The N.B.A. Legend Steve Kerr

Про цей епізод

<p>Most basketball fans first took note of Steve Kerr when he played for the Chicago Bulls in the nineteen-nineties, but it’s through coaching that Kerr really came to the fore in the N.B.A. For more than twelve years, he’s led the Golden State Warriors to four titles, and a record seventy-three-win season, in 2016. He also took home an Olympic gold medal as the coach of the U.S. men’s team in 2024. Kerr has used his platform, at times, to wade into politics. He’s spoken at the Democratic National Convention, and his name comes up in conversations about candidates for higher office. He’s also been vocal about President Donald Trump, which is not without some risk. “Calling the President a buffoon? I kind of regret that, even though I felt it in my heart, even though a lot of people agreed with me,” Kerr tells the staff writer <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/charles-bethea" rel="noopener noreferrer">Charles Bethea</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Further reading: </p> <ul> <li>“<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-new-yorker-interview/has-steve-kerr-had-enough#rid=d45238f4-9740-4a57-99e8-700ed8572648&q=steve+kerr" rel="noopener noreferrer">Has Steve Kerr Had Enough?</a>,” by Charles Bethea</li> <li>“<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/sports/sporting-scene/usa-basketball-is-still-an-awkward-fit-at-the-olympics#rid=d45238f4-9740-4a57-99e8-700ed8572648&q=steve+kerr" rel="noopener noreferrer">U.S.A.
