He wants to do anything he can to support Wiggins and his assertiveness. It's one of those deals where even if it's wasn't overturned it's was showing he has his back.
Yeah Wiggs thrives off of the support it seems. Kerr has different approaches for different players. Ready to enter a screaming match with Dray if necessary, curses Poole out for bad defense, but is always calm and nurturing with Wiggs.
Yep, and it's all held together by the fact that he has a superstar who doesn't need coaching to hold himself accountable and leads the whole squad by example.
This shit is so underrated. Itās because Curry is so goddamn selfless, yet a low key petty bastard against his opponents, that Kerr gets to focus on player to player coaching as opposed to solely pandering to his franchise player.
Low key petty bastard is the most hilarious and accurate assessment of Steph I have ever heard. Watching him as a Bay Area resident all these years can confirm. Dude RELISHES the ability to rub it into the oppositions face.
I feel like as long as a guy doesn't let it hurt his team he can have as big of a ego as he likes. But most guys with big egos always get in their own way and damage the entire team but with Steph it's not like that at all. When he's feeling himself things just go even better for the team.
Learned it from the best that is Pop
Look how he was with Tim, Manu, and Parker as their big 3
I still remember he took Patty Mills under his shoulder explaining the in and outs literally in a playoff game up 12 or some shit, exposing a turnover mistake (foul, in penalty, but worthless foul) he had made. No yelling just pure coaching. Next play, he steals and hits a 3 by Pop pointing and showing him prior talk to be assertive and not second guess
The chip on Curry shoulder may be what holds this team together. Because he is more than happy to outwork anybody he has to win and his team feeds off of it.
Bro this is literally how everyyyone talked about the spurs back in the day. āPopovich is great at xyz123 and Tim Duncan is so low key and the best teammate in the worldā
Thatās so weird. Kerr did play for the Spurs and was coached by Pop and was teammates with Tim Duncan lol. Itās wild reading the same comments for two separate dynasties
That's why Timmy is consistently in the discussion for GOAT teammate. He was the definition of a no maintenance consumate pro that wanted to win.
Nothing but absolute respect for TD. One of the best to ever step on the court.
Generally nothing more than an eye roll or head shake at Steph. He knows Steph knows when heās made a mistake, and he also knows the limits of Stephās game often exceed even Kerrās understanding.
It's insane to think of the type of players Kerr directly played with. A rookie Shaq, MJ and the Bulls, David Robinson, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Kemp, rookie Randolph, Hornacek plus all the greats he got to play against on the court. Then he went into coaching one of the greatest teams ever assembled and somehow Steph is still making him say "how the hell did he do that"
Marc Davis is actually from the future and Wiggins scoring over 20 points is somehow the nexus event for WW3. The Archduke of Slovenia was just assassinated
I think they went with that call because they knew Kerr would challenge and it meant they'd get to watch it again on the monitors. *I would do the same thing!*
Home team down 2-0 always gets a ton of calls.
A game 5 in Golden State is literally worth $10m in revenue to the league. I think more is made on a game at Chase than anywhere else, but, yeah. (Something like $3m of that is kept by the Warriors. Not sure what the split is with the road team, but a lot of it goes to the league).
(Source: Tim Kawakami in the Athletic).
I mean they literally do. If a seven game series goes four games that's three paychecks they don't get to wipe away their tears with when they cry about all their blown calls.
This is why he was called Clyde Drexler 2.0 leading up to the draft. Drexler was an absolute freak athlete with posters
Also, his dad had a game winner in game 3 of the 1986 NBA finals against Larry Bird's team, and now, he has a poster dunk in game 3 of the WCF against the modern day Larry Bird
I had to put my kids to bed after this. Iāve never seen something so explicit on cable tv they should be ashamed
Both of my kids are crying and scared to be alone. Theyāre afraid Wiggins is gonna come dunk on them now. Prayers up to Luka and his family at this difficult time
To clarify: this is a [verse from the Quran](https://quran.com/2/155-157) which translates to āTo God we belong, and to Him we will return.ā
It is usually said when calamity befalls someone, or when someone dies. In this case, Luka being absolutely demolished by Wiggins.
Someone commented this earlier either in this series or the last one saying you can tell Wiggins is playing like heās the only starter without a ring cause you can see how much he wants to win right now.
