Warriors' Stephen Curry is 'short version of Tim' Duncan Warriors head coach Steve Kerr still sees something quite similar in Curry, one of the league's best-ever outside shooters, and Duncan, one of game's best-ever two-way players on the interior. "I think Steph is the short version of Tim, in terms of what Steph means to our franchise — not just his play, but also the way he carries himself and his image," said Kerr, who played with Duncan in San Antonio from 1998 through 2001 and 2002-03. When Curry was about 8 years old, he watched Duncan work out before a basketball camp at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C. When he walked into the gym, Curry was amazed by a flat-footed Duncan reaching up and grabbing the middle of the basketball net. Good friends, Kerr and San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich chatted before Monday's game. The Warriors were named co-Retailer of the Year by the NBA, sharing the honor with the Toronto Raptors for the 2014-15 season. The league has given the award since 2002.
