Overview
- Steve Kerr told L’Équipe that he “really considered” becoming head coach of Paris Basketball after exploratory talks with the club.
- Kerr says the idea was first raised by Paris Basketball president David Kahn during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games when Kerr was serving as Team USA coach.
- Kerr described the conversations as informal and said they never reached a serious or near agreement to sign him.
- Kerr ultimately extended his contract with the Golden State Warriors, reported through 2028, ending any short-term possibility of the move.
- Paris Basketball pursued the possibility because it viewed Kerr as a game‑changing hire, and Kerr said he likes Paris and remains open to coaching in Europe in the future.
