Steve Kerr just joined the NBA’s most exclusive coaching fraternity, and nobody’s talking enough about it. The Warriors’ mastermind notched his 100th playoff victory Sunday against Houston, becoming just the second-fastest coach to reach that milestone, trailing only the legendary Phil Jackson.
In an era where coaches get tossed aside like yesterday’s box scores, Kerr’s staying power has been nothing short of remarkable. While the Memphis Grizzlies just fired Taylor Jenkins with nine games left before the playoffs (seriously, who does that?), and the Phoenix Suns just axed Mike Budenholzer after ONE season despite their $400 million payroll, Kerr keeps stacking wins with the calm demeanor of a zen master who’s seen it all.
