$35 million Steve Kerr believes Stephen Curry and co are playing with little ‘house money’ in the 2022-23 season
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes his team is ready to take on the challenge of repeating as champions.
The Golden State Warriors are once again at the top of the NBA, winning their fourth title in 8 years. The Bay Area team has managed to silence all those who doubt if they will ever win again. The perfect mix of veterans and young talent, the Dubs are also backed by outstanding management.
While there’s no question that Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green deserve all the applause in the world, it’s about time coach Steve Kerr, general manager Bob Myers and owner Joe Lacob got their flowers. The Warriors organization has one of the best cultures in all of American sports.
With an estimated valuation of $5.5 billion, Golden State has evolved over the years, changing the basketball landscape in every way. Coming off another championship year, Coach Kerr is nothing but fired up as the Warriors try to repeat.

In a recent interview with Damon and Ratto from 95.7Kerr addressed expectations for the upcoming 2022-23 season.
Steve Kerr opens up about the Warriors’ upcoming season.
GSW’s ability to scouting talent is unlike any other franchise in the NBA. During a recent conversation, Coach Kerr revealed his excitement for the upcoming season and said it would be fun to win two in a row. Having been a part of the NBA, first as a player and later as a coach, Kerr has built a fortune worth $35 million.
The former Bulls player knows what it feels like to win multiple championships, having been a part of the Michael Jordan era in Chicago.
“My experience is that trying to repeat is really a lot of fun,” the Warriors coach said. “If you’re lucky enough to win two in a row, that third one is routine.”
However, Coach Kerr believes the veteran names on the roster have nothing else to prove and should enjoy the game. The former COTY doesn’t forget to mention general manager Myers and owner Lacob for doing a splendid job of keeping it all together, with the Warriors having the highest payroll.
“I don’t think we’re going to get burned in any way,” Kerr said. “In fact, I think we will be very excited.
I think all of our guys will be ready to roll, get back up and try to repeat. We have the big picture in mind for our season. We’ll see where everyone is in terms of conditioning.”
Speaking of veterans on the list, Kerr said.
“They don’t have much to prove, anyway. That’s a good place to be. You are playing with a little house money. Those guys have four rings. They have nothing to prove. They can let it run and just play for the fun of the game, and their natural competitiveness will take over.”
With little time left until the 2022-23 season, it will be interesting to see if the Warriors return with the same fire.
