OAKLAND -- Warriors coach Steve Kerr typically avoids campaigning for his players to get individual awards. He made an exception on Friday.
He made a passionate, and reasoned, pitch for Andre Iguodala to win the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award.
“I don't know if I've ever really pushed any of our players for awards -- Steph (Curry) for MVP, Draymond (Green)for Defensive Player of the Year,” Kerr said prior to tipoff against Houston at Oracle Arena. “Maybe i have. It's not something I normally do. But I am sort of intrigued by the Sixth Man of the Year award.
