2. Steve Kerr, Golden State Warriors

What can I say? Steve Kerr is fresh off leading his Golden State Warriors to arguably the best regular season in NBA history. He also won the NBA Coach of the Year award this past season, and nearly completed earning back-to-back championships.

Unfortunately, thanks to Draymond Green’s stupidity and an absurd effort on LeBron James’ part, the Warriors blew a 3-1 series lead as the Cleveland Cavaliers won their first NBA Championship in franchise history.

Still, the 2015-16 Warriors, led by Kerr, will be forever remembered as the team that won 73 games in a regular season. Even though they lost the championship, it’s still something they should be proud of.
