I have always liked Steve Kerr, but I did not expect to read this whole 15,000-word profile of him at ESPN. Really interesting throughout.

Yeah, didn't really know what I was getting into when I delved into the piece. Even as a diehard Warriors fan the length was groan inducing. But it was a fantastic piece on an interesting man. 15,000 words have never gone by so fast.
I was oddly thrilled to see John McPhee's (60 ya) profile of Bill Bradley referenced https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1965/01/23/a-sense-of-where-you-are
I really enjoyed reading this piece. I've also been a fan of Kerr and I had known about the murder of Malcolm Kerr and recently read more about it after reading the recent Rabih Alameddine novel that takes place throughout the Lebanese civil war. But the part in the article about Steve Kerr learning of his father's death made me cry.
