Steve Kerr on Kevon Looney: 'Loon is one of the best centers in the league'

Madeline Kenney: Steve Kerr on Kevon Looney: "I think Loon is one of the best centers in the league, I really do. And people don't recognzie it becasue he's not dunking and shooting 3s and all that stuff. This guy is a flat-out winner and he's a machine. We wouldn't be here without him.

So often we see Kevon Looney as a feel-good story who has proved doubters wrong.
It’s time to face the facts: He’s one of the best centers in all of basketball nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 10:26 PM

LeBron James is about to face Stephen Curry in the postseason for the sixth time.
James has had four coaches in that span: David Blatt (2015 Finals), Ty Lue (2016-18 Finals), Frank Vogel (2021 play-in) and Darvin Ham (2023 second round).
Curry has only ever had Steve Kerr. – 10:09 PM

The list of players with more than 20 rebounds in a true road game in a Game 7.
Kevon Looney.
Dave Cowens.
Wilt Chamberlain.
Bill Russell.
Elgin Baylor.
Steph Curry is rightfully going to get the lions share of love but the Warriors don’t win that game without Looney. – 7:53 PM
Micah Adams @MAdamsStatGuy
Steph Curry just did THAT in a game in which his best teammate was Kevon Looney.
Not Pippen.
Not Kyrie.
Not Kareem.
Not McHale.
Not Shaq.
Not Baylor.
Kevon. Looney.
Maybe THE all-time “get on my back” playoff performance. – 7:35 PM

Steve Kerr when asked by my friend @CAlvarezABC7 what a key is to beating the Lakers on Tuesday:

Steve Kerr on Kevon Looney: “I think Loon is one of the best centers in the league, I really do.

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Klay Thompson: “I was 4-for-19, which is disgusting. But a +30. I’ll take that.” Steve Kerr credited Klay for a what he called a huge defensive performance despite a bad shooting night. – 6:50 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Steve Kerr: “We’re whole now. This is an excellent defensive team, and it’s an excellent road team. Forget all the stuff that happened earlier.” – 6:46 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Steve Kerr says today’s Steph Curry performance reminded him of the days he played with Michael Jordan. “You just have to remind yourself, this is one of the great players to ever play the game.”

A lot of mutual respect and love between the Kings and Warriors following Game 7. Steve Kerr and Mike Brown, Stephen Curry and De’Aaron Fox and a long embrace from Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green. pic.twitter.com/Se2Q8u23uI – 6:36 PM

Steve Kerr opens his postgame presser by congratulating Sacramento and Mike Brown for their season. “They’ve had, frankly, a much better season than we have. We’ve kind of been up and down all year… and they put together a whole season where they just became a contender.” – 6:34 PM

Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
Great season for the Kings but watching the Warriors ignore Domantas Sabonis on the perimeter and limit him inside while Kevon Looney bullied him on the boards has to raise questions. Was this an issue unique to GSW matchup? Does he need an enforcer next to him? A lot to resolve. – 6:13 PM

Take a bow, Kevon Looney. What an incredible series for him and the most impactful Warrior tonight not named Steph. – 6:06 PM

Kevon Looney has 20 rebounds for the third time in this series. #dubnation5:50 PM
John Ireland @LAIreland
You might have to go back to Dennis Rodman or Moses Malone to find a game where ONE guy is dominating the rebounds like Kevon Looney is today. He’s been as valuable as Curry in this game. – 5:49 PM
Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Another 20 rebounds for Kevon Looney
The legend continues – 5:48 PM

David Locke @DLocke09
Steve Kerr doesn’t get enough credit for how great some of their plays sets are. End of quarter. Knew they were going to double Steph. So runs Steph off Draymond pick, they double. Draymond goes and picks for Klay. No one to help because Draymond’s man is doubling Steph – 5:43 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Lol Steve Kerr tried to sub Jordan Poole out real quick. Referees said no. – 5:33 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
I knew when Kevon Looney reportedly signed a three-year, $25.5M contract last summer that it was a deal, but it’s crazy he’s the 39th highest paid center in the NBA per ABC. The league’s offensive rebounds leader who hasn’t missed a game in 2 seasons. Build the statue #dubnation5:32 PM
Howard Chen @TheHoChen
Big fan of players like Kevon Looney who embrace their roles and hustle so hard to do the little things that make all the winning difference – 5:29 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
The margin on the boards has been such a defining factor in this series. And right now, the Warriors have 12 offensive boards in the third quarter alone, 15-8 advantage overall.
Kevon Looney has 18 rebounds, eight on the offensive glass. GSW has 15 2nd-chance points to SAC’s 8. – 5:28 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Did I hear correctly that the broadcasters just said that Kevon Looney is the 29th highest paid center in the NBA?! The Warriors and #dubnation better appreciate what they got, Loon may not be flashy but he’s effective, durable and certainly deserving of a bag 🥺🥺🥺 – 5:26 PM

Kevon Looney out there looking like Dennis Rodman on the glass! – 5:25 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Kevon Looney is making $8 million this season. Not even mid-level money. Nobody could’ve stolen him for the mid-level? How do we live in a world in which Kevon Looney makes 20% as much as Kristaps Porzingis? – 5:25 PM
Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
Kevon Looney is absolutely having his way with the Kings 🤯 #NBAPlayoffs5:25 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
That’s now 12 third quarter offensive rebounds for the Warriors, seven of them from Kevon Looney. Still 4:44 left in the quarter. Looney is up to 18 total rebounds in 22 minutes. Again. – 5:24 PM
