Nick Kerr is an American basketball player and son of Stever Kerr who coaches the NBA team of The Golden State Warriors. Nick’s path is both exciting and fascinating, from his early days playing basketball to his most recent position as the head coach of the Santa Cruz Warriors. Let’s get to know a bit more about him.
Who Is Nick Kerr?
Nick Kerr was born on November 9, 1992 in San Diego, California. His original name is Nicholas Kerr. Nick Kerr is the oldest child of Steve and Margot Kerr. Steve Kerr has three children with his wife of over 30 years: Nick, Madeleine and Matthew.
At the University of Arizona, the couple first connected when they were sophomores. Bruce “Q” Fraser, Kerr’s best friend and current assistant coach, invited Kerr out on a double date with his then-girlfriend and her friend, who later became Kerr’s wife.
While Nick Kerr pursued basketball, his sister Maddy focused on volleyball and rose to the position of team captain for her collegiate squad. She put equal emphasis on academics and athletics, and as a result, she is now a lawyer who just passed the California State Bar.
In 2017, Maddy Kerr graduated from Berkeley with a bachelor’s degree in rhetoric and media studies. She attended Berkeley’s School of Law from 2018 to 2021, according to her LinkedIn, and she graduated in 2021. She then spent a year in Paris and graduated from HEC Paris with an MBA, per her biography.
Matthew Kerr, the younger brother of Nick Kerr, quipped in an interview with the Athletic that “so much of my life has been learning to kind of tune out sports references” because he doesn’t enjoy sports as much as his brothers do. The youngest Kerr studied comedy TV writing and screenplay at USC’s film school.
About Steve Kerr
The NBA will never forget Steve Kerr’s contributions. He has engraved his name in the annals of basketball history with several championships to his credit as a player and a coach. He is also known as one of the most accurate three-point shooters of all time and one of the greatest coaches in NBA history.
Nick Kerr’s Career
Nick had a strong interest in basketball at an early age. At Southern California’s Torrey Pines High School, he began his basketball career. During his senior year, he excelled in this area, averaging a remarkable 15.1 points per game. His junior year was even more remarkable, with an average of 19.5 points per game. These early achievements were just a glimpse of the talent Nick possessed.
Because of his skill on the court, Nick played basketball in college, first at the University of San Diego and then at U.C. Berkeley. During the 2011–12 season, he played in 13 games for the San Diego basketball team, making a season-high 11 points versus UC Irvine.
However, Nick’s path involved more than just fun. While working in the video room for the San Antonio Spurs during the 2017–18 season, he also studied the tactical aspects of the game. After his time with the Spurs, Nick joined the Golden State Warriors, where he worked as an assistant video coordinator under his father’s supervision.
Nick’s commitment and knowledge of the sport were appreciated. Soon after, he was hired as an assistant with the Golden State Warriors’ G-League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors. Nick was elevated to the position of head coach for the 2023–24 season after two seasons in a move that garnered media attention. This appointment was a reflection of the organization’s confidence in him as well as of his coaching ability.
Nick And Kendall
Both Nick’s work and personal lives are active. His relationship with Kendall, who he is now happily married to, began in 2014. The pair frequently posts peeks of their daily lives on social media, highlighting their strong relationship and shared admiration.
