Steve Kerr Introductory Press Conference

Full Press Release: www.nba.com/warriors/news/kerr...

[@benseverson7820]

This was a brilliant signing for the Warriors. If the Warriors are going to make a run at a title in the next few years, I can't think of anyone better to lead them. In my opinion Mark Jackson is the type of coach you bring in to develop young players and create a mature, winning attitude in the locker room. He did both brilliantly. Steve Kerr is the type of coach you bring in to win championships, he has been everywhere and done everything in the league. He has been a part of a true dynasty, and knows what a team needs to win a championship.

[@nathanwarren6846]

Ben Severson you were right

[@alsevilla9059]

Yup you got it right 6 years ago

[@tracysharp1361]

Yep this was the best pic the Warriors did! now the Warriors have four titles in 8 years! Steve Kerr is definitely a Hall of Fame coach!

[@DannyGoldingTV]

Steve Kerr is right we do have the best fans in the NBA!!!!

[@ChronicKane]

Hahahahaha come to Toronto and see whos actually the best fans.

[@blakeh8935]

+ChronicKane Nope there is a reason we're called Roaracle and why we won a reward for toughest crowd to play in front of

[@elijahdejesus1707]

Going back in this interview, I'm very grateful to have steve kerr and I couldn't be more thankful when we picked kerr💙💛🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@vincenttheo8841]

This is an interview that presents itself as an amazing learning opportunity. 1. The MC and the media were asking challenging and deep questions. Kudos to them, especially in consideration of the quality of the public discourse that we have today. 2. Bob, the GM, sincerely shared the search process and his managerial philosophy for success - thou shall surround yourself with people who have both talent and character. He demonstrated his wisdom, logic, communication abilities, and problem-solving skills. 3. Steve Kerr is hands-down one of the best communicators I've seen and a driven competitor combined with humility. The combination of confidence and humility is rare and is a key to not only establish a selfless culture but also bring in talented staffs. Steve is a true leader, and the fact that he "clicked" with the Warriors on their "first sight" substantiated Joe's statement that the GSW's ownership and front office is "light years ahead." As a side note, the character blend of the Warriors ownership, management, and coaching is amazing. P.S. sorry for using the word "amazing" again... My vocabulary is quite scarce, just like the insightfulness of mainstream economics. I wish I could have seen this interview earlier. Bob and Steve both understand the dialectism and the complexity of people, businesses, and organizations. I hope one day I get to meet Bob and Steve.

Reading comments from some dubs fans now lol. Perfect marriage of coach and great players

[@boy1durrrr]

[@Billiam179]

This comment aged like fine wine.

[@RanchoNomada]

It’s been five great years! Let’s see what Steve puts together on the court this year. Let’s go Dubs!

[@RanchoNomada]

I always come back to this video when I get a promotion at work or just feel like I need a leadership refresher. Both Bob and Kerr are exceptional leaders and give a masterclass in answering media. Sadly based on this video we have 2 more years of this dynasty.

[@anferneegui]

Steve Kerr: "My view is not next year we gonna win 52 games, or we gonna get to the second round. My view is what we gonna do next decade.. " And they won 67 games next season, and championship that year. It's truly remarkable.

[@peterchen9965]

Steve Kerr for President!!!

[@HiddenWen]

I respect his integrity and character. He's a huge role model for me.

[@razkable]

you know what sucks though is kerr failed to win a title at the university of arizona as a player and as the gm of the suns and he got to the final four with both teams ...you can tell he really wanted to win in arizona cause they gave him his first real opportunity and thats where he lives...he came so close and bet it bothers him....he loves arizona and for him it would have been more special to win it there than any of his 6 rings...

[@HiddenWen]

razkable I think you're right that it would've meant a lot, but I think Kerr's life though having lots of big downs has had plenty of ups to make up for it. Though that recent loss to Cleveland is going to sting for a while.

[@captdaniel8829]

Welcome to the squad

[@SleptOn]

He said he's not looking to win 52 games next season? Interesting. Man this guy came up.