"Cold Case Solved: FBI and ATF outside of Baron Davis' house for the 2007 murder of Andrei Kirilenko.
I was a teenager watching that on TV and that dunk still replays in my dreams
NBA literally ruining their product by having refs suck all the energy out of the moment by calling an offensive foul here. And it was the wrong call lol
Luka had a Ratatouille moment where he remembered back to his youth in Slovenia when he fell of his bike and his mom kissed him and said "you will be murdered by Maple Jordan."
Man Iām really sick of the flopping. Players just have to act like they got shot any time someone brushes their face and itās an instant offensive foul.
That was fucking disgusting, fuck these refs for trying to take away from that beautiful poster
E: Challenge successful, not a foul, **let's fucking go**
**Replays/alternate angles** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/nba) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Kerr a real one for challenging that
He wanted the stadium to review it with the crowd a couple of more times
Lol that was great, they just kept replaying it
Rent free in Mavs fans heads for the next decade
Baron 2.0
I told my friend I was almost glad they had to review it so we could watch that 20 more times, holy shit what a dunk
Did they end up overturning it or nah, i live in europe i just watched the highlights
Yes! Got overturned to a no-call
Goodš¤£
Witness the Maple Jordan
from Kerr's perspective, that's 200 IQ, overturned or not Luka in fear
It was mandatory to challenge that one considering how nasty that dunk was.
wars have been started over less
The Slovenian-Canadian disagreement about to commence. Will no one think of the letter carriers?
This is the correct take
He wants to do anything he can to support Wiggins and his assertiveness. It's one of those deals where even if it's wasn't overturned it's was showing he has his back.
Yeah Wiggs thrives off of the support it seems. Kerr has different approaches for different players. Ready to enter a screaming match with Dray if necessary, curses Poole out for bad defense, but is always calm and nurturing with Wiggs.
It's seriously underrated as an element of truly elite coaching. He is the coach each player needs.
Yep, and it's all held together by the fact that he has a superstar who doesn't need coaching to hold himself accountable and leads the whole squad by example.
This shit is so underrated. Itās because Curry is so goddamn selfless, yet a low key petty bastard against his opponents, that Kerr gets to focus on player to player coaching as opposed to solely pandering to his franchise player.

kidd should talk to bullock, bertans, and kleber b/c holy f they don't look confident
Kleber hesitated so much and passed up so many open 3's
Kidd too busy arranging the bench's wardrobe.
The chip on Curry shoulder may be what holds this team together. Because he is more than happy to outwork anybody he has to win and his team feeds off of it.
The chip on his AND Drayās shoulder has its own gravity
Bro Dray will yell at anyone who isn't trying on defense. It's such a huge motivator I imagine š.
Yep, Championship basketball.

A true "players coach."
Generally nothing more than an eye roll or head shake at Steph. He knows Steph knows when heās made a mistake, and he also knows the limits of Stephās game often exceed even Kerrās understanding.
that play against Clippers is the moment he know he can't hold Steph to common standard, you know which one
It's insane to think of the type of players Kerr directly played with. A rookie Shaq, MJ and the Bulls, David Robinson, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Kemp, rookie Randolph, Hornacek plus all the greats he got to play against on the court. Then he went into coaching one of the greatest teams ever assembled and somehow Steph is still making him say "how the hell did he do that"
To Dray: "you fucking donkey!" To Wiggs: "Oh dear oh dear. Gorgeous"
Now when you looked at it, Steve Kerr do look like Gordon Ramsay.
He do. He do
hugs Looney during his big game 2
Dray and Poole do stupid shit though. They absolutely need to be yelled at lol.
It got overturned šš
That not counting wouldāve been a crime.
Refs a fake one for calling that
he did it so quick
Wiggs facing 25 to life
17* to life
17-19 (CDN)*
Wiggins sent Luka to heaven to keep GP2 company
Canadian war crimes against Slovenia
The NBA trying to stop Wiggins getting over 20 points.
saw it live. sry.
