Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Kerr

In this double-shot episode of On The Ball with Ric Bucher, Ric takes on two of the NBA's most emotionally charged debates: Is Steve Kerr really holding the Golden State Warriors back — and why has championship-or-bust become the only standard by which star players are judged?With Warriors fans calling for Steve Kerr's firing, Ric breaks down why blaming the coach misses the bigger picture. From lineup decisions and player development to defensive priorities and roster limitations, Ric explains why Kerr's approach hasn't suddenly changed — and why it's the same formula that delivered four championships and six Finals appearances.Ric also addresses criticism from former players like Brandon Jennings and Rashad McCants, the viral fallout from Joe Lacob's leaked email, and the unrealistic expectations surrounding Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, and the Warriors' “play the kids” movement. Most importantly, he asks the question few want to confront: Is this really about Steve Kerr — or is it about accepting that the dynasty era is over?In the second half of the episode, Ric zooms out to challenge the modern NBA narrative that a superstar must contend for a title every year or demand a trade. Using Giannis Antetokounmpo, Steph Curry, and historical context, Ric makes the case that loyalty, legacy, and community impact still matter — and that greatness shouldn't be reduced to ring-counting alone.Thoughtful, unsparing, and deeply informed — this episode is a must-listen for Warriors fans and NBA truth-seekers alike.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.
