[Saba Sports News] Steve Kerr’s wife, Margot Kerr, has been a constant support throughout his successful career as an American professional basketball coach. Steve, with nine NBA championships to his name, both as a player and coach, was part of legendary teams like the 1990s Chicago Bulls and the 2010s Golden State Warriors, amassing a net worth of $45 million.
Steve’s basketball journey began at the University of Arizona, where he excelled, earning First-Team All-PAC-12 honors and an All-American title during his senior year. He also set an NCAA single-season 3-point field-goal percentage record in 1987-88.
Drafted 50th overall by the Phoenix Suns in the 1988 NBA Draft, Steve had a respectable career with various teams, but he shone brightest with the Bulls and San Antonio Spurs. He retired as the all-time NBA leader in single-season 3-point shooting percentage and career 3-point shooting percentage.
Steve also ventured into broadcasting with TNT between his playing and coaching stints. Throughout his journey in basketball, Margot has been his steadfast companion since their college days.
Margot, born in Tucson, Arizona, in 1967, attended the University of Arizona concurrently with Steve. While her professional career remains undisclosed, she previously worked in real estate before relocating to be with Steve during his NBA career. She is also known for her philanthropic efforts.
Their love story began when a mutual friend introduced them. Steve and Margot’s relationship faced uncertainties in its early stages due to Steve’s basketball career, as he had a redshirt year before his senior season. However, they eventually tied the knot and have been happily married ever since.
After years of moving around during Steve’s NBA career, the Kerrs have settled down in the Bay Area, where Steve now serves as a successful head coach. In 2018, they purchased a mansion in San Francisco’s Presidio Heights neighborhood for $7.3 million.
The Kerrs are proud parents of three adult children who have pursued diverse paths. Nick Kerr, a former basketball player, is now an assistant coach with the Santa Cruz Warriors. Madeline Kerr, a volleyball star in college, became a lawyer and works as a corporate associate at Gunderson Dettmer. Matthew Kerr has chosen a different path, working as a writing assistant on the popular show “Ted Lasso,” focusing on relationship and humanity storylines.
