Steve Kerr Needs a Good Showing
The United States is known for many things around the world, one of which is how well our men and women play basketball. Their talent is considered some of the best in the world. There may not be a corner of the world that has not seen one of these all-stars play.
The pressure is not just on the players; some carry an even greater burden. This year’s team head coach is Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors. Imagine the responsibility to take this melting pot of players into one of the best teams the world has ever seen for the Summer Olympic Games and FIBA World Cup.
Steve Kerr has to deal with more than the games and the fate of watching these players take on the world’s best. Most players are still in the NBA finals, and the Olympics start in less than 50 days. That isn’t a lot of time for travel and turning them into a well-oiled machine on the court.
In the 2024 Paris games, these players will be in 5-on-5 and 3-on-3, men’s and women’s. Can they keep the winning streak going and win a fifth gold medal for the United States?
