“I received a phone call in the middle of the night from a family friend,” Steve Kerr tells The Last Dance, a Netflix documentary which recounts the compelling story of his legendary Chicago Bulls team during the 1990s.
Kerr is remembering 19 January 1984, and the moment he found out his father had been assassinated in a targeted terrorist attack in Lebanon. The 18-year-old was attending the University of Arizona at the time while his father was working as president of the American University of Beirut. Malcolm Kerr, whose predecessor had been kidnapped six months earlier, was shot in the back of the head by Shia militia in the hallway outside his office.
