If anyone would know, it's Steve Kerr.
The Warriors head coach spent five seasons with the Bulls as a sharpshooter, winning three titles and witnessing the greatness that was Michael Jordan on a daily basis. He also got to witness the madness that was Jordan's fans, their rabid following, and the lengths they would go to catch a glimpse or potentially get a piece of the legend. And, according to CBS Sports, Kerr believes fans' current infatuation with his star player Stephen Curry is approaching Jordan level.
When you're the reigning MVP, arguably the best shooter the game has ever seen, and the star on a team that's taking aim at one of the NBA's most hallowed records (72-10), the increased attention kind of comes with the territory. But those who have been around the league for years have noticed pregame crowds for regular season Warriors games that are usually reserved for the Finals and not some random winter evening.
When you couple his memorizing shooting displays with his insane dribbling warmup can you blame fans for wanting to experience as much Curry as possible?
