Steve Kerr Steps Down as Coach of the United States Basketball ‘Dream Team’ for Paris 2024 Olympics

Change in the most fearsome team in the world, the United States Basketball Team. The ‘Dream Team’ will not continue with Steve Kerr, one of the best coaches in the world, as coach after the long-awaited event of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in which the Stars and Stripes nation seeks to raise its morale after the dismal World Cup in the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. The one who was a brilliant shooter and also the ideologist of a brutal team – that of the Golden State Warriors – in the NBA will leave the team after a universal event in which a team full of stars is expected.

Steve Kerr inherited the Dream Team machinery after the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. It was directed by Gregg Popovich and he changed his position from assistant to head coach. He went to the World Cup, where the United States finished fourth and with a great failure. And he will go to the Games to close the circle. “Popovich did the same thing,” Kerr said. to ‘The Athletic’, the portal that reported the news.

The prestigious American website also includes Kerr’s reasons. “It’s how it should be. A form of commitment. A culture that you spend a number of years in. “It made more sense with ‘Coach K’ to be longer, but now it’s a cycle and you move,” he added.

It is a culture through which you change every cycle

Banchero regrets the defeat.

He will seek to boost the morale of ‘Team USA’ at the Games. They come from the painful end of the World Cup, in which Germany eliminated them in the semifinals (111-113) and Canada left them without bronze in third and fourth place (118-127). The United States brought a ‘C unit’ that did not work and, of course, generated debate. “The players are getting better and better in the world and the teams are better, it’s not easy to win,” Kerr acknowledged.

We are 100% committed

Given this, several stars ask to be in Paris. From LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, to the ‘showy signing’, Joel Embiid. He seemed to want to go to France, but ends up in the United States. “We are 100% committed,” Durant said about the new ‘Dream Team’.
