Steve Kerr to Step Down as Team USA Coach After Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

Golden State Warriors coach aims for high note conclusion to his term as USA's basketball lead, while wrestling with potential star-studded roster for Paris 2024 Olympics

Steve Kerr, the coach of Golden State Warriors and Team USA, announced his decision to step down from Team USA after the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Kerr views his commitment to the team as a two-year cycle, following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Gregg Popovich.
Kerr's tenure as the head coach of Team USA has been marked by roster challenges, including a disappointing fourth-place finish in the FIBA World Cup. The selection process for the Paris 2024 games will involve tough decisions due to an influx of interest from acclaimed players.
NBA stars such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid have expressed their interest in playing in the Paris 2024 Olympics. The final selection, however, won't necessarily be based on star power alone, but also fit and roles in the team.
While stepping down, Kerr emphasized the importance of building culture and continuity within Team USA, acknowledging that other countries have closed the gap with the USA by playing with teams that have been together through multiple tournaments.
Despite the star-studded roster, Kerr warned that there is no guarantee for a fifth consecutive gold for Team USA at Paris 2024. He emphasized the need for attention to detail and strategic preparation.
