"IN THE NEW NBA, THE GUNNER IS A GOOD TEAMMATE, NOT A BALL HOG" -- Mike Wise

An excerpt: “Have you corrupted the game?”

[Steve] Kerr could not keep a straight face when I asked him that question in an empty corridor of the Oracle Arena during last June’s NBA Finals.

Half-smiling he replied, “When I’m at basketball camps I always say, ‘If you want to be a great shooter from 25 feet, you better be a great shooter from 4 feet first.’ So if kids are out there shooting 28-footers and they can’t make a 10-footer, that’s a problem.”
