Warriors head coach Steve Kerr thinks the NBA is a 'copycat' league

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has labelled NBA as a 'copycat league'. In an interview before the Warriors game against the San Antonio Spurs, Kerr opened up about his thoughts on the league to American media. According to Kerr, the NBA is 'homogenised'. He thinks that there is a pattern everybody follows because it is very difficult to guard. There are a lot of young players who learnt to shoot early, along with a lot of floor spacing and downhill pick-and-rolls, as per Steve Kerr. Kerr added that the NBA has always been a copycat league when it comes to the current trend. However, he does not think it is going to continue.
