Steve Kerr spent three years of school in Cairo, and now after being gone for more than 35 years, he’s back in the city aiming to connect with young people through basketball.
The Warriors’ head coach is part of the NBA and FIBA Africa’s Basketball Without Borders camp, which included a media event on Sunday. Four other head coaches and four NBA players are with Kerr as they aim to help several dozen boys and girls from the continent pursue their basketball dreams.
“I brought my wife, my daughter, her husband,” Kerr told ESPN. “It’s great to be visiting Egypt again, and doing so while coaching and being a part of BWB made it a perfect trip.”
