Warriors news: Curry expands business territory, Kerr steps down as men s basketball coach, ranked second predicted

Curry expands business territory

Today, according to a report by American reporter Lauren Saria, sources revealed that Warriors star Stephen Curry will open a bar together with the famous American chef Michael Mina, which will officially open tomorrow. It is understood that Curry and Mina got connected because of their mutual love of bourbon. The two hit it off and decided to combine whiskey culture and high-end catering to create a bourbon-themed secret bar. The Eighth Rule, a bar jointly opened by the two, is located at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. The bar offers gourmet food, high-quality whiskey, and regularly hosts various events including music performances, wine tastings, and cooking classes.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time Curry has invested in the opening of a bar. The author believes that Curry's move is very meaningful. On the one hand, Curry has substantially extended his hobbies of food and bourbon, allowing more people to experience his preferences; on the other hand, Curry can also get to know more food and beverage tycoons, liquor tycoons and business people through this bar, thereby increasing his connections, influence and broadening his business territory.

Kerr steps down as men's basketball coach

Today, according to ESPN's Shams report, Warriors coach Steve Kerr has applied to the US men's basketball team to officially step down as coach and has been approved. Heat coach Spoelstra will become the new coach of the US men's basketball team, leading the team to participate in the 2027 World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Previously, Cole served as the assistant coach of the US men's basketball team and participated in the 2019 World Cup (7th) and the 2021 Tokyo Olympics (gold medal); then Popovich resigned as coach and Cole became the new coach, leading the team to achieve good results in the 2023 World Cup (4th) and the 2024 Paris Olympic gold medal.

So why does Cole step down as head coach of the US men's basketball team at this juncture? The author believes that there are two reasons, namely: 1. As he gets older and suffers more injuries, Cole no longer has much energy to serve as a coach, and he has said more than once that he wants to spend more time with his family; 2. In the next Olympics, superstars like Curry, James, and Durant are likely not to participate due to their age. By then, the US men's basketball team will lack a backbone and its overall strength will be greatly affected. Once the coaching record is poor, Cole will face overwhelming accusations and criticism. Therefore, it is a wise move for Cole to step back and resign voluntarily.

Second Ranking Prediction

Today, ESPN's expert team predicted the top ten teams in the Western Conference. The results showed that the defending champion Thunder topped the list, and the Warriors unexpectedly ranked second. The specific ranking is: 1. Thunder, 2. Warriors, 3. Nuggets, 4. Clippers, 5. Nuggets, 6. Lakers, 7. Grizzlies, 8. Timberwolves, 9. Mavericks, 10. Kings. In the regular season last season, the Warriors ranked seventh. They defeated the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs, but lost to the Timberwolves in the second round. This year's offseason saw a lot of personnel changes for the Warriors. Looney, Spencer and others left the team; they signed Horford, Melton and Curry Jr.

Netizens at home and abroad have had heated discussions about the ranking of the Warriors. Some people said: "It's simply funny. The Warriors' core trio of Curry, Butler, and Green are one year older, and the team as a whole is too old and has potential injuries. How can it be ranked so high?" Some people said: "Never underestimate the heart of a champion. With the four-time championship team Curry, Cole, Green and the big-hearted player Butler, the Warriors are destined to not be bad. In addition, the Warriors have made targeted reinforcements this summer, ranking second is not impossible." So what do you think about this?
