BOSTON (AP) — He hit a championship-winning shot with Michael Jordan. He calls the shots for Stephen Curry. From clutch to coach, Steve Kerr has done it all ...

A second-round pick in the 1988 draft, he started only 30 games in his career. “I mean, Steve has had such an incredible, unique career, from player to coach, GM. He just knows how to jell talent together,” Thompson said. Kerr hasn’t won quite like Bill Russell, the Celtics Hall of Fame center who pocketed 11 rings as a player. Now back in Boston, the winning Warrior is a victory away from a ninth NBA championship. Talent may take a team to the top, but staying there — and then getting back again after being knocked down — demands more than that. From clutch to coach, Steve Kerr has done it all for some of basketball’s biggest winners.

The Golden State Warriors will be taking in the evening to have some royal celebrations after clinching yet another NBA Championship.

Curry is the franchise cornerstone for the Warriors like how Duncan was for the Spurs. He didn't end up winning all the Finals MVPs either. But Steph ultimately is why this run has happened, much like Timmy in San Antonio." While players like Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson have secured their 4th championship ring, Steve Kerr secured his 9th after having won 5 as a player.

David Aldridge: Asked if Steph Curry was missing something before winning Finals MVP, Steve Kerr said, “what he's missing is an Olympic gold medal.

Steve Kerr, a former teammate of all-time NBA great Michael Jordan, now has nine championship rings, five as a player and four as a coach.

I have yet to see a team that wasn't elite defensively win a championship," Kerr concluded. "This might be the most unlikely one [title] just from a standpoint where we have been the last couple of years," Kerr said. "What he does at his size is so different from the traditional greats in this league. The Celtics had the best defense in the league but we were right behind them. I think what made this group really special, besides the obvious with Steph, was the defensive intensity and versatility. He led the Golden State Warriors to the 4th title in 8 years with a Game 6 road victory on Thursday, 103-90.

The Warriors are in their fourth NBA Finals under coach Steve Kerr. That's not by coincidence.

He's just in these moments, that gives us so much confidence, when you walk in the huddle and when you walk into a team meeting and when you walk on the bus and he's just carrying himself with the confidence that he has, you feel invincible. “And his confidence in knowing we'll figure this out and we'll go make some adjustments and we're going to put you in the best position that we can to be successful, and just never being rattled,” Green added. That's a huge thing in our growth … you have coaches that give players confidence and you have coaches that don't, and I think he has really grown in that area where he just gives guys confidence and that's huge.” “I think it's been a huge part to our run and I think one of my favorite things that he brings to the table, he's a guy that knows what he doesn't know. “That's one of the best traits you can possess in this world, is being smart enough to know what you don't know and Steve is absolutely incredible at that. And not that he didn't always trust his coaching staff because he has and it's always been an open-door policy since the day he's walked in here, but on a day-to-day basis, you can just see how he's delegated.

Warriors director of sports medicine and performance Rick Celebrini has played a crucial role behind the scenes in the franchise's latest NBA Finals run.

The Golden State Warriors were able to win their fourth title in eight years on Thursday after they knocked off the Boston Celtics in Game 6 on the road.

Steve Kerr and Andre Iguodala kept saying the Warriors had to win the championship "for" Steph Curry. Kerr praised Curry's humility and leadership, ...

Curry was emotional for several moments after the game, celebrating passionately with teammates, coaches, and family. "Especially after what we've been through the last couple of years. Curry also won Finals MVP for the first time. He has that kind of humility and confidence all wrapped up into one, it makes everyone in that locker room all want to fight for him. "Which is ironic because he's the one doing it for us. After Game 6, Kerr was asked by ESPN's Scott Van Pelt about Curry breaking down in tears as the Warriors won the championship.

Steve Kerr won five championship rings during his playing career and has led the Golden State Warriors to four NBA titles in eight seasons.

A second-round pick in the 1988 draft, he started only 30 games in his career. He was also the only person of whom that was true when the number stood at three. Kerr hasn't won quite like Bill Russell, the Celtics Hall of Fame center who pocketed 11 rings as a player. The Warriors then had the worst record in the NBA two seasons ago before getting beaten in the Play-In game last season. And this was the most remarkable success of them all. Now back in Boston, the winning Warrior is celebrating a ninth NBA championship.

