Steve Kerr's initial success as a head coach in the NBA has been unrivaled to the point where some have questioned how much credit he deserves.

However, the Warriors were eliminated from the first round of the playoffs in the season prior to his arrival, and Kerr himself made the huge call to install Draymond Green into his starting lineup. Kerr also installed the uptempo system that he had learned from working with D'Antoni, and Steph Curry and Klay Thompson quickly transformed into the best backcourt of the modern era.

Kerr's ability to incorporate Kevin Durant into his system back in 2016 didn't result in the deserved acknowledgement, and he also warrants much praise for leading an injury-hit Warriors to the 2019 NBA Finals.

Nevertheless, with Curry, Thompson, and Green locked in for the long haul, Kerr has a chance to further establish his reputation as one of the NBA's best coaches.
