Steve Kerr (born September 27, 1965, Beirut, Lebanon) American basketball player and coach who was a prominent guard in the NBA, winning championships with the Chicago Bulls (1996–98) and San Antonio Spurs (1999 and 2003). As a coach, he led the Golden State Warriors to four titles (2015, 2017–18, and 2022).
Kerr was born in Lebanon to American educators Malcolm H. Kerr and Ann Kerr (née Zwicker), both of whom specialized in Middle Eastern studies. The family moved to California when Steve Kerr was young, though his father’s work often meant that they lived in the Middle East for various stretches of time. In 1982, while Kerr was in high school, his father became president of the American University of Beirut. At the time, Lebanon was in the midst of a civil war, and only Malcolm Kerr moved to Beirut. A summer visit in 1983 ended with a chaotic departure after the local airport was bombed; Steve Kerr was ultimately driven out of the country. In January 1984 his father was fatally shot outside his office; Islamic militants claimed responsibility for the assassination.

Basketball Player Nicknames
Steve Kerr grew up playing sports, and he was especially interested in basketball. Not heavily recruited, he enrolled at the University of Arizona in 1983 and was a member of its basketball team. He became a standout point guard, especially known for his three-pointers, and was a team leader. After suffering a knee injury during the World Basketball Championships, Kerr was forced to miss the 1986–87 collegiate season. Although there was concern that his playing career was over, he returned the following season. As a senior in 1988, he guided Arizona to the semifinals at the NCAA tournament. Kerr finished his collegiate career with the single-season record for three-point shooting percentage (.573). He graduated with a Bachelor of General Studies degree later that year.
In the 1988 NBA draft, Kerr was selected in the second round by the Phoenix Suns. However, he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1989 and to the Orlando Magic in 1992. The following year he joined the Chicago Bulls, and it was there that Kerr excelled. He went on to become an integral member of an all-star roster that was led by Michael Jordan. In the 1995–96 season the Bulls finished the regular season with an unprecedented record of 72–10 and went on to win the NBA title. The team also won the championship the next three seasons, and Kerr’s play was especially notable in game six of the 1997 finals, where his buzzer-beater helped the Bulls capture another title. After the 1997–98 season, Jordan retired, causing a number of players to leave the Bulls.
In January 1999 Kerr joined the San Antonio Spurs, and later that year he helped the franchise win its first NBA title. He joined the Portland Trail Blazers for the 2000–01 season, after which he returned to San Antonio. In 2003 he won his fifth NBA championship. Kerr subsequently retired, having played 15 seasons in the league. At that time he held the NBA record for career three-point shooting percentage (.454).
Kerr initially worked as a TV analyst. However, in 2004 he joined the front office of the Phoenix Suns, and three years later he became the team’s general manager. He left the franchise after the team’s season ended in 2010.
