Thats still not helping your point. Wolves and Dre is saying he was just a shooter, thats it. And thats really what your saying ther too.

i think phoenix would be a great fit for Finley - and could soften the blow of losing both of their starting-caliber shooting guards

Who got Kerr open for those shots? Kerr or Duncan/Jordan? Answer that and i think you'll see Wolves' point. -Dre Actually, those 3's he made were off of swing passes for Stephen Jackson, one of the 3's he made was off a double team of Malik Rose (who knows what Nash was thinking), I have the DVD, and I've watched that quarter many times. Ah yes! It was Stephen Jackson, Malik Rose and Steve Kerr who were responsible for the Spurs winning! My fault! It only gets better! Kerr is not only just a shooter, he's a great cheerleader too! Although he dons the knee pads with the best of them as well.

But it must be because he knows so much about the game and was a proven NBA player, right? Right? I mean, he singlehandedly won a championship for the Spurs, obviously. It just couldn't be because he's white. It's not like Vinnie Johnson wasn't 100 times the player Kerr ever hoped to be or anything...

Although Kerr was a pretty bad player, he could shoot the ball. Also Dre, I dunno who you always hate people who can shoot....I suppose Larry Bird wasn't much of a player?

Na Bird could play man...yeh he could shoot too, but he could play basketball, the guy did it all. Guys like Kerr just kinda stand around and shoot wit nobody guarding 'em..that's why I hate on 'em lol.
I don't hate on people who can shoot. I hate on people can do nothing but shoot set shots when open..and are no good at anything else.

I don't see Miles as a real great player...but I don't think he's trash.
At 6'9" he's a great ball handler and passer. He can run the floor, finish near the rim, and can defend anywhere from the 1 to sometimes the 4 from what I saw this past season.
Of course Miles might be a bad example for me..I'm one of the last guys who still believes he can put it together and earn some credibility for his production rather than just his talent.

As you may have been able to tell, I praise talent (which is why I think a lil more of Miles, and other players who haven't gotten their chance than some). Standing around then shooting an open shot doesn't take a whole lot. Sure it's not that easy to shoot and make a lot from 3, and I'll give them their due as effective...but it's not exactly a great feat.

Shooting is very important part of basketball and it's getting more importance each season. Sure that being an athletic guy that jumps a lot helps you being a good basketball player and those that can create AND shoot are the real good ones but if you don't know how to shoot you'll never be great (unless you have to body to do what you want aka Shaq).
Nowadays with the zone defense it gets harder and harder to win without shooters and the US should have got that. Maybe that way they would have taken Ray Allen and others to the Olimpics and win it. And also the World Championship. It's really easy to clog up the middle and if the other team doesn't have shooters then they have no answer. Dre makes it sound like it's so easy to shoot but then I don't get why isn't everyone at least a decent shooter. There is a reason why shooters are becoming more and more important in the NBA and the reason is that they aren't THAT easy to find. Basketball is less and less a one on one game. It's a team game and those who haven't got it will see teams like the Pistons and the Spurs continue to dominate. And shooters are important pieces of every team.
You need shooters to win no matter how you look at it. Guys that can make shots, especially on very important ocasions are remembered and they are for a reason. That's Steve Kerr. Sure he wasn't great. He wasn't alone why the Spurs won that championship but it also wasn't because of Duncan alone. Duncan was the most important piece but he wouldn't have won it without S Jax, Rose, Kerr and others. I remember that game very well and Spurs were done. Kerr made 4 three pointers, turned the score around and most importantly, the momentum. Horry didn't win the championship for the Spurs. But we all know that if wasn't for that amazing performarce and shots in that game in Detroit, Spurs would probably lose the series. Was Kerr just lucky to be on the right teams? Sure, but he had his importance there. Was he just on the right place at the right time when Jordan passed him the ball? Probably but he made that shot and we can't say anyone would do it. He made a name for himself and people should give him some credit.

Unless this is a thing of white players vs black players. If it's the case then I'm out of my league.
