Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry share a bond that no one in the Olympics could likely understand, as the two have been coach and star player for the last 11 seasons with the Golden State Warriors. They’ve seen it all together.
From winning championships to blowing leads to massive injuries, Kerr and Curry have been side by side through it all. That’s why it felt fitting when Curry was the star of the show in the 2024 Olympics while Kerr was the coach.
It was familiar. It was exciting. Through every up and down, Kerr and Curry have been by each other’s side, and with the release of Netflix’s “Court of Gold” docuseries, we see more of that relationship.
Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry Share A Moment Following Victory
As the clock winds down to signal Team USA’s victory over France in the Men’s basketball Olympic Final, Curry makes his patented “Night Night” gesture in front of thousands of screaming fans.
As Curry goes to celebrate with his fellow teammates like LeBron James and Kevin Durant, he is embraced by Kerr in a touching moment between the two.

“Oh my god, am I so f—ing lucky to be a part of your life. Holy s—, you’re amazing! The finest human being I’ve ever met in my life, and I mean that.”
For anyone to say that to another person shows the level of respect and love they have for someone. Kerr and Curry have been through so much that this moment encapsulates their journey as Curry inches near the end of his career.
Kerr Praises Curry’s Closing Stretch In Olympic Final
Kerr and Curry are shown throughout the docuseries, as they were vital to Team USA’s win. Kerr praises Curry multiple times throughout the series.
One moment that brought praise from Kerr to Curry was the final string of three-pointers that Curry hit to ice the game for Team USA. Kerr stood in awe of Curry’s heroic feat with every shot he made.
If anything, “Court Of Gold” is a testament to the long-term bond between player and coach, which is rare in this era of the NBA, where coaches are fired in less than two seasons and players are traded with ease.
Curry and Kerr could be considered a throwback to the era where teams had longevity together, where players and coaches stayed together through the ups and downs while figuring out how to win again.