[@amirsibboni90]

A new beginning

[@publicitytheory]

Good hire for stability and high-quality coaching and relationships. Much better fit than Jackson, who seemed combative and volatile at times, despite having a great relationship with players. Kerr will build those relationships, too, based on his personality and committal to creating a winning atmosphere. I'm looking forward to the next few years as a Warriors fan (hopefully with a roster including the splash bros locked into long-term deals)

[@letstalksportsnation5144]

You must be an insider. You biting into everything the media is putting out there. They never told the real story. I wonder why? They keep us in circles about what really happened

[@SM-1-6]

Top 15 Coach in history!!

[@alsevilla9059]

June 2021 later: 3 rings; 5 consecutive NBA Finals appearance

[@jdeleon5816]

the rest is history

[@ToaNyroc]

Why is the audio messed up?

[@Ko_kB]

And now he's a 2x champion as a coach

[@nathme9262]

3x now

[@steaminmeats]

3 n 5 finals ina row

[@MikeNolan]

4x

[@rollandmakinano1744]

2022 Warriors won their 4th Championship in 7 years. Coach Kerr now has 9 Championship rings.

[@XDarkSlayer33X1]

Would it be possible for mark Jackson to be an assistant coach for Mr. Kerr?

[@jswishdaman]

I don't think anyone would have ever believed that this team would end up winning the championship after this hire.

[@MrYoumitube]

Joel Swisher I honestly did! Excellent communication skills, years of experience as player winning 5 rings,management broadcaster and schooled by the best coaches in history. Honest good guy but has a competitive firyness when called upon. Team that up with a talented roster..championship materiel.

[@jswishdaman]

MrYoumitube This team was definitely on the rise, and was going to be one of the top teams in the West. Most of the talk was my Spurs, Mavs, Clippers, Thunder, and even the Rockets. But he is an awesome coach and these Warriors are gonna be scary good the next several seasons.

[@razkable]

they got bogut back which in 2014 they didnt have him which is why they lost in the first round...the team was on a up swing regardless cause curry was entering his prime and so was klay and green improved...they got healthy...most teams in 2015 werent...thats why they won....aka bosh in miami kd in okc and kyrie and love in cleveland and conley and gasol in memphis....and the entire rockets team...sometimes luck is needed.... the thunder missed the playoffs cause kd was out...who would have thought the clippers would knock off the spurs at the buzzer of a game 7 and win a road game 6 in san antonio lol...and that they would lose a 3-1 lead vs an injured rockets squad....the clippers might have been able to beat the dubs...also the kyrie injury changed the finals....no kevin love all postseason also hurt the cavs...it wasnt about coaching more so luck....also iggy just played great in games 4-6 of the finals..sometimes its about players just stepping up when the chance presents it self vs a fatigued cavs team that was playing 6 guys...

[@yumbiscottis5966]

Cool

[@ClashsMania]

GSW GSW GSW

[@bulldogselfies1811]

Funny to look back at all of the Warriors fans bitching about this move and calling for management's and Kerr's head before he even coached a damn game... Kerr now be all like "look at me now! look at ME NOW!!!"

[@bchen972]

Omg... Everyone steve will be a good coach. He is why he has played under the two of the greatest coaches in nba history pop and phil. Let me ask what has mark done? I like mark but the biggest problem was not making lee a bench player. They probs would've been 4-5 seed if they started curry, klay, iggy, green/harrison, and bogut. Not to mention kerr has had a lot of time to just analyze basketball from a gm position and as a sports broadcaster. And kerr isn't a dictator. He is a nice laid back type of person. He'll admit when he is wrong. So I can't see why he would lose the lockeroom. Typically guys who lose the respect of players are hardasses who make players feel like they live in cuba.

[@isaiastorres372]

4 rings later

[@lykigos]

steve is a killer

[@MrZzione]

I still think that Mark Jackson did a fantastic job

[@JASWAG013]

yea but we needed to get on the next level to win the championship

[@martincohen2793]

Got Skills or at least become a contender, becaus we really havent been I to yet.

[@louisgomez1035]

LUTE LUTE LUTE BEARDOWN STEVE

[@sfb1982]

This is a good hire, he couldn't be a worse coach than M-Jax.

