NBA officially announced that Warriors coach Steve Cole led the team to the first record of 73 wins and 9 losses in history and became the best coach this season. Then the problem is coming. Do you know how great Cole is?
Cordao was a sharpshooter when he was a player. He once won a three-point match at 1997. It is worth mentioning that Cole, whose height is 185cm, is the shortest three-point king in NBA history. At the same time, Cole has the highest career three-point shooting percentage in NBA history, with a career three-point shooting percentage of 0.459( 1475 shots and 677 hits).
Curry participated in the All-Star Three-Point Match on 20 10, 20 13 and 20 14 three times, but failed to win the championship. In Cole's first season in charge, Curry was crowned the champion of the three-point match as he wished, and Thompson, another member of the Splash Brothers, also won the all-star three-point match this year, which is not unrelated to the generosity of the legendary shooter.
190 shooter! A very high standard to measure the shooter's sight is called "180 club", that is, the shooting percentage exceeds 50%, the shooting percentage of three-pointers exceeds 40%, and the shooting percentage of free throws exceeds 90%. 180 club requires all three hit rates to reach the standard, not the simple addition of the three hit rates. 1995-96 season, Cole shot 50.6% from two points, 5 1.5% from three points and 92.9% from free throws! !
There are many excellent role players in the Bull Dynasty, but I'm afraid Cole is the only one who dares to play Jordan. In a team training, Jordan happened to play against Cole, and the confrontation was very fierce. At first, the two sides just swore at each other, but soon the conflict heated up. "Some of what he said upset me, so I responded a few words. Then he hit me in the chest with his arm and I gave him a push. So the teammates came up and pulled him away. " Cole said. Cole had bruises around his eyes. Before being completely pulled away by his teammates, he "retaliated" Jordan with several punches.
Cole joined Jordan in the sixth game of the 1997 finals to seal his throat, helping Jordan Pippen to create his second consecutive championship.
1998- 1999 season, Cole switched to the Spurs and won the championship with the team. The Spurs' playoff record in that year was 15-2, which was the best record in NBA history until it was refreshed by the Lakers with 15- 1. Since the Celtics won eight consecutive championships, only Steve Cole has won four consecutive championships in the NBA.
Cole is the first rookie coach to win the championship in 33 years. Cole won five championships in his career as a player, and also won the championship after becoming a coach. There are only four people in nba history.
