Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has reached five NBA Finals and won three championships with the team, but president of basketball operations Bob Myers acknowledged former head coach Mark Jackson helped lay the groundwork for the success.

During an interview with Rich Kleiman, Myers said Jackson "deserves a lot of credit" for helping Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson reach the level they have as one of the best backcourt duos in league history (near the 17:30 mark).

Myers also pointed out Kerr has credited Jackson in the past.
