135. Steve Kerr

Steve Kerr will be a Hall of Fame lock…but that is as a Coach.

…and he should be.

As a Head Coach, Kerr captained the Golden State Warriors to four NBA Championships, was a two-time Coach of the Year, and was named to the top 15 NBA Coaches in NBA History.  That places him in Hall of Fame air, but this list is about what you do as a player, and nobody understood his role better than Steve Kerr.

Kerr might be one of the greatest sharpshooters behind the arc of all time, and as of this writing, he holds the highest 3-point Field Goal Percentage ever, and in the right system, he was electric.  Luckily for Kerr, he found that often, aiding Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls win their second three-peat and the San Antonio Spurs capture their first two titles.  

Kerr’s high-end court vision, selfishness, and leadership made Kerr one of the most valuable teammates of the 1990s and early 2000s, and even though he was no superstar, he knew better than anyone how to work with them.
