Steve Kerr stresses differences between Jordan, Curry

In the face of never-ending comparisons between Stephen Curry and Michael Jordan, Steve Kerr is doing his part to distinguish his player from his former teammate.

The Golden State Warriors head coach described one main difference between traveling with the reigning league MVP and traveling with the NBA legend - namely, that Curry stays with the team.

"Michael Jordan lived a separate life from us," Kerr told Sports Illustrated in a cover story on the Warriors. "He stayed in his own suites, had his own security people. Steph takes a regular room like everybody else, goes everywhere the rest of the guys do."

Also, as prolific a player as Curry is, "The Baby-Faced Assassin" is much more approachable in comparison to "His Airness," Kerr pointed out.

"Michael intimidated players just by walking on the court," he explained. "Fans, too. Steph walks on the floor, and people are like, 'How old is he? 13?'"
