nothing to prove, and yet he comes in every single night with something to prove. Draymond and Jimmy too.”

He also contributed in other areas, recording 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and two blocks in 45:30 minutes of play.