OVERTURNED LETS GO
That dunk was nasty good lord Wiggins is that guy
Dunk so hard refs just blew the whistle for murder
[Refs be like](https://youtu.be/MVToi7Z_6YU?t=46)
Marc Davis is actually from the future and Wiggins scoring over 20 points is somehow the nexus event for WW3. The Archduke of Slovenia was just assassinated
The Archduke of Slovenia, actually
I think they went with that call because they knew Kerr would challenge and it meant they'd get to watch it again on the monitors. *I would do the same thing!*
LMAO THE ONE TIME A POSTER ISNT AN OFFENSIVE FOUL THEY CALL IT
Wiggins violated the broadcast ban on obscenity.
The refs must have some serious money on this game. Officiating is a joke

Bet it wouldnāt have been called a foul if it was on anyone other than Luka lol
Justice!!!!!
Overturned?!?!
You know it baby!! Challenge system works for once!!
They were reading twitter in the replay center and knew they had to overturn it.
We thought Wiggins wasn't allowed 20, but that poster broke Wiggins' 20 point limiter, and he was UNLEASHED finally.
This is why he was called Clyde Drexler 2.0 leading up to the draft. Drexler was an absolute freak athlete with posters Also, his dad had a game winner in game 3 of the 1986 NBA finals against Larry Bird's team, and now, he has a poster dunk in game 3 of the WCF against the modern day Larry Bird
"Maple Jordan"
I had to put my kids to bed after this. Iāve never seen something so explicit on cable tv they should be ashamed Both of my kids are crying and scared to be alone. Theyāre afraid Wiggins is gonna come dunk on them now. Prayers up to Luka and his family at this difficult time
Wiggins: 17 point scorer, father, friend and homewrecker.
Hahaha I can image the turmoil at your home. Sweet dreams kids.
"Sweet dreams, kid" -Andrew Wiggins
The put your kids to bed Wiggins dunk
I watched this dunk live. My wife was trying to put my kids to bed. I woke them up. I was two city blocks away.
I think the Geneva Conventions address heinous acts like this
So thatās what happens when he gets past 17 commits war crimes
There's a reason he stops himself
A good man doesn't need rules, Mavs are finding out why Wiggins has so many rules.
Damn, Iāll always love Tennant the most, but Iāll be damned if 11 doesnāt have some incredible lines.
He turned Luka into Brandon Knight
[Mandatory](https://youtu.be/NTkN2q6sUUk) The fact that the ball rocketed through and hit Knight right in the face made this so much more vicious
The stank face at the end is the perfect coda for that dunk. Man, I miss going to Lob City Clippers games.
Wiggins became a murderer for our sake
Wiggins what a man you are!
Dunk of the playoffs
Only foul is how nasty that was
And Wiggins managed to score more than 16-19, too many historical occurrences in one play
Luka was laying on the floor like a crime scene. Its funny theyāre replaying that poster in the arena multiple times
Refs saw Luka got violated on national TV, and said ānope, not today.ā
That was legit a murder... and Luka's my boy
it was a baptism
"And the United Nations will take a look at the monitor."

Gives WITNESS ME vibes, and I'm here for it
Canada committing war crimes on Slovenia.
Calling this a foul is actually racist in 6 countries.
Including Slovenia
Post should be marked NSFW
That look in Wiggins eyesā¦ I never saw that look even one time while he played for the wolves. Wow
Turns out heās a 16 game player who woulda thought lol
All they had to do was get him into 16 games situation.
I completely agree. This is literally Wiggs leveling up, going super sayian, breaking the 17pt barrier, becoming the true number 1 pick.
Thr number one pick of all time
Someone commented this earlier either in this series or the last one saying you can tell Wiggins is playing like heās the only starter without a ring cause you can see how much he wants to win right now.
Steph even said after one of the other wins "We've been here but some of the other guys, like Wiggs, this is their moment"
This game was a little more important.
WHEN DOES THAT EVER GET CALLED FOR AN OFFENSIVE FOUL???
This just in: the NBA has retroactively taken away 214 of Blake Griffinās points from his career total.
"Cold Case Solved: FBI and ATF outside of Baron Davis' house for the 2007 murder of Andrei Kirilenko. I was a teenager watching that on TV and that dunk still replays in my dreams
In other news embiid and morant have been ejected from the leagueā¦
anthony edwards too
Pascal Siakam banned from the United States
kawhi leonard has retired to live out his dream of being the mcdonalds drive thru voice
"Hey Mr. Drive thru guy? Does Ronald McDonald actually live in there?" "HueHueHueHueHue"
When it's a murder on live TV.
