Well-deserved for Kerr, who has been at the helm during the dynasty years. The former sharpshooter was hired by the Dubs in 2014 to replace Mark Jackson and quickly rose to prominence, leading Golden State to win a title in his first season as coach. The Warriors posted a 67-15 record, one of the best in league history, eventually beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.
Steve Kerr guided the Californians to two consecutive titles, in 2016-17 and 2017-18, before also winning the last award in 2021-22. Even if the Dubs are struggling in 2023-24, there is no doubt that Kerr is the right man for the job. His Bay Area resume says it all.
