A lot of impressionable boys and girls who worship at the altar of roundball are going to be gobsmacked when Warriors coach Steve Kerr is appointed Grand Potentate of basketball.
“If I was the czar of American basketball I would make every player coming through the youth basketball program play futbol,” Kerr said recently on the Men in Blazers podcast.
“Futbol” meaning soccer for the uninitiated.
Guaranteed that would cause widespread consternation on the part of up-and-coming practitioners of the between-the-legs dribble, the killer crossover, the jab step, the kick-out of the legs on every 3-point hoist.