Cela a transformé ma vision du monde, la façon dont j’allais l’appréhender, nourri par bien des désillusions », confiera-t-il à NBC. Pour comprendre cette bataille livrée par Kerr, également en première ligne contre le racisme et la brutalité policière, il faut remonter au 18 janvier 1984.

Now back in Boston, the winning Warrior is celebrating a ninth NBA championship.

Any team that can claim to be a dynasty across the last 30 years of the NBA has some link to Golden State's coach.

A second-round pick in the 1988 draft, he started only 30 games in his career. These Warriors needed that steadiness more than during their run of three titles in four years from 2015-18. Curry may be considered the greatest outside shooter ever, but it’s Kerr whose 45.4% career mark from 3-point range is tops in NBA history. Kerr hasn’t won quite like Bill Russell, the Celtics Hall of Fame center who pocketed 11 rings as a player. “I mean, Steve has had such an incredible, unique career, from player to coach, GM. He just knows how to jell talent together,” Thompson said. Back in Boston, the winning Warriors brought Kerr his ninth NBA championship on Thursday night with a 103-90 final score in Game 6.

From clutch to coach, Steve Kerr has done it all for some of basketball’s biggest winners. There’s more to it than that, of course. He won five titles in uniform with Chicago and San Antonio. Add in three as Golden State’s boss on the bench, and he is the first person in NBA history to win at least three championships as a player and a coach. By 1987, they were ranked No. 1 in nation.

San Antonio Spurs fans mostly remember Steve Kerr for his Game 6 in the 2003 Western ...

By the nine-minute mark, Manu Ginobili had committed three personal fouls in the quarter as the New Jersey Nets cut the deficit to six. In a situation that was common all throughout that season, Steve Kerr had received extremely limited playing time in the NBA Finals, having not played in Games 1 and 3 and getting just one minute and nine seconds across Games 2 and 4. While the sharpshooting point guard didn't have a huge role in terms of playing time in San Antonio's first two titles, he undoubtedly had a massive impact on them claiming their second one in 2003.

NBA Finals 2022: Steve Kerr now has nine NBA Championship rings — five as a player and four as a head coach. His performance against the Boston Celtics ...

Boston was stuck in no man’s land, and the Warriors claimed the title. Kerr played Payton 46 minutes — a top-five number among all Warriors in the final two games of the Finals — and Payton had 21 points, eight rebounds, a block and six steals. Kerr also staggered Kevon Looney and Green more in Games 5 and 6 — their minutes on the court together were limited. He gives his players confidence, and he puts his players in position to succeed. The basic tactics were on point for both teams from the opening tip of Game 1 in San Francisco. Then Kerr couldn’t find him big minutes in Games 3 and 4. Can they go on another run of NBA Finals appearances? It was a risky but necessary move. Someone who could adapt to any situation and deploy his players in the perfect way. “The way he challenges his players but supports them, it’s amazing. And it manifested in his benching of Draymond Green for a period of the fourth quarter of that game last week in Boston. They needed a tactical master.

With or without an NBA Finals MVP award, Steve Kerr believes Steph Curry's legendary legacy is solidified. But one more accolade wouldn't hurt, right?

Warriors coach Steve Kerr admits that he's nursing a hangover after a wild night of partying to celebrate their title win.

Steve Kerr absolutely deserves a night of partying after what was an incredible season for the Warriors. Looks like he forgot to hydrate on H2O, though, and he’s now nursing a major hangover. Right after getting off the team plane as they arrived in San Francisco, a jovial Steve Kerr spoke to the press. Steve Kerr just added to his trophy cabinet on Thursday night after leading the Golden State Warriors to their fourth title in eight years.

On Friday, Steve Kerr had a funny and honest response when asked what winning the NBA Finals has been like for the Warriors.

Celebrating an NBA Finals win is nothing new to Kerr, who now has nine championships during his career as both a player and coach. With Klay Thompson tearing his ACL during the NBA Finals in 2019 (and later his Achilles) and Steph Curry missing most of the 2019-2020 season after hand surgery, the Warriors weren’t a lock to win another ring. The Warriors had the worst record in the Western Conference (15-50) during the 2019-2020 season, and failed to make it past the postseason play-in games the following season.

With the Warriors beating the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, Kerr claimed his ninth title as both a player and coach. As expected ...
