    Say what you want about Mark Jackson, but having both Steph and Klay yet running the entire offense through Jarret Jack was a bold choice.

    And what a change it was. None of those championships come from Mark Jackson, only with Kerr’s experience do we win any.

    Mark Jackson is my least favorite commentator. He’s a hypocrite, fake religious man, and never gave curry enough praise because he was jealous of what Kerr did that he couldn’t do.

    Forget Mark Jackson.

    People can say what they want but Pockets brought a defensive identity to the Warriors and put confidence in the Splash Bros which was pivotal to the team’s identity. He was also pivotal in Iguodala coming to this team as a FA. Kerr came in revolutionized the offense and the rest was history on top of that Steve is really likeable which is something Jackson really lacked(outside of his main players).

    One thing that is never mentioned is that Kerr had plenty leverage in taking the Warriors position so he was able to bring in his own staff and honestly that is one of his biggest strengths. Jackson did not have the same leverage as a first time head coach so he was given most of his staff and that IMO was one of the biggest issues with his tenure. He showed too much paranoia and he really handled things wrong and that led to a shaky relationship with management, hence no job offers to this day…

    Because Jackson was too busy playing in scrimmages and hosting shooting contests between himself and the stars and basically ignored all bench players. Kerr did the opposite, let the stars be and focus on coaching up the role players and synergy.

    Damn… so many fans here hate Jackson, but all you hear from the players is how they somewhat felt “empowered” by him.

    He was part of the journey and helped. But it was absolutely the right move to bring in Kerr. Clearly.