[@13WildGoose]

Well, technically, he could. There's been worse coaches. Mark Jackson was a very average, maybe even below average offensive coach. But he was an above average defensive coach. There's at least 10 coaches actively in the league that are worse. But yeah, Kerr, will hopefully be better. His assistants will make or break him.

[@hallokity123]

13WildGoose I think it safe to say he is better

[@jeryldispo6981]

Haha knows at that level. Kinda slap to the face of Mark Jackson huh?

[@moetookold]

I finally saw a comment with someone with basketball iQ Mark Jackson was ah great guy don't get me wrong but coach he was no nun but isolations plays den hope that curry would save the day at the end in basketball bu need constant movement and if u watch the game most of the tym players are just standing there waitn for the ball

[@ooeygooeydewey2960]

Don’t mind me…. Just reminiscing.

[@IHazNoNames]

GSW all the way

[@dumplings4mee]

25 million and still cant afford some decent microphones...

[@georgegarcia4214]

Hahah damn.

[@synerglst]

LOL at Mark Jackson saying this team is a championship team after he got fired. This team needs another star to pair up with Curry. David Lee has got to go, he's the weakest link on the team.

[@MrYoumitube]

Lucas Busch Sorry without Bogut you can kiss any playoff aspirations goodbye no matter how dominant Splash bros are. But a healthy Bogut is key along with himself & forwards being aggressive to take away to much dependence on Steph & Klay to score.

[@HiddenWen]

***** Well look what happened.

[@youngcnyce]

The warriors are not yet a championship team on the west. They need a couple more pieces. Mark Jackson was better for the job they just got beat by the better team. Plus the team really cared for & played for Mark. The players played for Mark to keep his job. How do you think that actually settled with them. Steve has rings but was basically just a bench role player.

[@abprepboy33]

if they play a qualiuty offense, they can play with any team int he league. If they rely on isiolation all day- they dont have the pieces to do this one on one.

[@abprepboy33]

The team didnt play hard for mark. Yes, they worked hard the last few games of the playoffs, but one of the biggest problems was a lack of consistent effort through out the regular season. There were atleast a half dozen home games that should have been free ones- where the players just didnt show up at all. LOL did they pick and choose when they wanted to play hard? There were atleast 5-10 games that could have been won this year - and they didnt lose them because a lack of talent.- they lost them just because the other team wanted it a lot more.

[@Tests]

Prynce NY good call prince stupid

[@Flatbush4Life]

Prynce NY 3 Championships later.

[@caduceus2256]

What did you about bench players turned coaches?😂😂😂 4 rings 8 years! Shotgun in the head!

[@thesleepingfist]

Its a new era of players turn coach with only player experience. I wont be too quick to judge since each year the management has made controversial moves every year that only made them better.

[@leequiruz4381]

Bob said, "We're all about winning." And still fired MJ.

[@HermDaSperm]

BigB0ss00 THANK YOU!! none of the casual fans understand this.

[@leequiruz4381]

Yeah I agree with you on MJ being a really bad offensive coach. Steve Kerr is definitely a huge upgrade for us. I was just bringing up the irony behind Bob's quote. Management has made significant changes to the roster that has brought us to the playoffs and with Kerr as HC, we have a big three that will ultimately get along and can possibly make dubs into contenders. Now we just need Kerr to develop into a good HC and develop chemistry with the players.

[@OutNAbout415]

BigB0ss00 thank you.....my friend and I been talkin about this for so long thay jackson cant coach.....i don't know how many game winners we need when we could of just won it straight up

[@PathOfDistrAction]

You gotta get rid of things that won't lead you nowhere in the long run to win. It's dumb to say that since Kerr doesn't have coaching experience I know, but he's won championships and has been coached by the greatest coaches in the NBA. I'll take my chances on Kerr over MJ any day, at least Kerr sounds like he has a plan instead of just preaching and saying "I have confidence in my guys"

[@letstalksportsnation5144]

Huge Contradiction Right? Then, he goes and get somebody who hasnt won a game

[@jackoneill8654]

Joe Lacob? Sitting in the audience!!!!!!! The guy is so cool!!! Sure he has an ego, but he's not an INFANT.

