Steve Kerr and Rodman

When you own the best record in the NBA, it’s hard to find something to complain about. Unfortunately for the Warriors, their owner Joe Lacob brought some negative attention to the team by making some unnecessary comments about former coach Mark Jackson. Players and Steve Kerr have reacted to Lacob’s comments, who has since apologized for his mistake, but they all admit it’s an unnecessary distraction.

The comparisons between Kerr and Jackson will continue to happen as the season continues. However, one of Kerr’s former teammates doesn’t give him any credit for the work he’s done in Golden State. According to Jim Park of the Sheridan Blog, Rodman believes Kerr has had no impact on this team:

Very critical comments by the former rebounding monster. Kerr himself has said that he’s inherited a great team with a good collection of players, so it’s not like Kerr is taking all the credit. Jackson did a significant job with this ball club and players like Steph recognize that he built a great foundation.

Rodman and Kerr don’t seem to have a personal feud, according to Jim Park, Rodman just has a problem with first year head coaches:

After watching this team for the first 20 games of the season, the biggest difference has been their efficiency on offense and that’s something the Warriors needed to address to put them in contention this season. Kerr has a great staff behind him, but to discredit the work he’s done is unfair.

    Part of being a good head coach is having a good staff. I think all of this ties together as kind of the point.
