Under his leadership, the Warriors have become one of the most iconic franchises in all of sports, turning Oracle Arena and later the Chase Center into symbols of sustained excellence.
### What’s Next?
Kerr was quick to clarify that he is not retiring from basketball entirely. “I’m not ruling anything out,” he said. “But for now, I need time. Time to breathe, to reflect, and to be with my family.”
