Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was approached by Paris Basketball president David Kahn with a coaching job offer during the 2024 Olympics. According to French newspaper *L'Équipe*, Kahn, a former NBA executive, contacted Kerr after the two discussed the possibility during the games. Kerr reportedly told Kahn that he and his wife enjoyed exploring Paris and expressed interest in coaching there after leaving the NBA. The offer came as Kerr weighed his future, eventually deciding to re-sign with the Warriors on a two-year deal. While the Warriors remained his priority, the potential overseas opportunity remains an open consideration for his post-NBA career. Kahn had initially proposed the idea during the Olympics, where Kerr’s admiration for Paris grew after spending a day touring the city. Kerr’s decision to stay with the Warriors was finalized despite interest from other employers, including ESPN. The Paris Basketball offer was unique due to Kahn’s NBA background and Kerr’s personal connection to the city. Though no immediate plans for Paris have been confirmed, the door remains open for future discussions.
