Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has set an impossible standard during his tenure with the franchise. He won three championships and made five NBA Finals appearances during his first five seasons at the helm, and added another title in 2022.
Now in his 12th season with the Warriors, Kerr is getting back to the basics of what made his teams special with a new-look roster and three disappointing seasons in the rearview.
Golden State hasn't made it past the second round of the playoffs since it won its most recent championship in 2022. A pair of second-round exits in a three-year span would be a solid result for most franchises, but the Warriors are the epitome of an outlier.
