Miami Heat: Game Recognizes Game With Coach Spoelstra and Steve Kerr

They have the very thing that has brought them this far and has done so time and time again across his tenure. They have an elite leader.

That would be Miami Heat head coach, Erik Spoelstra. A guy that has never won the NBA COY award, this year might just be his year.

However, he was recently just named the NBA’s Coach Of The Month.

At least he’s getting that respect and though he hasn’t received the highest honor, the league’s annual award for the best head man, he does have the respect of his peers.

While that extends around the league and throughout, there was one recent opinion that really exemplifies the respect that he’s earned. The time, place, and situation of the compliment is as indicative as anything.
