Over a decade ago, Steve Kerr faced an enormous decision when he had to choose between becoming the head coach of the New York Knicks or Golden State Warriors. Kerr was a leading candidate for the Knicks' opening, and would be joining a franchise that recently hired his former coach, Phil Jackson, as an executive. He then emerged as a top choice for the Warriors' vacancy after they fired Mark Jackson, and Kerr ultimately decided to join the Warriors.
