Steve Kerr on when Michael Jordan told him he'd take last shot of 1997 NBA Finals | The Jump

Steve Kerr joins Rachel Nichols and Scottie Pippen on The Jump to play "What Were You Thinking?", about the time he led a big comeback for the Chicago Bulls vs the Dallas Mavericks while Pippen and Michael Jordan was on the bench (a game Kerr couldn't even remember), as well as when Jordan told Kerr he'd have to take the last shot of Game 6 of the 1997 NBA Finals vs the Utah Jazz.

What a terrible way to end an interview, clearly Pippen was ready to go into detail about that play...a true joy for NBA fans. And they cut him off for commercial air time. Just a bad look for a network that’s “about” sports.

What a career Steve has had. 5 rings as a player, 3 as a coach. Played with MJ, Scottie, Duncan, Robinson while coached by Phil and Pop. And now successfully coaches one of the most talented teams. In my next life I want to come back as Steve Kerr.

Steve Kerr has been the same age for 30 years

*Steve Kerr: “I have no memory of this game.”* 😂

[rdanielr]

Commercials... we wanted to hear Scottie’s, one of the greatest ever, story... that’s why we follow basketball, to hear and experience the special moments...

Cold game she cut off Scottie Pippen when he tried to finish what he was saying.

How in the hell do you put Steev Kerr with his epic story at the end of the show and then cut him off?



Come on Becky, get it together.

I'm a big Kerr fan. He's very underrated. He came off the bench and hit the winner in the finals. Pure shooter. Majority of other pro players can't do that if their contract depended on it

[Xpegasu]

Steve is great. Humble, funny, great player, great coah. Almost impossible to not love this dude.

I don't understand why Scotty didn't become a narrator for national geography with his husky voice

1:12 actually alot of ppl don't realize but there was a defender in between Kukoc and Kerr ready to guard whoever MJ passed to. MJ brought the ball up his left side and looked at Kukoc to fake the pass and get the defender to run towards Kukoc, then passed it to Kerr so he had more of an open shot. You gotta see it from a different angle though.

[elwingy]

That play was all Jordan... and the fact that it is documented is priceless and shows just how incredible he was not just in skill but also deep understanding of what needs to be done. This wasnt Phill's play it was MJ's play and he executed it perfectly.

[rickymurray]

He still has the same haircut, bizarre comment

[chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa]

If you didnt know Kerr you would never guess he was a key part of 3 iconic dynasties. Bulls Spurs Warriors. He has the choir boy look.

[treyjay]

Steve Kerr went from being the point guard of one the NBA's best super teams and being one of the best shooters in the league to coaching the best super team that has the best shooter in the league.

[amadoumoustaphadieng]

Steve Kerr forever. An amazing individual. I'm a huge fan from Senegal, West Africa.

[desireeleigh]

Jordan put him in that position to shoot that ball. What a masterminded player🏀

[JnixMarshel]

Steve Kerr was a hero of mine, he was such an under dog in the sport.

[darebel]

Steve Kerr looks younger now than he did then. Great call by MJ, great pass and great shot. Steve said he would be ready and he was. 🏀💯🔥✌

Steve kerr is like a vintage champagne he gets cooler as he ages.
