Steve Kerr on if Steph Curry was thinking about the record tonight :
“No, I thought Steph took a couple of quick ones early that maybe he was trying to get himself going… The ball just wasn’t going in.” – 2:14 AM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
While Andre Iguodala is out tonight against Portland, Steve Kerr expects him to be ready to go on Saturday in Philadelphia. – 8:16 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater

Andre Iguodala is “a possibility” to return for the Warriors tomorrow against the Blazers, per Kerr. Missed the last 10 games. Kuminga/Moody will be in the G-League for two games, but rejoin Warriors for road trip. – 4:52 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews

Steve Kerr on Steph Curry: “It’s hard to even fathom where this (3-pointers) record will stand when he retires. He will obliterate it. … It’s sort of mind-numbing.” – 4:47 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Steve Kerr: “I think Steph in a lot of ways is like Michael Jordan because there are so many moments that stand out that they all kind of bleed together. … Maybe that’s the true sign of greatness.” – 4:44 PM

Adrian Wojnarowski: This is Grant Hill’s first major decision as the new managing director of USA Basketball. Hill’s been meeting with potential candidates for several months and comes away with a staff that includes significant accomplishment on international, NBA and college stages. -via Twitter @wojespn / December 10, 2021 Joe Vardon: Not only will Steve Kerr be the next Team USA coach, I’m told, but Cavs center Jarrett Allen is going to get strong consideration to be on the next team. The World Cup is in 2023 and the Olympics in 2024. -via Twitter @joevardon / December 10, 2021 Jeff McDonald: Pop said one of the satisfying parts of the Olympics was sending J Colangelo out with gold: “In all honesty, that part scared me to death. I don’t know if I could have gone on living with that. He’d had so much success. To not win that final one would have been just horrendous.” -via Twitter @JMcDonald_SAEN / December 6, 2021
