In May 2014, during a layover in Oklahoma City, Steve Kerr seized an opportunity to transform his career. Invited by Warriors' executives for a meeting, he presented a detailed vision for the team's culture and strategies, which ultimately led to his hiring as head coach. His rejection of a coaching position with the Knicks, influenced by mentor Phil Jackson, marked a crucial decision that aligned him with a team poised for success. Reflecting on his tenure, Kerr's strategies have led to four championships and significant impact on the franchise.
In a matter of days, Kerr sat down with Warriors' executives at an airport hangar, pitching a vision for a new team culture.
The biggest sliding doors moment for Kerr was turning down Phil Jackson in New York, agreeing in principle to coach the Knicks.
