Madeline Kenney: Steve Kerr on Kevon Looney: “I think Loon is one of the best centers in the league, I really do. And people don’t recognzie it becasue he’s not dunking and shooting 3s and all that stuff. This guy is a flat-out winner and he’s a machine. We wouldn’t be here without him.”

So often we see Kevon Looney as a feel-good story who has proved doubters wrong.
It’s time to face the facts: He’s one of the best centers in all of basketball nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 10:26 PM

LeBron James is about to face Stephen Curry in the postseason for the sixth time.
James has had four coaches in that span: David Blatt (2015 Finals), Ty Lue (2016-18 Finals), Frank Vogel (2021 play-in) and Darvin Ham (2023 second round).
Curry has only ever had Steve Kerr. – 10:09 PM

Kevon Looney.
Dave Cowens.

Steph Curry is rightfully going to get the lions share of love but the Warriors don’t win that game without Looney. – 7:53 PM

Steph Curry just did THAT in a game in which his best teammate was Kevon Looney.
Not Pippen.
Not Kyrie.
Not Kareem.
Not McHale.
Not Shaq.
Not Baylor.
Kevon. Looney.
Maybe THE all-time “get on my back” playoff performance. – 7:35 PM

Great season for the Kings but watching the Warriors ignore Domantas Sabonis on the perimeter and limit him inside while Kevon Looney bullied him on the boards has to raise questions. Was this an issue unique to GSW matchup? Does he need an enforcer next to him? A lot to resolve. – 6:13 PM
