Thrilling.
Drawing upon Scott Howard-Cooper\'s years covering Warriors, deep archival research, and original interviews with more than one hundred of the central characters in Kerr\'s life, this is basketball biography at its finest.
Steve Kerr is his incredible story, offering insights into the man and what it takes to be--and make--a champion.
The only coach other than Red Auerbach to lead a team to the Finals five consecutive seasons, Kerr seems destined for the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Forged by the crucible of this family saga, Steve went on to chart an unparalleled Life in basketball, on the court and on the sidelines.
His father, Malcolm, then the president of the American University of Beirut, was assassinated in Lebanon by terrorists.
Then, during his freshman season at Arizona, tragedy struck.
Though he was an impressive shooter, the undersized Kerr garnered almost no attention from major college programs, managing only at the last moment to snag the final scholarship at the University of Arizona.
He was born in Beirut to two academics and split his childhood between California and the Middle East.
Kerr did not follow a traditional path to the NBA.
Perhaps no other figure in basketball history has had a hand in such greatness.
In Steve Kerr, award-winning sports journalist Scott Howard-cooper uncovers the fascinating Life story of a basketball legend.
He was an integral part of two famed NBA dynasties.
He played alongside the best players of a generation, from Michael Jordan to Shaquille O\'Neal to Tim Duncan, and learned the craft of basketball under four legendary coaches.
He has won eight NBA titles--five as a player and three as a coach--for three different franchises.
