Thursday night was another successful outing for the Golden State Warriors. They continued to build on this dominant stretch of winning, pulverizing the Sacramento Kings with a commanding 130-104 win. After the game was over, Draymond Green made sure no one forgot how lucky the Warriors were to have Steve Kerr on the sidelines.
The pair of Warriors legends have been directly involved in four championship in the Bay Area. Kerr has been the guiding hand that has allowed a number of players to thrive during their time with Golden State.
Green was asked about Kerr at the postgame press conference. Simply put, the Warriors forward told everyone the following, with regard to his head coach: "He changed everything."
Of course, being who he is, Green had a lengthy response relating to how Kerr has impacted winning with the organization.
**"He's been as important as anybody, [with] what this organization has become. ... Just his temperament, what he brought, the offense that he brought to this organization. The atmosphere that he brought to this organization, like the family atmosphere, that was Steve, bringing that. ...
You can bring your kid to work, knowing that you've missed things, that helps. Bringing your family on a plane, you talk to some teams around, they ain't doing that, [and] that's insane. He brought that culture to this team. All of that is a part of what you've seen, the success you've seen. ...
Just having those little things that impact your mood, that impact winning, that no one else sees, I think those things are more special than anything."**

Kerr tied Al Attles for the most wins as a head coach in franchise history on Thursday night. That record should be in his sole possession within no time if his players like Green continue to feed on the culture that has been created in Golden State by their coach.
