In the last two episodes of The Last Dance, a classic clip of Steve Kerr roasting Michael Jordan was shown. During the championship parade, Kerr went on stage and explained what really happened in the timeout before he hit the game-winning shot in Game 6 that sealed the title for them.

And for the past few years, he has led the Golden State Warriors to three titles in five attempts. Indeed, Kerr has been living a great life.
