On Saturday, as the Warriors got ready to take on the San Antonio Spurs, there were two Steve Kerrs at Chase Center. Not quite, though.
During pregame warmups, the Warriors coach had a double in the building, and the quiet fan’s likeness to Kerr is as striking as it gets.
As seen by the millions of views the Kerr lookalike video received in a matter of minutes and the numerous fan reactions, Dub Nation was in complete disbelief.
These are some of the reactions found on Twitter:

Steve Gillis, a local girls club volleyball coach and English teacher at Bishop Gorman High School, is the Golden State Warriors coach’s twin.
Gillis is the director and co-founder of Summerlin Volleyball Academy, per his official bio. In his high school coaching career, he guided Gonzaga Prep to the top of the 4A rankings. He later served as the women’s volleyball coach at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington, from 1992 to 1994.
In addition, Gillis assisted with the University of Washington’s women’s volleyball team and coached the American men’s volleyball team during the 1998 Summer Olympics.
Well, it’s no coincidence that Steve Kerr’s lookalike too is a coach.
Steve Kerr signs a new contract with the Golden State Warriors
Steve Kerr recently signed a new contract that compensates him like a dynasty architect.
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 9: Roger Federer speaks with Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr before a game while promoting the Laver Cup San Francisco Launch for 2025 at Chase Center on March 9, 2024 in San Francisco, California.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that the head coach of the Golden State Warriors has agreed to a two-year, $35 million contract extension. Through the agreement, he will become the highest-paid coach in NBA history.
With a salary of $17.5 million each season, Kerr will be paid more than every player on the Warriors roster except for five.
The agreement was reached two years after Kerr’s most recent NBA title, and he is in his tenth season as the Warriors’ head coach. Though in the years following, the Warriors’ core has lost some of its shine; as of right now, they are 10th in the Western Conference with a record of 33-30 with them losing their most recent game against the San Antonio Spurs.
