**Congratulations: 5× NBA Champion and 4× Champion Coach Steve Kerr Celebrates 60th Birthday with Warriors Nation**
Golden State Warriors legend **Steve Kerr** is celebrating a major milestone as he turns **60 years old**, and the entire Warriors Nation is joining in to honor one of the most respected figures in basketball history. A 5-time NBA champion as a player and a 4-time NBA champion as a head coach, Kerr’s contributions to the game have left an unforgettable legacy, both on and off the court.
Born on **September 27, 1965**, Steve Kerr’s journey through the basketball world is the stuff of legends. As a player, he was known for his clutch shooting and high basketball IQ. Most famously, he hit the game-winning shot off a Michael Jordan assist to seal the 1997 NBA Finals for the Chicago Bulls. He went on to win three championships with the Bulls and two more with the San Antonio Spurs, making him one of the most decorated role players in league history.
However, it was as a coach where Kerr truly found his calling and reshaped the modern NBA. Taking over the Golden State Warriors in 2014, he immediately implemented a team-first, ball-sharing philosophy that revolutionized basketball. Under his leadership, the Warriors won titles in **2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022**, transforming into a dynasty led by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. His 2015–2016 squad famously went **73–9**, the best regular-season record in NBA history.
On his 60th birthday, tributes poured in from across the basketball world. Warriors players, coaches, and fans took to social media to share memories, appreciation, and good wishes.
> “Happy 60th to the man who helped change my career and the game itself. Love you, Coach,” tweeted Stephen Curry.
> “Thank you for your leadership, your integrity, and your passion. You’ve done it all, and you’ve done it the right way,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in a video message posted by the league.
At Chase Center, the Warriors organization honored Kerr with a private celebration, attended by current and former players, coaching staff, and close family and friends. Videos of his greatest moments—both as a player and coach—played on the jumbotron, and a special commemorative jersey with the number “60” was gifted to him.
Throughout the years, Kerr has not only been a basketball genius but also a powerful voice on social issues, consistently using his platform to speak out on matters of justice, equality, and human rights. That courage and conviction have only added to the respect he commands across the sports world.
As he enters his 60s, Steve Kerr remains an active and vital part of the Warriors organization, with hopes of guiding the team to yet another championship run. Whether on the court, in the locker room, or behind the scenes, his legacy continues to grow.
Warriors Nation salutes Coach Kerr—**a champion, a leader, a mentor, and now, a proud 60-year-old legend**. Happy Birthday, Coach!
