Now, Kerr is comfortable with his approach to coaching Thompson. “You really just wind him up and let him go,” Kerr said. “He’s just a machine. He’s such an incredible two-way player. He never seems to get tired. He’s one of the most unbelievably conditioned athletes I’ve ever been around. “When you think about what we ask him to do, generally guard the ball, guard the other team’s best player, whether it’s James Harden, or Chris Paul, or whoever. And then if there’s a screen, switch onto the big guy, go guard the big guy on the block. And then, at the other end, run around like crazy, like Reggie Miller all day and shoot 25-footers, and then do that for like 38 minutes just constantly.”
