Steve Kerr hopes Warriors can emulate Spurs' long-term success

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has said his side patterned a lot of what they do after San Antonio Spurs ahead of their clash on Tuesday. Over the past 20 years, Spurs general manager RC Buford and coach Gregg Popovich have helped build one of the NBA's most successful franchises, becoming a model for the league. Kerr has seen San Antonio's culture up close, having played five years with the Spurs and won two titles as a player. "Their model just had an amazing run of consistency," the Warriors coach said. "We patterned a lot of what we do after them. Pop has made such an influence on my life, my coaching, and I've learned so much from him. So not only the sets that we run on the floor but just the way we try to treat our players or handle our business. I learned a lot from my time here." Kerr also added: "You have to make your own model. I think we're very proud of what we've accomplished here, what we've established over the last, I would say seven, eight years since Joe bought the team. Your identity is forever evolving and being established. "I learned a lot from my time here, and who wouldn't want to be like them?" Kerr said. "They've been the best." Source- Yahoo! Sports
