Bill Dwyre: Steve Kerr is defined as a person by much more than basketball - Los Angeles Times

In his speech, Kerr said, "My parents literally showed me a whole world that existed beyond typical American culture. They gave me an education in understanding people, in being compassionate and respectful. They taught me that people may speak or dress differently, or have customs or beliefs foreign to me. It was important to not only understand those differences, but to embrace them as well."

And then the humor.

"That came in handy years later," Kerr said, "when Dennis Rodman became my teammate with the Bulls."
