Kyle Korver and Quin Snyder bonded, quickly and deeply, during their lone season together with the Atlanta Hawks. Korver, a dead-eye wing, loved the painstaking process of perfecting his shooting form. And Snyder, wide-eyed and hopped on coffee, was always looking for ways to help Korver grow.
“Every morning he had some new idea, some new thought,” Korver said. “It’s really easy in basketball—it’s easy in life—to stay in your wheelhouse. He just has a mind that’s constantly trying to find what’s next. How can we do something different?”
Those are lessons that have stayed with Korver, and they are lessons that he takes with him now, as he reunites with Snyder in Utah.