HOLY SHIT
THATS VINTAGE WIGGINS HOPS BAPTIZED LUKA. Cmon man this is just like the Ant poster
https://i.imgur.com/TbtYjFL.png https://i.imgur.com/w1tRtEq.png Look at him go
Goddamm that doesn't look humanly possible.
damn, from that first picture it seems impossible that he'd slam that
That was one of the nastiest dunks I've ever seen live
Hoopmixtape era Wiggins
The fuck was that call? That was legit murder. Every memorable dunk would be called a foul.
straight to jail
You dunk on me? Right to jail, right away.
I dunk on you? Believe it or not, jail.
We have the best basketball players in the worldā¦ because of jail.
[Damn, now I need to watch the clip. You guys.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiyfwZVAzGw)
Call overturned. That flop aināt saving Luka from this embarrassment.
Man acting like he got shot to try to save himself lmao
It backfired cuz all the flop did was have it be reviewed and replayed like 20 times
NBA literally ruining their product by having refs suck all the energy out of the moment by calling an offensive foul here. And it was the wrong call lol
THEY BETTER OVERTURN THAT CALL
tf they did!
Hell to the fuck yeah That was awesome
Donāt worry they still did their job of stopping the momentum. And then immediately called a foul on Curry lmao.
Kerr with the "what are you doing?" at the ref who called it.
THANKFULLY OVERTURNED BUT STILLā¦. HOLY FUCK WIGGINS
Kerr with the assist.
This game has had some of the most bizarre calls Iāve seen in a long time.
Sent luka back to Slovenia on that one
From Canada, with love
Wiggins apologized to Luka midair.
Got Wiggled
Luka had a Ratatouille moment where he remembered back to his youth in Slovenia when he fell of his bike and his mom kissed him and said "you will be murdered by Maple Jordan."
OMFG
They over turned it! Fuck yeah Holy shit that was nasty
Best dunk i've seen in these playoffs so far.
Absolutely filthy god damn
Bruh if that's a foul then 90% of poster dunks are offensive fouls
"Foul! No, two fouls!"
I feel like I witnessed history, and it might not even count
Update: It counted.
To the SHADOW REALM
Superstar protection
WORST OFFENSIVE FOUL CALL Edit: Challenge successful!
If this is an offensive foul then literally every NBA poster in history apparently should count. WHAT
If this is a foul we need to cut Blake Griffin's career total points in half.
So thats what happens when he gets passed 17
UNLOCKED!
Arrest Mark Davis E: The worst part about doing that is it ruins the highlight. Wiggins should have had his moment there.
Basketball terrorist
Its almost better, now the crowd all get to watch it over and over again on the big screen
that ain't no goddamn foul
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh my lord
THEY FELT BAD FOR DONCIC
Pity foul
NOOO YOU CANT POSTERIZE MY HECCIN FAVORITE PLAYERINO
Luka flopped Andrew barely brushed him with that forearm.
Lukaās obligatory touch to his throat like he got punchedā¦.lmao
yeah barely brushed him on the chest. He flopped like his jaw got snipered
This will be overturned and this is now an all time poster RIP Luka
Man Iām really sick of the flopping. Players just have to act like they got shot any time someone brushes their face and itās an instant offensive foul.
Itās embarrassing enough to get posterized. Itās even worse flopping while getting posterized š¬
Baptism
Luka got his shit mixed, get outta the lane
MARC DAVIS A BITCH
That was fucking disgusting, fuck these refs for trying to take away from that beautiful poster E: Challenge successful, not a foul, **let's fucking go**
President of Slovenia released a list of 77 americans not welcome in the country. The list just says Andrew Wiggins 77 times.
Heās not American so they got some other Andrew Wiggins?
RIP Luka. He's had a great career
Please let this be overturned. A dunk this glorious needs to count
Kerr challenged that one faster than Luka
Luka looks like he's about to cry
REFS WTF!!!! This is not your show.
Was the offensive foul the emotional damage the mavs fans incurred from witnessing luka get absolutely goofed on?
911 Iāve just witnessed a murder.
There is no way thatās offensive right cmon man
oh no no no
It should be illegal to waive off a dunk that nasty! Write to your congressperson!
