Dornbirn coach inspires after NBA trip: Curry and Kerr were overwhelming!
Dornbirn, Österreich - The coach of the Dornbirn Lions, Kostas Papavasileiou, has fulfilled a dream in the past few weeks: the training of the NBA stars Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr. After a stay in the USA, he is enthusiastic about the impressions he could collect. He was particularly impressed by the modesty of the two basketball sizes. "It was unbelievable to meet Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr, my absolute heroes. Even now I still have goose bumps when I think about it," said Papavasileiou after a victorious game against BBU Salzburg, where he was wearing an elegant black suit, which was almost indicated as a lucky charm. Before his trip, he had contacted the Warriors via LinkedIn and sent suggestions for improvement, which finally led to his invitation. As a confessing Warriors fan, Papavasileiou visited the team for the third time and took the chance to immerse yourself in the world of the NBA that he describes as a "marketing machine".
Warriors at a turning point
At the same time, the Golden State Warriors are still facing major challenges in the NBA. Head Coach Steve Kerr emphasized that the franchise is not ready to sacrifice its future for short -term success. After a strong start of 12-3, the squad deteriorated to a current status of 19-20, which the team thrown back to the 12th place in the Western Conference. Kerr said that it was important to remain realistic about the current situation while working on retail for new players. "We must not give in," said Kerr, adding that it was not responsible to give away the next seven drafts for a short-term risk throw, which would only make "bad organizations".
The team remains careful in view of the upcoming Trade Deadline on February 6th. So far there have been only a few smaller transactions, such as the purchase of Dennis Schroder. The team shows interest in different players, but remains reserved in terms of selling young talents. Curry, who continues to play a central role and recently extended his contract, confirmed responsibility to keep the franchise healthy in the long term. This shows how different the situations of Papavasileiou and the Warriors are, but both are proof of passion and dedication to one of the most exciting sports in the world.Details | |
