Steve Kerr is an American basketball coach and former professional basketball player. He made his name in the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s by playing for different teams, such as the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Chicago Bulls. He also has a flourishing NBA coaching career at the Golden State Warriors. What is Steve Kerr’s net worth?
Team USA is headed to the gold medal game of the Paris Olympics men’s basketball tournament following a thrilling 95-91 win over Serbia. Stephen Curry scored 36 points, LeBron James had a triple-double and Joel Embiid came up big down the stretch against Nikola Jokic.
Steve Kerr relied heavily on the starters and Kevin Durant off the bench with Tyrese Haliburton and Jayson Tatum never taking off their warmups. While everyone is fine with Haliburton, a two-time All-Star and member of the All-NBA third team in 2024, not playing, many people have an issue with Tatum’s lack of playing time, including his mother.
Despite the victory, coach Steve Kerr again had to answer for his rotational crimes on Friday. So why isn’t Jayson Tatum playing? Blame math.
Every Olympics a couple great American basketball players have to be the odd-men out on Team USA. This year it’s Haliburton and Tatum.
What makes Tatum unique is that this comes so soon after winning a legacy-solidifying NBA championship. Tatum has done it all on the court. He’s a perennial All-Star. He’s a first team All-NBA player. He’s a champion. He’s about to win his second Olympic medal.
And this is the conversation about him during the offseason.
