Steve Kerr, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry talk about capturing the gold medal in men’s basketball at the Olympics in Paris.
After many games against the NBA’s all-time leading scorer throughout the years, Steve Kerr was finally able to enjoy the benefits of having LeBron James on his team.
At the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and a host of other NBA stars led a loaded Team USA team. Kerr had the privilege of coaching one.
After Team USA defeated France 98-87 on Saturday at Bercy Arena in Paris to win the gold medal, Kerr was questioned by reporters regarding his time mentoring James.
“LeBron, what a blessing to coach him finally after all these years of coaching against him and trying to figure out how to beat him,” remarked Kerr. “I’ve been saying for the past several weeks that I want to observe him up close to see how professional and approachable he is, as well as how great he is in every way. He seemed to have mastered every aspect of the game. I’ve had the pleasure of coaching him for the past six weeks, and I will always be a LeBron fan.”
Kerr’s newfound love for LeBron James won’t last long because the Warriors kick off the 2024–25 NBA season on October 23 or 24. Then, when Golden State plays the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference, James will be back to being a pain in the side.
However, Kerr is currently savoring the shared experience with a longstanding foe.