[@cmbp435]

They better resign Jermaine O'neal on a longer contract he was amazing last season defensively and offensively

[@TheVictoryHawk]

A bit of a ball hog when the offense went stale...

[@cmbp435]

He knew what to do when we needed it

[@abprepboy33]

infamiss TheEndingBlow LOL was that to sit out for 3 straight months when we already had our other back up center out for the year?

[@cmbp435]

abprepboy33 Im sorry I almost forgot he was the reason we were good against the clippers the playoffs are all that matter in the end and he was our stability

[@nawnikka]

#dubzallday #LOLakers

[@miguelpatata1956]

lets see how this ends

[@hallokity123]

Miguel Patata I'd say pretty good so far

[@tribalypredisposed]

Four Finals and three Championships in four years, however it ends it sure has started off great.

[@christabellll]

@@hallokity123 I’d agree.

[@letstalksportsnation5144]

Bob Myers did not sell me with this hire. Seems like he was baited by Phil. He called Kerr a winner. What has he won as a head coach? You run the risk of losing your locker room for this?

[@marcusb.3038]

Steve Kerr has won at every level....college: ncaa championship; nba: 5 championship rings.....he was a very good shooter...leads the nba in 3 point field goal shooting percentage. (2 thumbs up)

[@letstalksportsnation5144]

***** Once they start winning? The Warriors fired Mark Jackson to hire Steve Kerr was a lateral move. I thought they were gonna go after somebody with playoff experience. I wouldve even perferred a Lionel Hollins. I wonder why he's not as hot as Kerr? The Grizzles were in the Western Conference finals last year

[@letstalksportsnation5144]

Marcus B. Means what when it comes to being an NBA Head coach? Brian Shaw is cut from the Phil Cloth as well, doesnt mean that he is Phil. Does Kerr deserves a shot? Yeah. But not on our clock, when we are trying to win a championship. 50 wins is NOT good enough

[@binary]

Thank god you are not in charge. Mark Jackson was freaking terrible and Lionel Hollins is not a progressive coach.

[@synerglst]

Letstalksportsnation How is it a lateral move? Mark Jackson has no offensive system. His offense ranked 12th with these talents on the roster. That's pretty pathetic since the team has plenty of good passers and shooters and the only offense that Mark goes for are mismatches and isos. They are ranked #3 in terms of not moving the ball. This is like the anti-Spurs offense. The team needs a top 5 offense to go along with their top 5 defense to have a good chance of winning the championship. Mark was not the guy to move forward.

[@FroYo....]

First

[@THEJOURNEY92]

Kevin love will make us better,ill trade barnes and lee and a couple 2nd rounds they will lose love anyway

[@hallokity123]

THEJOURNEY92 Lmao 😂

[@stever7655]

much better than phony mark jackson

[@razkable]

steve was a gm 5 years ago for 4 years...he understands the relationships in a front office...he isnt gonna be having sexual assault charges and stuff like that...that hurts the brand and thats why mark was fired imo....

[@terrymoore9424]

Is Steve Kerr The Only Chicago Bull, Who has won a Championship? Or Only White Chicago Bull who really didn't play much! BJ Armstrong Played way more than Steve Kerr.............. Besides.. All those Championships Belongs To Jordan & Pippen. Everyone else was along for the Ride. Unreal O~B~E~Y........... O~K~A~Y" So LOL~ING

[@reggmeister23]

I think karma is gonna come back and bite the warriors organization. They really screwed mark jackson. The guy came off back to back playoff runs, won 50+ games this year and lost to a loaded clippers team without Andrew bogut in a hard fought seven game series. Mark jackson is a fantastic coach. Yes, he needs to improve, especially offensively but he's a really good coach and his players laid it all out for him because they loved him. That's half the battle in being a great coach, gaining the respect of your players and having them play their hearts out for you. Mark jackson did that.

[@damomand]

Funny thing about that Karma...

[@Tests]

reggmeister23 always good to look back and see idiots

[@tribalypredisposed]

I hope karma bites me like this sometime. Three championships, a five All-Star starting lineup for next season...

[@Lynnromesa]

Did he got his ring as a head coach? 😆😆

[@caduceus2256]

Bro where's the karma?😂😂😂
