Steve Kerr’s father was murdered by two gunmen in 1984. “Kerr rarely speaks publicly—or even to his players—about the death of his father (making his comments in The Last Dance especially rare), but he gave a wide-ranging interview to The New York Times in 2016 about the Warriors, politics, and the impact the tragedy had on his life. As Kerr and his mother, Ann, mentioned in The Last Dance, it was his father’s death that pushed him to triple-down on his basketball career, finding therapy on the floor. Decades later, as Kerr talks about in the Times interview, it made him into the patient, wise coach we know him as today.”
