Kerr shared about how his teammates praised him for turning in a great practice by going into the mindset of being Jeff Hornacek for the day. He hilariously admitted how pathetic he felt afterwards for having to act like someone else just to bring out the best in him.
Kerr and Hornacek had pretty similar skill sets. However, as the 3-time champion coach mentioned, Hornacek was much more skilled than he and became an All-Star in his prime. Nonetheless, like Hornacek, Kerr was also a deadly sniper from beyond the arc. His title-clinching over Hornacek's Utah Jazz became the defining moment of his career.
Steve Kerr turned in a pretty solid career as a role player. He finished his playing career with five NBA championships and added three more as coach of the Warriors. He also currently holds the record for the best 3-point percentage in NBA history.
