Before Steve Kerr roamed the sidelines in the Bay Area, the Golden State Warriors head coach played guard alongside Michael Jordan with the Chicago Bulls.
After playing for Phoenix, Cleveland and Orlando, Kerr found a home with Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson in Chicago. The former Arizona Wildcat played a significant role in Jordan’s second championship 3-peat with the Bulls.
In five seasons, Kerr averaged 8.2 points on 50.7% shooting from the field, with 47.9% from beyond the arc. The decorated NBA champion added 2.2 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game during his stint with the Bulls.

With the Jordan era film coming to an end, Warriors Wire looked back into Bulls’ history to highlight Kerr’s best regular-season performances with Chicago.
